Re: “There”
I was surprised to see a Restaurant in Town Sembler, not far from me win Creative Loafing's best under the radar award. True there are some good restaurants in Brookhaven on Dresden and in this Sembler development.
The location of There is also different since it sits across the street from the Costco. And its almost a 2 worlds collide situation since the otherwise decent pedestrian amenities are seemingly walled off from the Costco - the sidewalks don't even turn into the LARGE Costco/Marshalls parking lot.
But no matter, There is in the ground floor of a residential mid rise and connected by nice sidewalks to the rest of the pedestrian oriented Town Brookhaven development. The dining area is good, its not a big place and it is casual and comfortable.
But more importantly as stated above, the menu is great. I've eaten there twice and the cook has come out both times. The Oysters as an appetizer were great, as were the string beans as a side. I also really liked the Ahi Sandwich. I have not tried the Bison Burger yet. The grass fed burger is great especially if you get it with Blue Cheese as their Blue Cheese is Maytag Blue Cheese and the taste of the grass fed burger with the tastier Maytag Blue Cheese is great. The guacamole dip is also very tasty. I've tried the Skirt Stake and liked it but not as much as the Burger or the Mahi Sandwich.

Re: “Protesters blast state's higher-ed policies limiting undocumented students' access to college”
Stupid Liberal, the reason for instate tuition is theoretically to give those who have been paying Georgia Taxes benefit from the Georgia funding of the schools. In Georgia it only takes 12 months to establish residency to secure the lower instate tuition rate.
so you got undocumented kids whose families have been living here for over 10 years paying the sales taxes, buying the lottery tickets, paying property taxes through rent or mortgages, supporting businesses that pay taxes, and paying income taxes unless their employer is breaking law and paying off the books.
They are paying Georgia taxes so they should get the in state rate.
The reasoning for instate tuition to get more college educated people in Georgia applies to these students also.
Re: “Kicking my Coke habit”
Once I gave up Soda I lost all desire for it. And now the really obesity danger of High Fructose Corn Syrup makes me glad I did. But when I gave it up it was more a calculus for where I wanted to allocate my calories. Beer and food. Otherwise water with lunch and through out the day is what satisfies me now. a twist of lemon makes it full of flavor to my now recalibrated taste buds.
And yea the Kroger on Buford Highway at Clairmont sells 6 packs of the Mexican coke in their latin section. I call BS on the linked article for to quickly dismissing the effects of shifting atom ratios and how they are bound.
Re: “Another reason to hate those metal plates on Atlanta's roads”
That car better get checked for frame damage or I guess these days its unibody damage aka damage to the " the unibody vehicle's integral floor pan" It may never be able to hold an alignment correctly again.

Re: “Police chase, possible explosive package shut down I-75 in both directions”
You always hear people say, once I was stuck on MARTA for 2 hours (which btw I doubt greatly) so I'm never taking it again. So are all of these folks who were stuck on I 75 for 2 hours going to say the same?
Re: “Another Atlanta broadcaster arrested for DUI. Let's make an example of her”
When I was young it was .10 not .08. But its become an overly politicized offense. And actually they say just talking on a cell phone is as dangerous as texting - even if its hands free - actually perhaps more so since people get false complacency.
And to make matters worse the county's let these scam websites download the pictures and data and then tie it to your name on google and offer to remove it if you pay them. Which of course does nothing because they operate several other websites even if they do take it off of one.
There's a DUI quota out there, the police aren't removing dangerous drivers they are meeting quota.
Re: “U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson: 'Imagine a world without balloons'”
At least they aren't Tom Price.
Re: “U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson: 'Imagine a world without balloons'”
Who wrote that for him? His point is very valid and the article linked in the article is extremely frustrating to read (re: useless federal programs that can't be killed). But Hank Johnson's attempt to humorously make his point are just pathetic, and he should know that with our heavily edited soundbite world only the lines about balloons will rise to the airwaves and thus he will once again look Batsh*t crazy.
And his delivery of it? Wow. I almost felt like as he read it he was pausing because he was trying to figure out if someone was playing an anchorman joke on him.
Did Will Ferrell take a break from filming Anchorman 2 and intercept that speech from Hank's district office? ...... And I'm Hank Johnson, Go F*ck yourself Atlanta!
Ron Burgundy will read everything on teleprompter?
