Being in a big city has been very interesting to both Paul and I. I think when we moved here we pictured very much conservative, white, southern city. We were clearly wrong in this prediction. We are the minority here. Atlanta is such a diverse city with so many different cultures and backgrounds. Last Friday night made us remember how different of a world we live from Durango. We wanted to go out for a drink. Everything was packed except for one little bar. So, we went and immediately realized we had walked in to a lesbian bar. There was a Melissa Etheridge sing-a-like on stage with all sorts of same sex couples. There was not a single man there. Talk about awkward. But, we had already had walked in and we clearly couldn't just walk out so, we held our heads high and sat a table with nothing but "Girls Coming Out" and "Pride" magazines everywhere. We ordered our drink and had a good time and had a huge laugh after leaving the bar. Decatur, the suburb of Atlanta we live in has one fact many of you may not know. Decatur has one of the highest percentage of gays in the entire US! We have neighbors in every directions whom are same sex couples. A nick name for the area is "Dick-Hater". Crazy huh? Here is a link to Wikipedia's explanation of Decatur. Just wanted to share a little bit of our new little world we live in down here in ATL!
