Some Velvet Morning
2007-07-07 19:20:00 Oh, my poor, neglected blog. Sorry, guy, didn't mean to hurt you. It's been a weirdly busy week, and now that I'm on my weekend, it's all about doing absolutely nothing -- my torpor is such that I honestly meant to write this at about 10 a.m. (hence the lame title), but it's now 1:30, and I can't think of a new title so that one stays.Accomplishments for the weekend: remember Bubla's horseradish vodka? There's now a jar of vodka steeping with onions and Bulgarian hot peppers in the kitchen. Should be ready in a couple days. And, yeah, that's my sole accomplishment for the last two days (other than getting the living room a little bit clean). I meant to write something of substance, but that'll come later. I feel more like a nap now. More About: Morning , Velvet , Some
All I've Got is a Photograph
2007-07-03 17:31:00 Two days back at work and my mental state can best be described as "detached." I have nothing to say. So instead, I offer up more photos of abandonment, some of the 36,000 I've taken in the past couple weeks.Cass, Georgia. Did I say Georgia doesn't have motels like this? I stand corrected. This is along the old Dixie Highway, the same road of my occasional interest. People who told me "you have to get away from Atlanta to see interesting things along the Dixie" were absolutely right.What's left of the above motel. It was actually wide open and just waiting for me to go wander around ... but there were about three cop cars hovering in the immediate vicinity, obviously bored in sleepy Cass, and just waiting for some jackass to go traipsing where he obviously shouldn't. The motel's obviously been abandoned for some years -- a little bit odd, because it's right off a main road, and it's right next to what was probably another motel once upon a time, and is now nice little apartme...

Randomness, Redux
2007-07-01 23:04:00 I made it back alive, barely. Going from 75 degrees and a light breeze in Colorado to torrential thunderstorms and 93 degrees here was ... not so fun. Now, I'm back at work, and clicking "refresh" every 15 seconds on NHL UFA stuff. Whee. Why do vacations go so fast?* * *A couple notes: spurred on by Brushback, the PPA is now the official sponsor of Tomas Kloucek's page at Eurohockey.net. I'm perhaps a little too proud of this.And, Tapeleg at JAHL has not only posted an Armenian vodka bottle that looks like a goalie, but also a photo of me with Czechvar. Good times, good times. Let me promise everyone that despite appearances, I really was sober enough to drive that night. And also second his exhortation to buy me beer if you're ever in Atlanta. He is right on.I've got about 36,000 photos of things to post -- that'll happen in coming days. More About: Randomness , Redu
Roggen
2007-06-28 16:45:00 My friend Vitriola took me on a tour of Eastern Colorado yesterday -- little communities that I'd never heard of, despite growing up here. Ault, Pierce, Keenesburg, all towns I never knew existed.And then there was Roggen, which seems to be teetering on the brink of ghost town status.Located at the intersection of Interstate 76 and (Weld) County Road 73, Roggen looks like it was, at one time, a stop-off for commuters. This wasn't the only abandoned motel......except it wasn't totally abandoned (note child, lower left). There were signs that parts of the motel were still inhabited. There were signs up advertising rooms for rent, though I can't imagine the building is very safe. There weren't many signs of life in the town. Two working businesses that we could see (a grain elevator and a gas station), and other than that, only a smattering of children around the two defunct motels. A church, which indicated it still held services. Well-kept flowers outside one building. Life appe...
The Five Beers You Drink In Heaven
2007-06-28 03:59:00 Being back here in the land of great beer (tm), I've been guzzling the stuff 'til I'm sloshing around. I come back to the land of the most fit people on earth, and get less fit. Hardly my intention.Three of my favorite beers are not available back in Atlanta, and are here -- so I've been taking advantage. So after a long day of exploring eastern Colorado (photos and details tomorrow) and then drinking one of those three great beers, I present: The Five Beers I Will Drink In Heaven , If Heaven Exists (I'm Not Sure), and If I Make It In If It Does ExistFat Tire. The beer that taught me about good beer. The old favorite. The Tomas Kloucek of beers. There was some discussion of going to the New Belgium Brewery on this trip -- didn't happen, but someday. And someday they'll start shipping the stuff out to Atlanta.Czechvar. Legal battles prevent this from being available in Georgia. Stupid lawyers.

