GET READY TO CRACK UP!!
>>CUZ IT'S ALL TRUE!!!
>>
>> Subject: Fixin to go to Atlanta
>>
>>This is for anyone who lives in Atlanta, who has ever
>>lived in Atlanta, has ever visited Atlanta, ever plans
>>to visit Atlanta, knows anyone who already lives in
>>Atlanta, or knows anyone who has ever heard of
>>Atlanta, Georgia.
>>
>>Atlanta is composed mostly of one-way streets. The
>>only way to get out of downtown Atlanta is to turn
>>around and start over when you reach Greenville, South
>>Carolina.
>>
>>All directions start with, "Go down Peachtree" and
>>include the phrase, "When you see the Waffle House."
>>Except that in Cobb County, all directions begin with,
>>"Go to the Big Chicken."
>>
>>Peachtree Street has no beginning and no end and is
>>not to be confused with
>>Peachtree Circle
>>Peachtree Place
>>Peachtree Lane
>>Peachtree Road
>>Peachtree Parkway
>>Peachtree Run
>>Peachtree Terrace
>>Peachtree Avenue
>>Peachtree Commons
>>Peachtree Battle
>>Peachtree Corners
>>New Peachtree
>>Old Peachtree
>>West Peachtree
>>Peachtree-Dunwoody
>>Peachtree-Chamblee
>>Peachtree Industrial Boulevard
>>
>>Atlantans only know their way to work and their way
>>home. If you ask anyone for directions they will
>>always send you down Peachtree.
>>
>>Atlanta is the home of Coca-Cola. That's all they
>>drink there, so don't ask for any other soft drink
>>unless it's made by Coca-Cola.
>>
>>Gate One at Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport
>>is 32 miles away from the Main Concourse, so wear
>>sneakers and pack a lunch.
>>
>>The 8am rush hour is from 6:30 to 10:30 AM.
>>
>>The 5pm rush hour is from 3:00 to 7:30 PM.
>>
>>Friday's rush hour starts Thursday afternoon and lasts
>>through 2am Saturday.
>>
>>A native can only pronounce Ponce De Leon Avenue, so
>>do not attempt the Spanish pronunciation. People will
>>simply tilt their heads to the right and stare at you.
>>The Atlanta pronunciation is "pawns duh
>>LEE-on".
>>
>>The falling of one raindrop causes all drivers to
>>immediately forget all traffic rules. If a single
>>snowflake falls, the city is paralyzed for three days
>>and it's on all the channels as a news flash every 15
>>minutes for a week. All grocery stores will be sold
>>out of milk,bread, bottled water, toilet paper, and
>>beer.
>>
>>I-285, the loop that encircles Atlanta that has a
>>posted speed limit of 55 mph (but you have to maintain
>>80 mph just to keep from getting run over), is known
>>to truckers as "The Watermelon 500."
>>
>>Don't believe the directional markers on highways.
>>I-285 is marked "East" and "West" but you may be going
>>"North" or "South". The locals identify the direction
>>by referring to the "Inner Loop" and the "Outer Loop".
>>If you travel on Hwy 92 North, you will actually be
>>going southeast.
>>
>>Never buy a ladder or mattress in Atlanta. Just go to
>>one of the interstates and you will soon find one in
>>the middle of the road.
>>
>>The last thing you want to do is give another driver
>>the finger, unless your car is armored, your trigger
>>finger is itchy and your AK-47 has a full clip.
>>
>>Possums sleep in the middle of the road with their
>>feet in the air.
>>
>>There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 live in
>>Georgia.
>>
>>There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 live in
>>Georgia, plus a couple no one has seen before.
>>
>>If it grows, it sticks. If it crawls, it bites.
>>
>>It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy.
>>
>>"Fixinto" is one word (I'm fixinto go to the store).
>>
>>Sweet Tea is appropriate for all meals and you start
>>drinking it when you're 2 years old.
>>
>>"Jeeeet?" is actually a phrase meaning "Did you eat?"
>>
>>If you understand these jokes, forward them to your
>>friends from Atlanta, Georgia and those who just wish
>>they were.

You're RIGHT! From right near Powers Ferry, Paces Ferry, Johnsons Ferry, but don't forget all the Mills that need honoring! Paper Mill, Howell Mill, Terrell Mill, etc.

Don't forget the Dunwoody clan. Peachtree Dunwoody, Chamblee Dunwoody, Ashford Dunwoody, etc., ect.

I work off of Ashford Dunwoody and live off of Terrell Mill, close to where it intersects with Powers Ferry. Ugh.

I did figure out why Atlanta did this though. In case of invasion from the diabolical north, when stopping for directions to burn Atlanta down, they'd just say "Take Peachtree" & the aggressors would get lost wandering around trying to figure out the illogical mess, giving time to recruit, train & develop an army that has a shot. ;)

Oh good. I'm looking at a couple of cars on ebay that are in Atlanta. I guess if I come to get one I'll likely never get home?
