Down with Fellini's

I was hoping to report on the blog tonight a wonderful culinary experience from today. Rather, I have to warn you--if you are ever in Atlanta, do not eat at Fellini's Pizza. I have seen a few of them around the city. Today, we ate at one on Ponce de Leon Ave. It was gross. The pizza was not that great--sort of a cardboard'y taste. And the calzone was just a big chunk of cheese--with a little bit of crust and some sausage in it. The only good thing, as Lauren reports, is the mariana sauce that came with the calzone. That's about it. Her vote was to go The Varsity. I voted to try something new. We should have stuck with the good ol' grease pit, The Varsity. I highly regret our decision.

We went into town to do a few things and go watch a movie. Then, when we were there, sitting down and watching a movie in a dark theatre right after lunch just made us sleepy (of course, the greasy cheese and pizza mixture in the bottom of our stomachs probably did not help--I know, probably a lovely visual for you). So we explored a bit. We came upon Atlantic Station--an outdoor mall along with lots of different housing, very close to downtown. Was pretty cool. Banana Republic, Express, things like that. Had a really trendy-looking Target--with parking on the first level, then the Target above it. Was pretty cool. I had a Starbuck's Frappucino to salvage our eating experience for the day (we do not have a Starbuck's here in Carrollton--one thing that we do not have but desperately need).

We took the camera to hopefully take some cool pics from our lunch experience--then our stomachs and heads hurt, so we just wanted to get out of there. And, there is this ginormously huge mailbox outside of Douglasville I had hoped to get a shot of--but it was almost dark when we passed through Douglasville--so alas, no picture for this posting.

Hope all is well with you out there in internet-land. As a good friend would put it--remember, we are just 10 minutes east of Dallas, via the internet. We look forward to our Texas voyage, just around the corner. All is well here in Georgia. Lauren is lovin' life now with school being out for the semester. Work is going great for me--we have already had our big youth Christmas shin-dig . . . and I am really enjoying getting out and watching youth's games and concerts around town.
