Default Atlanta 928ers

I will be in Atlanta Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday for work. Don't know how much spare time I'll have, but, I'd love to connect with another 928 fanatic.

I'll be working in downtown Atlanta (17th & Peachtree?). Don't know where I'll be staying yet. Who's within an hour of there?

I'll be driving a rental, not a 928, but oh well (unless Budget has one. )

I will buy you a chili dog at the Varsity, not a problem for me to get out.

I'm 15 minutes north of Atl on I-85. Maybe we can meet for a cold one after work.

If you go for the Varsity chili dog, make it Monday or Tuesday, not Wednesday. You don't want to spend the next day on a plane after eating at the Varsity the night before.

Greg,

That is EXACTLY the response I was looking for! And, you are EXACTLY the person I was hoping it would come from!

Again, I am uncertain of my schedule at this point, but, if you'd be willing to PM me more detailed info, I will contact you when I'm in town.

I do like chilli dogs and I'd be willing to buy a beer or two.

The worst part about Varsity dogs is that you will never be happy with another hot dog after eating the Varsity Chili Dogs.

They never have bothered me, love the things.

Maybe it was the onion rings.
Hopefully I will be able to join you where ever you go for beer after the Varsity.

Is that place that bad? Do I really want to eat there?

Guys,

All sounds good, but again, my schedule is uncertain. I am being thrown to a pack of wolves on this job and won't know anything until I am there. I will have a laptop but am unsure about connectability.

I will do my best to connect with other 928 freaks.

I'll PM you my cell.
I'm sure the Varsity is fine. They've been in business here for years. Just not one of my favorites. It's a love it or hate it thing. My boss is a big fan and brings in their catering van once a month for a co. lunch and no one has died yet although we've had a few leave early on those days.

Can't be there on Monday. Mike or Greg call me after you get a meeting time. I'll try to make it also. Ed

It is my favorite breakfast, puts a great big smile on my face. (I am being for real about that)


I just thought it was close to where he is going to be.
Lots of great places to eat down town.

I will be down that way for a lesson Monday and Wednesday from 5 to 630 so I am good for a couple cold ones on those nights!

I'll get into town around noon Monday an have to go work. Don't know how late that will get but Monday night might be possible. Chances are I'll have to work Tuesday but possibly only till noon or so so Tuesday afternoon / evening should be open for sure. I leave around noon Wednesday so that night is out for me.

Maybe I'll try breakfast at the Varsity Wednesday.

How about Mellow Mushroom at 1700 Peachtree St. NW Tuesday night?
