I must confess that this possibly could be the best graffiti Krog Tunnel artists have offered us in years. Thanks to my friend, Erika, for taking this fabulous photo this morning. Priceless.

Hungry Roofers in Atlanta
You can’t see this photo very well, so I apologize about that…but these [tag]“Hungry Roofers”[/tag] are legit and have their own website. What I don’t like about them is the fact that they put up crappy looking posters along Atlanta’s highways and main streets. I think they should take out real advertisements rather than trashing up our city with these bright green and orange posters.
I wonder if we are supposed to actually feed the roofer when he comes and to fix a roof?
What The F*#@: Part 3
I am not sure what happens in this place of business. Do they sell babies at a fast pace?
What The *#^@ ? Part Two
Wow. I am not sure even what to say to this one which we saw in the parking lot of a Waffle House in Gainesville, GA on our way to the outlet mall. Does this mean that God drove his Jag to the Waffle House on a Saturday morning? Or, does it mean that God purchased this Jag for the owner who was eating scattered, covered, and smothered hashbrowns at the Waffle House?
We just don’t know.
Signed, Sealed, and Delivered…
My neighbor, Johnnie (Big Mama) called me on Friday and asked if I could take her to the post office to “pick up her brother.” I was slightly confused and asked if she meant a package for her brother and she said, “yea, I need to pick up a package.” So, off we went in the rain to the post office. On our way, she started telling me that she was so mad her brother had died and that no one in her family wanted him. I asked her if it was the brother I had met, and she said that it was and that he had died and was being shipped to her. Finally, I got it. We were actually going to PICK UP HER BROTHER AT THE POST OFFICE!!!!
At this point, I was kinda excited about the whole trip – because I had been terribly annoyed to go out in the rain to pick up a package. But alas, no more! This was an adventure- something I had never done before – pick up a cremated body at the post office.
We got to the post office down the street and I told her I would go in so she would not have to get wet…secretly I wanted to be the one to pick the package up though! I walked to the window and told the lady at the counter that I had a package to pick up and whispered, “and it’s a person!” She said, “Girl we get that all the time and sometimes the boxes are all ornate.” I really really really wanted an ornate box, but when she brought it back, it was only a cardboard box. I did all the signing and brought it back to Johnnie in the car…and proceeded to take a picture of the box on her lap.
I would have felt I was being disrespectful, but Big Mama did not want her brother in the first place. ” I can’t believe it is not heavier,” I said, and Johnnie quipped back, “They burned all the fat off of him.” I asked her what she was going to do with him, and she said, “I am going to put him in the attic.”
The End.
More Photos Around The Atl…
My friend, Erika, took this fab photo in Candler Park near the yummy Gato Bizco – on an electric box. Loved it!
Now, this billboard below freaks me out completely. I had a hard time getting a good picture the other day since I was driving while taking it (not a good idea…) I finally Googled it and what do you know- it is art! and these guys on the billboards are real soldiers who were photographed while home from Iraq or Afghanistan. This Soldier Billboard is on Marietta Ave before Northside heading toward the Westside. I have to say it is a powerful photo and one that really makes me want to wreck my car when passing it. This soldier’s name is Bruno and he has been in Iraq 355 friggin days.
WHAT HAPPENED TO RANDOM ATLANTA?
We don’t know…I mean we lost a month’s worth of posts. How horrid is that? Stupid server people. Stupid technology.
But, yeah we are back on-line – a little bruised and jilted from our few weeks off, but we will have outrageous posts soon. We have been in the car a lot taking loads of pictures, so things are a coming!
Thanks for understanding, Ashley, Alison, Brutus, and Little Girl.
What The *#@^?
Do you need a pet, help with taxes, a new tire, or some bait? Search no more. I have found you the place.
And I just found this sign below this morning off of Peachtree. Loved the 1950′s look of it.
Usual Random Photos From The ATL.
So, I have had an interesting week of taking Marta, walking, and indeed driving my Prius to most places Marta won’t go. Here are some pictures taken in the last week that I find funny /interesting.
Here is a picture I took on Marta (sorry so fuzzy) – but this advertisement is for a hooker – oh wait, no – it is for a DENTIST! I mean look at the sex in this advertisement. Made me want to go home and shower!
This next photo was taken by Tammy – yes, I made her get out of the car and run to the sign at night – heading back to her home in East Atl.
And finally, on I-20, the day we were told the world would end if we did not bail out Wall Street – I saw a double rainbow! Gotta hope!
Random Packaging
I made some “homemade” chicken and dumplings the other night and let me just say they were tasty. Before hand, I went and bought these dumplings (obviously they were “homemade” by Mary Hill herself) in the frozen food section of Publix. Now, Grandma Mary on the picture made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and lo and behold, she has a message too on the packaging. I thought I would share it with you. (They are made in Georgia-not Atlanta per say, but close enough to warrant a post.)
