I think they found the photo from an Atlanta set I posted over at skyscraperpage. There are some more photos from the Decatur square (near the end of the set): http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=146469

Great blog by the way. My wife and I have been enjoying it a lot.

An excellent pic BTW. Nice work.

The photo they used of Brickstore is one of mine, so I had a brief email contact with them. I’m going to let them know that, while flattering, they must have mistaken the location with Hazzard county, a few miles down the road.

It probably stems from most Northerners view of ANY city or town in the South. All the other bars on the list are in well-known liberal meccas outside the South (Seattle, San Fran, NYC, Portland ME, Denver) so they probably saw a little bar in a GA town they’ve never heard of and thought “what’s that all about?” And instead of doing any research, they just assumed it as an anomaly in an otherwise red state.

Definitely lame.

Nothing against budweiser or football, but it just seems like an odd way to describe Brickstore’s location. It’s nice to see Brickstore in this list though.
