God, I hope you didn't eat the fish!

Before anyone knew GE (or their employees) were contaminating the river with PCB's?  ARGH!!!!!  You're probably safe!!  Actually, Rome is a fine place to live!  I can't complain.  I particularly like living here every time I have to drive to Atlanta during rush hour....  We have three remote campuses in the metro-Atlanta area and a large regional software user's group that includes seven private colleges from Georgia and one from SC so we meet all over Georgia!  Plus, a trip to the Varsity for a Frosted Orange is a necessity about once a month!

i got some family in dunwoody, i didnt think atlanta traffic was that bad but then again i've driven in boston

[MJZ]

My sister, her husband and kids moved from Dunwoody to Alpharetta and lastly to South Carolina. She says their entire devlopment in South Carolina is made up of people escaping Atlanta. I understand the traffic, crime and politics are running people out in mass. Hummm, sounds just like Memphis.

There's not enough money available to make me live in Hot'Lanta...no offense to those of you who live there, but Birmingham is about as big as I ever want. A few years from now, I may go even smaller, if I have a choice. Vgirl...Rome is a nice place!!  Actually, we're all lucky here in the South...can ride mostly year 'round, other than those cold rain days, hardly ever any snow or ice...it just gets hotter than Hades in July/August!!

Actually, my goal in life is to become a greeter at the Local Wal Mark...but now they've done away with the smiley face, so I'll have to set new goals in life

I don't blame them at all.  That's why we moved to NC a few years ago.  Now jobs have taken us to SoFla.  Kind of like Atlanta with Palm trees.  Already plotting another escape.  Teach your kids about self employment.

Had some friends in Atlanta who left for Birmingham (Mountain Brook, specifically).  Hope it's not getting overrun--seems every nice place is getting "discovered".

Red...yea, more and more people coming here...B'ham got a bad rap back in the 60's with the dogs and fire hoses...oh, it happened...but the attitudes here were'nt what they were depicted to be...I know, I was a kid here at the time.  So, everybody still has that picture in their mind when they think of Alabama, and Birmingham specifically.  So far, it's a well kept secret, but word is getting out.  They're building 350K+ houses around me like there's no tomorrow, and selling them as fast as they're completed.  Shelby County (just South of B'ham) experienced 20% growth in the last year.  Too many rats in the tank man....

Mountain Brook is a beautiful old area of B'ham...it's where all the rich folk lived when I was growing up, and it's still that way...there are some nice homes on some true "estates"...lot's of big trees, shady lanes....good place to ride, actually.  I grew up on the Steel Mill side of town, but the mills have all but shut down now and it's all about Medical Care and Financial Services...big banking area.

Now I wouldn't give you 2 cents for anything South of here, until you get to the beaches of course...everybody needs to experience the Flora-Bama and The Pink Pony at least once in their life   [smiley=drink.gif]

I've been there a few times for business.  The last trip was enough for me for a while.   [smiley=nervous.gif]  In one week, 4 earthquakes, 1 tsunami warning and lots of people at a conference whom had never experienced the ground shaking underneath them!  NOT FUN!!  One of those shakes was during a presentation and I just thought I tripped over the podium until I saw people filing out like herded cattle!!!  Legoland and Carlsbad is nice!

Self-employment...the way to go!  Too bad we all didn't figure that our earlier!

[SPIDERMAN]

Hey V,
          So you're saying you felt the earth move and that's a bad thing ?

Sheesh, I'll never figure women out !
