Hey, Raggie, I've been to Marietta. It's a cute little town. My brother was stationed there while he was in the Air Force, and I went to visit him and his family. I traveled there from Oklahoma. It was my introduction to the southern states.

I lived in the Atlanta 'burbs for a few years, but that was a while ago. I miss it.

We visited last month. Kyra loved the fountain in Olympic park.

Not exactly in Atlanta, but not too far off. Columbus/Ft Benning. Yeah, I know...The armpit of Georgia, where our motto is "we live here so you won't have to." /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

ever go to ranger joes/?

All the time. I picked up a few Streamlights there recently. I could have bought them online, but I like the fact that you can check out the display models at Ranger Joe's.

ranger joes has lots of cool stuff. that other place is pretty cool to.i usaly go to columbus when i wanna go to circuit city.

The other place? You mean US Cavalry on Victory Drive? They closed down a few years ago. They were way overpriced and their customer service sucked. They used to get alot of complaints from the local troops in Ft Benning, but there's a new shop called Commando Military Supply where they carry a few Surefire and Princeton Tec lights. No LEDs though.

They opened a Best Buy not too long ago right next to Peachtree Mall to compete with Circuit City. It seems to do more business now than Circuit City.

sweet i went to columbus one day and looked all over for best buy i was fianly told they had none..i like best buy

I used to go to go to Atlanta quite often when I was at Benning and Stewart. Of course I spent a fair amount of time and money at Ranger Joe's in Columbus. Mostly remember buying knives there, A Fairbairn-Sykes that didn't make it through Ranger School (probably still driven to the hilt in a tree outside the barracks because I got bored one night and managed to break the tip off) and a Puma WhiteHunter and a Puma Game Warden folder that DID make it through several years of military service with me, and the Whitehunter actually, literally, saved my life once.

My favorite place in Atlanta was "Underground Atlanta"----
Is that still there?
There was a really good non-traditional mexican food place there, and all kinds of entertainment for a bored young fellow. I also wandered the streets downtown eating a dozen Krystal hamburgers at a time then heading over to Dunkin Donuts, then over to the USO or the Playboy club where I was too shy to talk to any of the ladies.

Savannah was also really neat to walk around in. But my favorite place in Georgia was Dalhonega.

last time i was in underground was a about 4 years ago im very sure its still there..i liked some of the rock clubs in atl .but i kinda avoid crowds now

Not Atlanta, but only a bit south of Savannah. Big storms yesterday and this evening going through, but so far the power is still on.

yeah, the underground was there last time I passed through. Not a bad place to visit.

I travel to Marietta everything couple of months on business.

Underground is still there.
It's more of a tourist attraction. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
