As I was flipping through the current issue of Atlanta Magazine while waiting to cut my hairs cut yesterday, I noticed a series of bar charts that showed the breakdown of Obama/McCain contributions by Atlanta metro zip code.

Bet you can’t guess which zip loves Obama the mostest?

Yep! According to the chart, of the roughly $100,000 sent to one of the two presidential candidates from 30030, 95% went to Obama.  Staggering!  No other metro area came close to being so one-sided.  (Sorry, I can’t recall or find the source…maybe someone could provide it)

Doesn’t look like area Dems should lose much sleep over the increase in McCain yard signs after all.  We still seem to be Georgia’s liberal mecca.

OK, obviously you can’t eat ON MARTA (even though you can carry a concealed weapon!), but according to this AJC blog posting, you can still find cheap eats around the MARTA stations.  (What a revelation!)

Case in point…Duck’s Cosmic Kitchen! (pictured above)  Just a quick walk down East College from Avondale station…if you enjoy the rush of passing vehicles.

Humorously, in rattling off the various spots to eat near MARTA stations, the post doesn’t mention Decatur Station or Lindburgh…both which have countless restaurants right outside their entrances.  I guess maybe that’s just too easy.

Thanks to AJC golden child Carl for the link!
