Chicken, Poo, Crackheads & Waffles: Adventures in the West End.
"Boston Supreme-fish market" a local hot spot to roach like bums-who scatter as you pull in the parking lot- is convientetly located next to a Chevron in the west-end. This was the first place i had the honor to visit, when i came to see schools in Atlanta. No thanks to my adoring brother, a morehouse man himself who thought that by enriching me into this communities everyday 'on the corner pill poppin' places I would become more aquianted to my new home in the so called "pit" (armpit) of Atlanta!
Needless to say, i was entertainingly traumatized and somehow entrigued to learn, see, and do more in this-my new home! And it wasnt until me my roommates and friends experianced some of the most outragrous and hilarious situtions that i decided to create a list of things that scream west end crazyness that deserve recognition! And if you've had similar experiances please add on!
