What to do in Georgia

I drove across that piece of real estate about 30 hours ago. Many new homes...starting in the $200's. It's white across there.

I'll bite..........what's wrong with white people? (or did I not get the secret meaning behind his words?)

What relationship between 200's houses and being white across there?

 

[Gonz]

Nothing wrong with white people...new housing additions (far from inexpensive) tend to have lots of soccer moms & lawyer dads. This area used to be small acreage lots. Now it's undergoing a face lift.

Gato, you know damned well that, as a general rule of thumb, they don't build sub-divisions with names like Whispering Winds Pine Meadows Bambi Village Fawning Creek with people of non-caucasian hertiage as thier clientele target.

GA20 (between 985 & I75) is a clusterfuck. Too many white people & not enough land.

I know that's right. I been down that road way too many times.
It needs to be at least 4-laned. (shit just repaved would help)
400 needs some major work too.

If you decide to come down here, I'll run you down Old Canton Rd close to Roswell Road. Homes from the 800's - mostly being bought by blacks and Koreans.

Assumptions, man. You gotta watch out for that shit.

 

[unclehobart]

Heck... Come around my neck and I'll show you 3 million dollar houses being slapped up by Middle East types.

Stone Mountain. Before the damn Yanks succeed in having it sandblasted away.

That's "damned Yankees". I prefer my full title, please.

 

[Gonz]

Damn Yankees

Finished off the last of the Georgia Coke last night. I still say it tastes like creme soda.

 

[HomeLAN]

Then you either have a seriously warped sense of taste or your local bottlers of creme soda don't know what they're doing.

 

[Professur]

Not just my taste. The missus agreed with me. But then, your creme soda doesn't taste anything like ours either. Ran outta that stuff before I ran outta states.

And Quebec Coke doesn't taste like anyone else's either. Both Ontario and NB Coke taste like our Pepsi. Our Coke has a less sweet, more acid taste.

 

[unclehobart]

All Coke is actually tweaked in little ways to local tastes. Then there is the compounded effect of the differences in the water supply and the sugar suppliers and whatnot. It all comes out a little different.

If you would have gone downtown to the world of Coca Cola, you could have sampled various Coke styles from around the world. The SE Asia and Italian variants are positively scary.

 

[BeardofPants]

Yeah? How does the NZ one compare?
*would hate to think that there are sweeter varieties of coke.

 

[Winky]

The SE Asia and Italian variants are positively scary.

They prolly roxxor!

Man I can't find white cream soda (dunno if it was the pepsi or coke brand) anywhere here...Chris and I picked some up in Montreal last year and left it at Uki's...and we have looked and looked here for it to no avail...

Very sweet... very much like the German variety.

 

[unclehobart]

The Italian one reminded me of tonic water mixed with battery terminal scrapings.
