Beer yes, and prepare to celebrate the Civil War if visiting Stone Mountain Park for 4th of July fireworks! <BR>
I'm originally from Oregon and California and have lived in the South since 1989. Other than a general <BR>
distaste for Gen. Sherman among some circles I can't think of much to comment upon regarding the ATL<BR>
save being a tech mecca, center for hip hop and hometown of our beloved Waffle House. Oh, yeah, we<BR>
have Coke too.<BR>
<BR>
Welcome to the ATL! I too am new to the group but they're a great crowd...but still have yet to try Charles'<BR>
beer...perhaps at the gathering we've been talking about? : )<BR>

Learn to brew beer, you'll be ok.
So anyways, welcome. We try to do a key-signing every year or so.
Perhaps you'd like to organize it? (heh heh, I helped last year..)
