The Boyfriend and I will be celebrating our four year anniversary on February 15th. For a few years, we've been toying with the idea of doing a "home town tourist" kind of thing where we go and check out all of the interesting Georgia landmarks, tourist spots, etc. We were talking about what we wanted to do for our anniversary, and this idea popped into our minds.

On a more wealthy budget, we could do things like go to the Aquarium or visit the World of Coke. Unfortunately, we lack wealth. That said, we'd like to try to find some alternative, silly, interesting, weird, quirky or otherwise notable places of interest in the Atlanta and Gwinnett County areas. Any suggestions are appreciated! Our interests are varied, so anything from "Snellville's Largest Ball of Twine" to "East Atlanta's Secret Communist Museum" would be fantastic! Nothing is too weird or too dull.

When posting suggestions, please keep in mind the lack of money (can't spend more than 5 - 15$ per place we visit) and that we'd like to visit a few different places, so there is no limit on amount of things to suggest! When you suggest something, it'd be awesome if you could include the price with the suggestion!


Other Info:


1. For various reasons (already been, used to work there, costly, etc), we would prefer not to visit the following places:

Stone Mountain Park
Mall of Georgia
Georgia Aquarium
World of Coke
CNN Center

2. Although staying out super late is perfectly fine, we won't be able to spend the night out wherever we go, so camping, interesting hotel room, etc is out :(
Now, my wonderous Atlantan friends... go forth! Suggest!

City of Decatur expanding

From today's AJC.com:
Decatur is exploring whether to annex a square mile of unincorporated DeKalb County, a move that could swell the city's population by more than a third, to 27,000, and add several revenue-generating commercial properties to its tax rolls.
(...)
The area being eyed includes a largely residential strip between Decatur and Avondale Estates. The proposal also calls for a small extension of the city's northern boundary that would pick up three shopping centers — Publix-anchored Emory Commons, Suburban Plaza and a Kroger-anchored shopping strip near DeKalb Medical.
Read the rest here.

As someone who lives in that area between Decatur and Avondale, I'm curious exactly which strip they're talking about. I can't find anything on the decaturga.com website - does anyone have any more info on this? I'm torn between wanting the benefits that come with being part of the city, and the fact our property taxes would skyrocket if we were annexed.

Wig shops

Can anyone recommend a good wig shop? I'm talking about a place that would have hundrends of wigs. I lived in other (smaller) cities in the South and I've always found that one awesome place to shop, but I'm not having any luck in Atlanta.

I've been to Junkmans, Libertine, Golden Beauty Supply on N Decatur Rd, MK Beauty Supply in the Kroger shopping center on DeKalb Indust Hwy and Classy Fashion in downtown Decatur. None of these places have the selection I'm looking for.

Any recommendations would be helpful, before I take a google map and start driving to every one on the list.

Issue with a doctor

If you have an issue with a doctor, who do you report it to? Do they have panels that you can report their conduct to?

A doctor I retained and paid a substantial amount of money to conduct my surgery, cancelled the surgery (according to her she didn't feel right about it) this is within a week of a surgery that took us 6 months to plan. She refunded my money but retained some of it without giving me an itemization. The way I look at it she wasted both of our time by reneging on the surgery at the last minute (a week to the scheduled date). I just want to discuss this with some doctor panel. Do they have those?

Any information you provide would be helpful.

Dekalb Tech

Can anyone tell me anything about Dekalb Technical College? My partner has a general associates but wants to go back for an Associates in Applied Sciences in Accounting. We're close to Dekalb Tech and GPC but GPC seems priced a little high for a two year college (they charge what SPSU charges me for my Masters courses). Dekalb Tech also has that handy dandy quarter system.

Any input is appreciated.
