I have been so happy to send them lots of on-the-ground information since then and have even had a few visitors to enlighten with even greater clarity (and purpose). I have found the entire Decatur-Atlanta experience fascinating, intriguing, and never-ever boring. The breadth and depth of cultural opportunities, historic neighborhoods, the city-in-the-forest reality, and genuine sweetness of the people in this area all make me happy for the decision I made to move to Georgia. Thanks to everybody I have met and enjoyed here, and hope the fun lasts a long long time.

In any event, labeling BSP a gastropub isn’t that far off IMO

Los Angeles is obviously quite urban and it can take an hour and a half to get to snow or the ocean, depending where in the L.A. basin you reside and traffic, but I met loads of hikers, backpackers, skiers, cross-country skiers, mountaineers there. The Sierras were six hours away but people went up there all the time. Atlanta used to be so suburban that I despaired when I moved here. Most of the people I met considered going out to eat to be their idea of adventure (and this is BEFORE kids!). That’s really changed over the years, at least in Decatur. Lots of folks seem outdoors-oriented. However, the mosquitos are a lot worse in the summer here compared to the Sierras…..
