not allowed

i remember when i first went to college and started driving though atlanta on a regular basis, a family member told me to avoid taking I-20 anywhere- in either direction, for any reason... so i've always been a little hesitant to travel that road. plus, if you ever listen to news in atl- the traffic and the shootings always seem to be on or just off of I-20. further confirming my rather irrational fear of that road...

lately- i have traveled NEAR and OVER I-20 on the west side of atl a lot on the way to a lovely horse farm that is out that way and am actually not so afraid anymore- although i still take back roads all the way.

THEN.... my friend sends me THIS on friday!!! the most hilarious, albeit worrisome facebook message that i have gotten in a while, (she was attending the same horse show that i was this weekend.)

"I'm ALONE in an indian run gangsta Sleep Inn that smells like rotten thai food"

turns out this hotel had a jacuzzi tub right out in the middle of the bedroom...not kidding.

and just WHERE was that hotel? thats right- just off of I-20. so my family member was right- just steer clear of I-20 and its gangsta stanky hotels and traffic- and jacuzzi tubs- and six flags- the tackiest place on earth.

above friend did in fact survive her stay at the Sleep Inn with the help of a little xanax- and probably a long hot soak in a jacuzzi tub while simultaneously enjoying an episode of law and order. (j/k)

so take our advice- I-20 is just not allowed.