Way Down Broadway
2007-06-27 00:30:00 I've had occasion to go down to Denver twice in the last two days, both times to the utterly awesome Sobo 151. Today, I went down a bit early, to cruise Denver's South Broad way area and shoot photos of a bunch of similarly utterly awesome signs. There's a bunch of shots that will trickle out in the next few days, as I'm motivated to resize them and upload them. For the moment, here's a few great old-timey motel signs. You don't see signs like this much anymore, and don't at all in Atlanta. I love 'em. If I (for some reason) was in the South Broadway area and needed lodging, I'd stop in just on the basis of these signs, even if the motels attached don't seem to promise much in the way of amenities.Note for the sticklers: I used Photoshop and cranked up the saturation on these, first to make up for cloudy day/bad lighting on the Red Pine sign (which still is rather dim), then because the garishness sort of fit. It's not something I plan to do often, so you can rest assured ...
The Atlanta Airport Hates Problem Drinkers
2007-06-24 16:33:00 (alt. title: "TG for TGI Friday's")Flew to Colorado yesterday, and as has become customary because I'm an idiot, I assumed that there would be about a four-hour security delay at Hartsfield-Jackson Shitty Airport . So when I got through security in (the usual) 20 minutes or so, with only one security person berating me, I had nothing to do but sit around. So, as you'd expect, I went hunting for a drink. Sure, it was 10:30 am, but I was on vacation, so don't judge me, dammit.Good freaking luck -- in the Delta (main) terminal at Hartsfield, one bar has closed down (it's going to be replaced by a Sweetwater brewpub, which will be great, but I exist in the here and now, and the prospect of a future brewpub puts me no closer to a drink now), and just about all the other dining options are Sbarro's or Popeye's Chicken. Both of which, I'm sure, have their uses, but drinking ain't one.I finally found the aforementioned TGI Friday's, kind of tucked away. The bar, I noted with some s...

Query
2007-06-21 21:12:00 This is a pretty long shot, and basically relies on someone with the knowledge I seek stumbling upon this post. Probably it's a backwards way of doing this -- I should hunt around for an appropriate message board -- but I'm kinda lazy, and a Google search isn't giving me joy.Anyway: I'm looking for someone with a knowledge of the history of road/traffic signs (and yes, this sentence is here solely for Google purposes). Some years ago, I read something discussing pre-standardization road signs in America. It indicated that in the early days of automobiles, signs were often random -- for instance, a stop sign might have an upraised hand to indicate "halt," or something completely different.It's a subject I'm (for a variety of reasons) kind of interested in reading more on -- but I don't know where I found that first reference, years back.

Travels With Kapu?ci?ski
2007-06-19 03:16:00 #29 -- "Travels With Herodotus" by Ryszard Kapu?ci?skiIt's been a busy few posthumous months for ol' Ryszard -- a new book (his final, I'd presume) is out, and he's been outed as a spy (about which more anon). Considerably more than I've accomplished, and I'm still alive."Travels With Herodotus" reads like a coda, a closing -- one suspects that he intended it to be his last book regardless. It's a smattering of tales and anecdotes from his travels over the decades, paralleled by his reading and re-reading of the "Histories" of Herodotus.Tough as this is for me to say about one of my favorites -- ok, one of my idols -- it's pretty uneven. There's some good spots, and some very inspiring lines. There's also some pieces that just fall flat (his first visit to China -- all the observations are surprisingly cliche), and sometimes it depends far too much on the readings of Herodotus. I understand the device, but it's overused.It's still not bad, and I'm certainly glad we got ... More About: Books
Abandoned Churches of Atlanta, June Edition
2007-06-17 18:31:00 Drove past this down on Memorial Drive today -- an odd little building, that looks as if perhaps it was originally a gas station or fast-food restaurant (I'm guessing that because I don't think I've ever seen a church with a pay phone so prominently displayed out front). The congregation has apparently moved down the road a bit. The building is up for rent, if anyone feels energetic.Bonus Sunday stuff:The Towne Cinema has (apparently) been used for other things besides movies since the '70s (though any solid info is really hard to find), but in a move that's catered to dorks like me, they've kept the awesome sign.Doing a Lexis-Nexis search on the property indicates that it's been used as a restaurant, music club, dance studio, and martial arts place -- just within the last five years or so. At any rate, they're doing a good job of keeping it up.It's located in Avondale Estates, an odd little place that I don't know much about. A stretch of buildings is done up in Tudor Rev...

