In Atlanta’s daily paper, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, there is a section called “The Vent.” The Vent is basically made up of maybe a dozen or so small rants and raves from locals, hence the “vent” name.

I was reading through the August 3rd paper and came across this piece in “The Vent:”

“I have been banished to living in Brooklyn, and I am craving Chick-fil-A, sweet tea, hot humid steamy weather and even Spaghetti Junction. When I am released from this prison, I will be looking for a new employer and I will never, ever leave the ATL again!”

So, there you have it. An Atlanta local made the move to Brooklyn and regrets it…mightly timely if you ask me.

P.S.: Polishing up my Who’s Online with Memcached post soon!

Well, we made it to Atlanta! We closed on the house this morning and are now living in it! Granted, we don’t have any chairs, but we’ve bought bedroom, office, and eat-in-kitchen furniture, along with barstools for the island in the kitchen.

So, things are coming together! Our collective savings account is growing a little smaller each day, but that’s a small price to pay for being homeowners.

More to come shortly! I’ve also setup apple2peach.com to blog on the NYC-to-ATL transition. I’ll find the time to get that site going soon. Stay tuned!

Well, the time has come…we’re finally moving to Georgia! After over a year of thinking and planning, the house is just about done; we’re closing on Friday the 20th!

Special thanks to everyone in New York that’s been so special to me (and us!) over the years. Friends, family, co-workers and all…we’re sad to leave, but it’s exciting to take on a slower-paced, arguably more “normal” life…and our sweet new house!

We’ll be back from time to time, so we’re not gone forever! See you soon, New York…

Not much to say…the pictures speak for themselves!

Moving right along! Cabinets are going in today, and the driveway (and the back porch, I assume) was poured last week. I’ve also been told that some painting has begun…
