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)...