A Taste of Somalia
2007-06-16 21:46:00 Weird people you meet in bars dept.: last night at Atkins Park I ended up seated next to stereotypical golf guy, a polo-shirted jackass who divided his time between screaming invective and advice at the television, broadcasting whatever big golf tournament is going on right now. He started talking to the room at large about how he was on the "Hooters Tour" in 1998, and lots of other too-loud stupidity about baseball and frat-guy topics. It was like being trapped in an elevator with Bill Simmons (except I could have left). When the tournament went off, he got flat-out weird, playing Johnny Cash's "Cocaine Blues" on the jukebox and singing along lustily to each line that involved killing the wife -- punctuating each by shouting "bitch!" Ladies, I get the feeling this guy might be single!Atlanta is surrounded by tiny ill-defined communities, constantly overlapping so that I don't have any fixed idea where they are.

Moving Targets
2007-06-14 21:44:00 Technically, it's named the "Atlanta Book Exchange," but most people I know are unaware that's the name -- they just know it as "Books," for reasons made clear by the signs above. It's something of an icon, both for me and others. For me, because it was one of the first places I gravitated (along with Manuel's Tavern) when I first moved here. For the community at large, because it's been there for more than 30 years, something of an eternity in my neighborhood (the only places I can think of that have been around longer: Manuel's again and Atkins Park). I've been meaning to write about the ABE/Books for a while, because -- in a lifetime of spending way too much time and money in used bookstores -- it's one of the few that stands out for me. (the others: Book Worm and now-defunct Stage House II in Boulder; Second Story Books in DC; and some place in St. Louis that I guess didn't really stand out that much, because I don't remember the name.)

The Road Goes On Forever
2007-06-12 21:28:00 #28 -- "On Foot to the Golden Horn" by Jason GoodwinLately I've been dreaming of some undefined period in the future, after I quit my current job (not in the offing, I assure you) -- I'd like to, Patrick Leigh Fermor-style, take some months and walk across Europe. The imagined route varies -- sometimes it's just the Balkans, sometimes cutting through Central Europe, sometimes an ambitious trek from Greece to Norway or vice versa.Goodwin actually did such a thing, as opposed to just muttering to his friends about how he was gonna do it someday. What's more, he did it at a particularly interesting time, strolling with his girlfriend and another friend from Poland to Istanbul as Communism was in freefall. When it concentrates on the travel, and the people encountered along the way, "On Foot to the Golden Horn" is quite good. Unfortunately the first half or so labors under one of my pet peeves -- repeated descriptions of tensions among the travelers, particularly the third-wheel fri...

Kryptonite
2007-06-09 23:50:00 It's become pretty apparent recently that Jagermeister is my own personal Kryptonite (robs me of super powers, results in near-death experiences, etc). A couple times recently, I've ended up with blackguards buying me late-night shots of the stuff, and it always has the same effect -- I'm not really functional until at least 2 pm the next day. No Jagermeister, mild hangovers -- yes Jagermeister, pray for death the next day.* * *I'm closing off four days away from work now. After this, it's two weeks until Colorado -- then three (I think) weeks 'til five days off, and then a month until the trip to London.This seems to be a pretty good adaptive mechanism. Break up the vacation so that I'm off a day or two every month or so. Unfortunately, after the August trip, I only have one week off through the end of the year. The wheels will presumably come off then. More About: Toni
Searching for Answers That I'll Never Find
2007-06-06 18:35:00 Proving, I guess, that I'm a slow learner, I set out again this morning to travel along a stretch of the Dixie Highway. Multiple wrong turns, unexpected street name changes, and intersections that appear on no map later, I packed it in. A few thoughts from the trip:1) If I ever again tell myself that I don't need to plan out a route on one of these journeys, someone punch me in the head.2) I honestly thought, on the first day of a mini-vacation, that driving around metro Atlanta would be restful. Again, hit me.3) All the mania for renaming streets in this city, and no one sees fit to rename one of the three Marietta Street/Road/Boulevards?4) The last of those, Marietta Boulevard, may be the foulest-smelling place in the city, thanks to all sorts of industrial work. There's a big sign advertising a new housing community nearby -- keep the windows closed!And most seriously, 5) I think my motivation behind driving the Dixie to find a remnant of the way things were before interstates...

