As Decatur Mom and the Decatur Minute point out, this Saturday is the DBA’s annual Easter Egg Hunt on Decatur Square.  They both have all the details, so pay them a visit.

I, however, am momentarily entertained by this Decatur Minute pic from last year, which uncaptioned seems to document some kind of child riot on the Square.

Could this be from the Great Playground Walkout of 2008?

Like most of Atlanta (sorry Atlanta), Decatur isn’t really much of a tourist destination (unless its a festival weekend.)   Its a city that caters to its residents (and zombies), not to out-of-towners looking for a fun-filled weekend of unspeakable, hedonistic joy.

That said, I’m sure many others have found themselves in a position similar to my own this past weekend.  (No, not drunk and broke on the casino floor – that was two weekends ago, I think.  Wait, what month is this?)

Let’s start over.

When family and friends come to visit, you want to show them a good time, cater to their interests, and also show off the city a bit.  But how best to do that?  What are your go-to Decatur spots and/or activities when guests are in town?

I need a go-to list of local spots for those days when I just can’t bring myself to suggest the High Museum again.

Late last year, after many Agnes Scott students and alumni revolted to the filming of raunchy Road Trip 2: Beer Pong, the school created an advisory board to approve all projects.

The AJC’s Jamie Gumbrecht (aka jamieg on Twitter) writes up the college’s recent soul searching about the types and messages of movies filmed on the college’s pictorial campus.
