Atlanta!!!

[JustAnotherThou]

I am in Atlanta this week and part of next week for a convention. (my first time here)

I just have to say that the people in Atlanta are the nicest people I have met!!! Everyone says “Hi!!”, and are actually friendly about it!! If you stand in one place for more than a minute, they will start up a conversation with you and seem genuinely interested.
So for Atlanta

I guess I am just used to Chicago where everyone just looks straight ahead and is walking as fast as they can to get away from a tourist (I do love Chicago also)

During the week it has been all convention work
This weekend we are going to being doing the fun touristy stuff. DH has his heart set on the CNN tour

I like Atlanta. There is some fantastic food there.

Welcome to Atlanta!!! I remember one time I was holding the door open for a young lady (I was about 25 at the time) while I was at work (I used to work for a Budweiser distributor before I went back to school to become an accountant; man I miss that job ) and she gave me the most confused, stink-eye look until I gave it right back and she realized, “Oh, that’s just what people do here without an ulterior motive.”:yup:

One of my sisters-in-law is from Chicago and she never stops mentioning how much better it is there. She can be a nasty, mean, vindictive, selfish person and has often made me think, “I’m pretty sure that they kicked you out of Chicago!”