2007-06-05 17:36:00 I've been pretty homesick lately, really jonesing for Boulder -- the sky, the air, the general sense of peace. I go back in about three weeks, and it's obviously long overdue -- I haven't been this wistful about the place in a while.Adding to that sense of Boulder-as-paradise: the city managing to piss off a whole bunch of people by allowing a frank discussion of sex and STDs and such. If you buy into that old saw about knowing someone by their enemies, a city could do worse than to draw the condemnation of the Bill O'Reillys and Michelle Malkins of the world. Go Boulder!
Old School
2007-06-04 16:52:00 #27 -- "The Iron Gate of Illyria" by Torgny SommeliusPossibly the most obscure book on my shelf, this was referenced in a Dervla Murphy travelogue that I read some years back. It's a 1950s (I think) account of the (Swedish) author's journey through Yugoslavia, a few years after that country broke from Moscow.It's pretty joyful and lively. Sommelius reminds me quite a bit of Patrick Leigh Fermor, both in the happiness of his writing, and his improvisational method of travel (he went through Yugoslavia on the way to India, then ended up ditching the India idea and staying in Yugoslavia for months on end). The book is very much coast-oriented, and who can really blame him? The section on Dubrovnik made me want to head back immediately.It appears this is the only book of his ever translated into English -- too bad. He has/had a pretty good style.

Land of the Lost
2007-06-01 22:16:00 Woke up with a hangover -- thanks for the Jameson shot, Fidel! -- but in a change of pace, didn't handle it in my normal way (putting pillow over head, ignoring need to get out of bed, weeping) and sweated the damn thing out. Yeah, that's right. I'm Ernest Hemingway here.I've long sort of known of an abandoned water works covered by foliage somewhere around town, but until recently didn't bother to look it up. When I did, surprise surprise -- it's in a park, and seemed completely accessible. So this morning, I trooped out to Mason Mill Park to see the old Decatur Water Works.And ... it's not so easily accessible. Mason Mill is a mixed-use park -- I figured it was just hiking trails and such, but there's tennis courts, a senior center, etc. The trails themselves are something of an afterthought, and not well marked -- and the one map I found was kind of inaccurate.After a couple tries, I found the trail I wanted -- had to leave the park, go down a dead-end road, head through ...

Quickies
2007-05-30 03:11:00 Two quick reviews. Then, perhaps, silence -- this is shaping up to be a heavy-hitting week and I probably will not have much.#25 -- "Blind Willow Sleeping Woman" by Haruki Murakamiand#26 -- "Navigations" by Ted KerasoteTwo books, both nice, both curiously unsatisfying. I'm much more of a fan of Murakami's novels than his short fiction -- something that probably holds true for most authors, for that matter -- but I was still surprised at how unenthusiastic I was about this. The pieces are generally kind of light. They seem more like abandoned ideas for novels than self-contained pieces -- it's like trying to fashion a hearty meal out of a selection of hors d'oeuvres. Some were pretty good, but others I forgot as soon as I started the next piece.Kerasote: Even if I hadn't known he lived in Colorado, I would have pegged this as a Colorado book -- in both good and bad ways. Good in the appreciation for nature, the desire to go against the grain -- bad in the occasional wide-eyed di...
Getting to Know the Concrete
2007-05-28 17:53:00 I think I boiled my insides yesterday -- after the morning smoke cleared, I went to Jazzfest (This is Atlanta, not N.O.) and sat out in the sun, with a belly full of beer and wearing heavy jeans and a black shirt. Take it from me, kids, don't do that. You don't feel so great later on.Today, to clear my head, I took a stroll along Edgewood Avenue -- one of Atlanta's more interesting streets, one that's undergoing a bit of a renaissance in parts -- and suited to my interests, one that has a bucketload of ghost signs.When I first moved here, Edgewood was the definition of sketchy -- now, well, some parts still are, but others seem pretty vibrant and healthy. Art studios popping up, multiple places to eat, and parts are pretty peaceful and/or pretty.This isn't technically a ghost sign -- the Atlanta Belting Company is still in existence, and has been (as signs inform us) since James L.

