Raymond (Everybody Loves)….Chris (Everybody Hates)
Normally when I leave places I’m usually excited to be going back home. Not this morning. I wish I could stay longer, the A was great to me and I see why everyone thrives down here. They all stick together and EVERYBODY hustles. Whether legal or illegal, everyone makes money together.
The wait at Gladys Knights Chicken and Waffles was 2 hours and people stayed. Saw a guy at A-Town day with a duffel bag full of money, just from printing up his own street magazine and selling it hand to hand. All the local artists perform and promote each others songs. It’s really good to see and I think if we adopted this attitude up top, we could be doing the same. I’m not gonna hold my breath on that one.
Still got love for home though, it’s just disappointing when you know what is and you see what can be.
Thanks ATL for having me, I’ll be back in a little bit.
Congratulations on the A-town visit. I did mine back in 2006 and it was an eye opening experience for me. It was like the whole city was like an all black, nicer, cleaner, warmer, NorthWest/Nouthwest washington dc. To this day I still want to move there. Everyone is working….working together….most are happy. Not much hate. But check this…..you thought 9 hours was long…try 13 to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida….alone. Stopped twice 4 gas. I did that one back in ’05. Best driving experience ever. But I would NEVER do it again. I’m glad I did it though.
Kirk…Man you did 13? I might have killed myself. But just like you said it’s like the best and worst thing you can do. It’s like torture but also rewarding.
And you’re dead on about the A being like a nicer and cleaner NW, that’s exactly how I would describe it.
