Scott used to get up early in the morning before school and feed the horses. Our Boy Scout troop camped here. Skyview Drive was a dirt road for most of its length and Thornton Road was only two lanes.
Now, it's a Comfort Inn, a Shoney's, a Burger King, et cetera. Sing it, General Bullmoose:
Progress is the root of all evil.BTW, I'll be in the Atlanta area through Saturday. If anybody's up for a StacyPalooza, we'll convene at 4 p.m. Friday afternoon at an undisclosed restaurant in Buckhead. My good buddy Phil Kent -- the Jedi master who mentored me in advanced schmooze methodology -- has yet to name the location.
Progress is the cause of it all. . . .
Bring back the good old days!
Saturday evening has yet to be planned. If you are a reader in the Atlanta area, e-mail Smitty, who is in telephone communication with me and can provide location information.
Was just down there a couple of weeks ago, and stayed at the Georgian Terrace, on Peachtree right across from the Fox. I couldn't recommend it more highly; the place is fantastic, historic, and reasonably-priced -- $125 got me a beautifully-appointed two-bed suite with full kitchen, laundry room, and huge flat-panel TV. It also has a fully-restored convertible Cord parked out front, the one that Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh rode in to the premier of Gone With The Wind at the Fox back in '39. Probably a wee mite more expensive than the Comfort Inn, I'm guessing, but worth every penny.
