5:00 on Friday…

Posted by admin on July 9, 2008

Work is done, and it is time for the weekend…

You walk out of the office, and hop in the car.  Driving home takes all of 10 minutes… and you get to park in the cool shade under the building.

5:10pm… you are home.
Run in, kick back for a minute.  Twitter a few friends… (they’re still in traffic trying to get out to the burbs…)

5:18pm… time for a dip.
Toss on a swim suit, grab a towel and flip flops…  Head out for the pool.  Atlanta is hot.  The pool is cool.  What could be better than sitting next to the pool after a quick dip.  Twitter your friends again… (they’re still in that traffic…)

6:30pm… ok, gotta get ready.
You are having dinner with a couple of those friends that JUST got home.  Reservations at Straits at 7:30.

7:20pm… it is a beautiful night.
And it is a short walk.  No valet.  No hunting for a parking spot.  No cab.  Just a short stroll to the restaurant.

7:30pm… it is SO nice not  to be rushed.
Your friends arrive.  They look harried.  They have been constantly running since you all took off from the office.  You rested a bit, swam and took a nice walk.  They drove in traffic, changed and drove in traffic some more.

End of the evening… and it is only a short walk home.
Whether you stayed at Straits, or any of the other fabulous restaurants in this area of Midtown, or went to one of the great clubs on Peachtree near 10th, you are almost home.  You will be sleeping restfully while your friends are still driving to Alpharetta… or Lawrenceville… or Decatur… or Marietta.

Intown living has its advantages…
