“Ezekiel 4:9″

Some southern stuff in Georgia is great - like the bible verse cereal!

Coke christmas ornament with real coke inside!

Waffles!

There are so many waffle houses here in Georgia! Not any old brand ones, just ‘Waffle House’ brand. THey’re like the Georgia version of Starbucks or McDonalds. These are the ones I saw in one day’s driving (actually there were more, cos I only started taking photos of them after lunch).

Antebellum Georgia

Took a drive around some areas where the remains of the old pre-civil war south is still in evidence.

Dukes of Hazard!

Mega Church!!

American Car!

Peachtree City

Peachtree City is a planned community outside of Atlanta. The best thing about it is all the track about the place that are for your golf cart! There is golf cart parking outside all the shops, and special bridges over the motorways.

There’s some pretty stuff though

Some other random stuff:

New Jersey to Atlanta

Took the subway and walked to the Bronx Zoo:

Bronx Zoo was kind of interesting, but also weird to have a zoo in the middle of a concrete jungle, as it were. Lots of the animals were not out in the open anyway as it was so cold (another -7 day).

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is amazing…. I only got through about 2/3 of the bottom floor before it closed, and I’m sure I missed lots of rooms. It’s quite crazy to be looking at a nice bowl then realize it’s not only from 4000BC, but that it was the actual bowl used by egyptian kings.

Rockefeller center

Times square again. Nice to see the military using a microsoft window to display a message. Also, the NYPD sign in times square is suitably neon.

NYC 2

Another day in the big city. As you can see, nice weather… but didn’t get close to 0 degrees all day… more like -7. Eesh.

Took the train again, and this time I decided to be more ‘New York’ so I read the paper.

Brooklyn Bridge.

Downtown, including the blingin’ NY Stock Exchange.

Staten Island Ferry.

‘Ground Zero’ - not much to see.

Lunch in a diner. Awesome.

Lower West Side was cool - Soho/Greenwich/Chelsea - I could spend more time here…. esp if I had some money.

In the “file under ‘other’ ” dept:

(free delivery McDonalds!)

It was so cold today that the water coming down the pipes froze.

I’m not sure if it was tame or not, but this guy didn’t seem to notice the squirrel hangin out on his pile of pics.

Parking space.

yet another permanently going out of sale store.
