I had two couples of older OTP’ers inform me that 285 was referred to as “the ring around the jungle”. So I figured there’d be no reason to explore OTP (except state parks, camping, hiking…), hell, after growing up in Florida, I was tired of that attitude.

Good one. But Grady Hospital is still downtown. Or is that a different Grady?

Is there a “View of the World from Decatur” yet like the series based on the original New Yorker view of the world from Manhattan (New Jersey large, California small on the horizon, little in between)? If not, I’ll collaborate with someone who can draw and maybe we’ve got a big seller at the next Decatur Arts Festival! I never go OTP except for recreational trips outside the Metro area or to see in-laws. It’s not that I’m against going OTP, I just don’t ever have any urges or reasons to do so. Even ITP, I find most of my needs more than met in a radius of whatever distance it is from Decatur to downtown. I get annoyed if I have to go as far as Midtown, Buckhead, or Dunwoody and I used to zip over those spots all the time when I was single.

I’ve got to put “expose my children to other areas” on my to-do list.

… never leave ITP? I’ve lived there. There are both.

But that’s just between me and you, right Eric?

It’s not DM’s fault. He has been eaten by the Random Apostrophe Demon.

So I have to take just a tiny little dig at DM. DM, you have trouble with your apostrophes. Keep in mind the difference between it’s and its. For example, from your latest comment:

“…news dialogue or whether new media will use it’s lack of debt and old bureaucracy…” That it’s should not have an apostrophe.

Sorry for being such grammar policeman.