Smoked Out
2007-05-27 17:37:00 Several times in the last week or so, I've awakened to the smell of smoke -- the first morning, half-awake, I was convinced a nearby bar was burning down (a friend said "you worried that it was a bar before worrying that it might be your house?). Thankfully, no -- it's winds pushing smoke from the south Georgia wildfires up here.It's not entirely unpleasant at first -- it's not too heavy, and actually just brings a nice barbeque to mind. But the gauzy haze blotting out the sun is a little ominous, and after walking for a bit, you can feel your heart and lungs laboring.And completely illogically, there's a bit of fear -- though I know better, on some level, there's a sense that the fire is getting closer, and in just a couple days will be tearing through south Atlanta.

I Was a Crap-Ass Music Reviewer
2007-05-26 16:16:00 Not long ago, I was discussing my previous life as a music/book reviewer, and someone said "Aw, man, you must have loved that! Free CDs, free books, free shows..." While I'll cop to loving the free stuff, I responded -- unexpectedly and weakly -- "well, I wasn't very good at it."I've never actually acknowledged that, but I'm afraid, yeah, it's true. I have a smorgasbord of embarassing memories related to reviewing music -- asking Unsane how their drummer's death affected the band's chemistry, reviews that showcased a wholesale lack of musical knowledge, pointless and meandering interviews. The reasons, as far as I can tell, are these:1) Lack of context. I can't stress enough just what a dogmatic weirdo I was throughout high school and college -- between my sophomore year of high school and graduation from college, I pretty much refused to purchase anything on a major label.

2007-05-25 22:32:00 Recovering from last night, I went into a panic when I couldn't find my wallet this morning. Not in any of the usual places, not in the jeans on top of the laundry pile. Went back to the bar, they didn't have it -- and needless to say, memories are rather fuzzy of the end to the festivities.I was all set to cancel all my cards, when I noticed something a bit odd: the shirt I was wearing last night appeared to be missing. While I may have been a bit nutty, I was pretty sure I came home wearing a shirt. I checked again -- lo and behold, I'd been looking in the wrong jeans.

Add to that the hockey jerseys, plus the fact that I have a blog, and, well...But I'm a lot less outward about it than I used to be.

I'm Seeing Ghosts
2007-05-23 18:07:00 Going hand-in-hand with the fascination with decay, I love old ghost signs, remnants of long-forgotten businesses. It's that feeling that something is creeping through from the past, that not everything was quite quashed when the old companies went under. And they were obviously intended to be permanent. Newer businesses have crappy transitory plastic signs -- when these old signs were created, they were made by someone who intended them to last forever.I started photographing them some years back, motivated by the awesome Forgotten NY site (which has a recent gallery of old signs up here). I've never put many up on the blog, for whatever reason -- partly, perhaps, because I haven't found that many in Atlanta -- and by the time I started this thing, I'd photographed most that I've seen.

What's Left Behind
2007-05-18 18:46:00 Along Moreland Avenue, at the tail end of Little Five Points, there's a big vacant lot, with the remnants of a building foundation in the middle. Nothing particularly different than dozens of places around Atlanta, but unusually, the tile floors shown above are still there.The tile was divided into three sections, and I'm presuming it was a bathroom (there's holes that would seem to match up to fixtures, now overgrown with weeds). The floors are a bit richer aquamarine than you can see up there.No clue what the building once was -- there hasn't been anything there as long as I can remember (though I probably didn't walk along Moreland much before last year). A gas station would be my best bet, since there's something filled in where pumps may have been -- but it's not as obvious as some other defunct stations around town.
