Look out Atlanta the Yankees are com'in to town

“Just found out I'll be coming down to Atlanta for 3 days this weekend on business. My boss told me to leave the backpack home though :(”

“Atlanta's FULL of yankees already, LOLOL”

“Yanks coming to town?

Yanks gonna mow 'em down...”

“so sirpete, do away with your boss!

then go hiking!”

“You damn Yankees keep invading our southern states, now cut it out and go back north!

artex covers mouth with both hands while snickering”

“Pipe down, Redneck!”

“but isnt he called a
Transplant Redneck?”

“Cracker!”

“So what brings you to the Occupied City of ATL?

Shoot me an e, I'll meet you for dinner or something.

Include where you'll be staying, your work hours, etc.

There are a number of after business hours hikes available within an hour or so from downtown, too.”

“Crack Puppy Cracker to you!”

“I thought this was a baseball thread...”

“From Crack Puppy to Cracker Puppy in one swell foop?


(Florida's not reallyin the South anyway, LOL)”

“Tilt, that is only true to a certain extent. Draw a line between Tampa and Orlando. Anywhere north of that line is the south. Anywhere south of that line is New York. :-)”

“One of my best buddies from my Tampa days used to say that anyone who wasn't from Tenessee was a Yankee. He was from near the Jack Daniels site (Lynchburg, I think???)”

“Interesting take, since a large number of Tennesseans fought for the North, especially if they were from east Tennessee”

“I bet the residents of Mississippi would love to hear him say that to their face! :-)”

“i never said I saw the logic to it. I used to constantly ask him why he was friends with the likes of me...”

“I've noticed people draw that line in different places. It's usually south of Gainesville, though, <G>

Then there's Kennedy Space Center, all those orange trees, Mickey Mouse... the Everglades... New York, then Cuba? Then there's Key West. I'm so confused, LOL”

“Yeah, the lines definitely aren't set in stone. I base my Orlando/Tampa line in large part because of Inverness, which is between Tampa and Gainesville. It's definitely pretty "southern."”

“I just got back from a few Spring Training baseball games in Orlando, and it is not in the South.

sirpete of to many letters enjoy ATL and call if you get time”

“I will be there for a short weekend. the plans are still sketchy at best, fly in early Sat am and fly out late Mon. pm Saturday and sunday evening is the only time I think I will be free. Gojo it would be hice to see you again. I'm note sure where we are staying, some Lake resort or something outside of town????

As for Tennessee I've said it before, once I saw Walkindude in action I realized why we won the war!”

“BTW mapleleaf, I asked the boss about the backpack and he gave me a big fat NO”

“Hmmmmm...
Sounds like you may be staying at Lake Lanier Islands(?).

If so, you'll be within an hour or so of the AT, Blood Mt., etc...

Again, gimme and e when you know for sure. I can forward my phone # so's you can call when you get here...”

“yeah I think that may be the place.”
