Atlanta is definitely a sprawling city with traffic that makes me crazy sometimes, though I have learned to outsmart the traffic.

I readily concede that Chicago is a sweet city. Frankly, I'd take it over New York 6 times out of 10. But in the end, Atlanta is home for me and I love where I am now. Nothing against Chicago though.

i'm currently living in atlanta too! very cool to hear that you're living around here as well!

as for atlanta as a city itself, i've never really thought of it as sprawling, more like way too spread out... but that is just me because i personally don't like the idea of having to depends on a car just to go anywhere...

back on topic, for some reason, this condemning of the harry potter books just sounds like a knee jerk reflex to do that out of fear of witchcraft and in desperate attempts to cling on to something that they are familiar with, despite the fact that these stories are clearly ficticious in nature... in actuality, this "witchhunt" method always seems happens to anything that someone is intensely afraid of... makes me think that these people should worry about themselves as opposed to worrying about people (no this does not apply to everyone)...

Agree--part of the reason the traffic down here sucks so bad!

Fortunately for me(at least somewhat), I was born here and know a thing or two about navigating around the traffic. I hardly ever have to touch the highways anymore. Atlanta is a great place if you can live in town, otherwise the whole commute issue becomes exponentially more painful.

That sums it up for me. Most of Harry Potters loudest proponents aren�t even children.

Bumbledore and Twixtarod will not be pleased.

Anyway, so what happens when the pope uses his magic powers against the witchery of harry potter? Pope: "I CONDEMN THEEEE IN THE NAME OF GOD!"... Potter: "SHAZBOT, KLEENEX, OORTON, TREBEK!" I think it could be exciting enough to fill another whole 20 novels full of bullshit.
