The Atlanta Braves Thread VII

[TBrown]

Bingo. Same rings true for me in Downtown Nashville.

Nashville sucks Scott

 

[Vercingetorix]

Is there any good sport retail shops in Atlanta where they sell different NBA/MLB gear? My brother is a big NBA nut and would love to go to one.

Walter's downtown is legendary. It's next to Georgia State.

There are hardly any Denny's in the South. Waffle House choked 'em out.

 

[Vercingetorix]

But roughly 84 waffle houses

Unless there are none at all in south Atlanta, it's gotta be higher. I personally have eaten in about 25-30 of them over the years.

 

[Regulator]

Leaving for Jonesboro, GA in an hour. Atlanta game Saturday night. Coca-Cola World Saturday afternoon. Anybody got any under 21 ideas for a couple hours that me and my brother can do in Atlanta?

Dave & Buster's

I've passed that a couple times..wanted to go in but wasn't sure what it was

 

[Vercingetorix]

Dammit.. I'd love some ice skating

I skated there once on a weekend trip down from Knoxville. I was maybe 10 years old. Never forgiven them for taking out the rink.

And Reggie's. That place sucks without Reggie's.

Hey go to The Varsity that's a thing.

 

[TBrown]

Waiting for tonight's lineup so I can decide which short to wear. Ready to rock my BJ Upton shirsey to the max. May save it for tomorrow since Stras is pitching tonight. I'm turning bossman's season around

A lot would disagree with you. I mean, it doesn't suck but it isn't great. I've lived in better and worse cities. I don't ever go downtown way too hokey with all the tourist.

Skated exactly twice in my life. Once on a giant frozen lake outside of Detroit in 3 degree weather, and once at the Rockefeller Center the day before Christmas in 18 degree weather with hundreds of people shoulder to shoulder in a tiny congested area. Needless to say, not a big ice skating fan all things considered.

It's a "footwear and apparel" place with a ton of street cred among Atlanta's urban gentlemen. Supposedly all the pro athletes shop there, although it was empty when I went in. Lots of stuff, not cheap. Ga State has been trying to buy them out for years but they refuse to move.

@Braves: Tonight's lineup vs. WSH (7:35, FSS/680AM/BRN): Heyward 8 Pena 6 JUpton 9 Freeman 3 Gattis 7 McCann 2 Uggla 4 CJohnson 5 Teheran 1

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Notice no Laird catching Julio.. Hmmmm?

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

C Johnson hitting 8th after Uggla. Wouldn't be surprised to see Teheran drive him in at some point tonight.

Less than a week into summer vacation and the kids are already driving me batshat. Shoulda taken them on MARTA down to CNN Center to terrorize Brown. They like Taco Mac.

I kept an eye out for a slightly miserable, bald man with two young energetic kids. My head was on a swivel

 

[TBrown]

Also, I've never had taco mac. All it's cracked up to be?

The best wing place in Atlanta is The Wing Factory. Two locations. One on Roswell Rd. and the other off of Peachtree Ind. inside the parameter. Unbelievable wings.

Wing Factory – Atlanta

Taco Mac is not all bad, I personally prefer their boneless wings versus the conventional variety... and that only because it is meager in comparison to The Wing Factory.

Sounds good.. May check that out tomorrow. So traditional wings at the wing factory are what you suggest?

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Taco Mac is a notch above ok. Nothing to write home about, but enjoyable nonetheless.
