I'm in Atlanta, Georgia, today and tomorrow, for some customer and sales team meetings. And it's already been an adventure.
At lunch, we dined at Paschal's where I enjoyed Fried Green Tomatoes, Gumbo, Cornbread, and the most amazing Crab Cakes I've ever eaten in my life. My companions had Fried Chicken (not double-dipped) with Collard Greens and Black-eyed Peas. Delicious all around.
And then after lunch, between customer meetings, as we were walking through downtown Atlanta, we saw a vagrant reliving himself on the sidewalk. Aiming at a passing well-dressed lady and her Pekinese. While lying down on the concrete on his side. Lying down. On the sidewalk. With his *ahem* equipment out. IN. FULL. VIEW.
I'm pretty sure this isn't what they mean when they talk about "Southern Hospitality."
