I like that. If you go to some place like Kroger you've probably got no more 20-25 choices for extra virgin olive oils.

I went back to Krog Street Market yesterday and it was packed. Hopefully it will still be packed once PCM opens this spring

I haven't been to Avalon yet but people tell me it's really bumping and super nice. They've supposedly got an ice skating rink that is second only to the one at Rockefeller center.

What does that even mean? The ice skating rink at Rockefeller Center isn't all that good - it's the atmosphere and fame of the Rockefeller area at Christmas that makes it so famous. Otherwise, it's a fairly small and overly packed ice rink. Do you know if it is comparable to the one in Atlantic Station? I think that is one of the better ones in Atlanta, and is definitely one of the biggest. The one in Centennial Park is really nice as well.

Yeah sorry, I didn't mean for that to come off as it sounded. Just pointing out that Rockefeller's rink isn't all that great, so I didn't really understand where the comparison came from. Since that is probably a positive comparison though, what about the rink makes it great? Do you know what made it stand out? Just curious as a comparison to the others in the city. I have heard not too great things about Avalon, so wondering what some of the hype is all over the news and such about the development.

No problem at all, CCATL.

All I've heard is from a couple of people who've been there and were impressed by the setup and they had a good time at the ice rink. I didn't really drill down any further.

I literally LOL'ed at this because it kind of silly. Its actually a really small (I would estimate less than half the size of the one at Atlantic Station) so I also do not understand the comparison.
