NeNe is from the housewives show. I haven't seen it myself, but those are the two things people ask me about when the ask about Atlanta. "Seen T.I. or NeNe?" Recently in a customer meeting we got some Honey Boo Boo references, though. ugh...

Oh, okay, thanks. I haven't seen much of the housewife show either -- it seemed like a bunch of women screaming at each other. I guess I need to tune into Honey Boo Boo as well and catch up on my pop culture references.

Ansley, I will fight it as long as I can.

By the way, I have a small confession to make. One of our dogs is named Boo, after Boo Radley in "To Kill a Mockingbird." She is an old girl and can't see or hear too much anymore but she is as sweet as pie.

Anyway, sometimes when she comes bumbling up to me and wants to be loved on I have been known to call her Honey Boo, and possibly even Honey Boo Boo. And that was way before any TV show. So I guess that makes me a big old hillbilly.

Not at all! In fact, you and old Boo should sue for trademark infringement!

I heard from a Tech student that one homeless person was carrying around a shotgun. The police never found him but there have been reports.

Sad. I hope downtown improves. It's a bad look. We have honey boo boo as it is we don't need to be known for the hoodrats of Atlanta on top of that.

Love hate situation with the state of Georgia.
Georgia Tech Campus is very safe.Rarely are there any major problems with crime on campus.Its off campus i Home Park mainly.I have never seen any homeless people on the campus at Tech.
GSU i different because the campus is woven into the cities urban fabric.Not saying there is not a problem with homelessness.
