Up here, it can't decide whether to be warm or cold, dry or wet. Blargh.

Psht...tell me about it...I liketa froze half to death today thinking it was going to be hot like usual...nope!

Why is waffle house more popular in the south than the north?
Is it because of the grease?

 

[SpaceProg]

Nah, it's just that the North and West has IHOP, and the South's niche filler for that is Waffle House. Like the North has White Castle, and the South has Krystal.

 

[_sunshinegirl]

I don't like Krystals personally.
So IHOP is bigger up north than here?
(sorry if I sound dumb, I've just never been up north or really anywhere besides my home state of TX, raised state of SC and here)

 

[SpaceProg]

Yeah a little bit bigger. There's IHOPs down South here too, but Waffle House pretty much corners that market.

what's white castle? never heard of one up here in ny

 

[SpaceProg]

It's a restaurant that sells these little square burgers that have chipped onions and a little thin meat patty on them normally. You can also get them with cheese or other stuff on them.

I love hash browns, I haven't had them in ages.
I haven't been to WH in a while come to think of it.
Nothing like the original Vanilla Coke.

Waffle House is awesome! In my opinion, the WH would make a great place for a first date because it's informal, it's not too expensive, it has a good selection, and it's a good way to weed out those snooty girls who expect you to worship the ground they walk on and demand only five star treatment and such and so.

Are any of you going to the Six Flags Christian Music Weekend, this w/e?

It's also a good way to see how they treat overworked waitresses. That says a lot about a person.

Not me...as my nanny likes to say, I'm broke as a ha'nt. I'd be lucky to afford the gas money to get back up to North GA, much less the price of admission...but Lord willing, I'll at least have some green to do SOMETHING over spring break.

Whereabouts in North GA?

EDIT: Oh I see, Six Flags. Oddly enough, Atlanta and the surrounding area seems more like "Middle" GA to me.

Guess I've been up here in the hills too long.

 

[creativedisco]

Actually, I'm still a little ways away from Six Flags. I'm actually from Commerce, but if that doesn't ring any bells, I'm about 30 minutes north of Athens. Yeah, Atlanta to me, isn't really North Georgia. It's more or less its own entity.

Correction: Atlanta is its own planet. I commute from the real world via UFO every morning.

Really? Then kindly tell your fellow aliens to stop buying up our land...lol...

Seriously, it seems like we've got subdivisions popping up all over the place back home...Jackson County's starting to look more like some kind of Atlanta suburb every day. Not that I mind it too bad because it's growing, but it kinda gets your attention when your family starts selling off land that has been in your family for who knows how long. . And of course, there are other members in the community fighting it tooth and nail, trying to hold on to every scrap of land they can while folks are buying people out left and right out here. Country ain't gonna be country for much longer....

*reads post...climbs off of soapbox*

Sorry about that, all. Looks like I vented a bit, didn't I? Always seems to happen when someone gets me to talking about Atl. Not that I have anything against Atlantians...some of my best friends are Atlantians in fact!

 

[SpaceProg]

Yeah, I read somewhere that Atlanta is one of the fastest growing cities in the country.
