    Go, Bell Street Burritos! Definitely one of my favorite food spots in Atlanta. We tried to convince Matt Hinton to open his new location in Edinburgh — there is not a single burrito place in this otherwise wonderful city.

      Look up Taco Mamazan. They are a burrito/taco delivery place in Glasgow and may have an Edinburgh branch? One of the best burritos I’ve EVER had.

    The Amazon reviews are not brilliant but they made me laugh out loud. Sometimes stupid is funny.

      I seriously LOL’d at those reviews. The Wolf Urine Lure is a scream!

      I always enjoy her flashmobs at Oakhurst Community Circle. Thriller has been the best so far…nothing like elementary school zombies!

    Truly a shame to see a building like this go; and they are even going to pay to demolish it. Couldn’t the powers that be find a worthy entity to deed it over to?
    Winder? Yes. Though Decatur is a wonderful island of perfection, the better the surrounding areas — including Suburban Plaza, Winder and the entire state — the better we all are.
    And yes, I dangled a preposition. I’m sorry.
