I wish they would let you go get the drinks first, then ride the ferris wheel. A much more entertaining order IMO.

Its a great sports bar and the food is great.
My wife and I went some time last year, when they first opened. We were the only people in there. We sat and talked with all the employees and one of the owners all night, until the Hawks game finished, then the place filled up. Its the same people that own Sidebar.

that's a real nice toaster they filmed that on.

i'll have to get over there tonight to see how it looks— even with the poor quality video it looks pretty darned cool.

I don't know if I'm in the minority here or whatever, but Ferris wheels are so ugly when you look at a city's skyline. It seems way too "childish" for me and not very attractive. Hope it goes...

I like it. I think it's a fun attraction for families visiting Centennial Park. If a Ferris wheel isn't too childish for London, then I think Atlanta can keep its Ferris wheel.

That's the thing, other cities also have ferris wheels, not original. Plus, I think it looks ugly in London as well. Again, just my opinion.

Not original. So what do you propose? Is someone supposed to come up with an idea that nobody has ever imagined and expect it to be a positive addition to the city? And then nobody else is ever alowed to copy it elsewhere because then they're "not original"?

How bizarre can you get?
