Atlan’a, Hotlanta, A-Town, ATL
Call it what you want. I knew this place was home to a lotta rappers and entertainment thugs, but this place is GANGSTA.
And I stayed downtown, which is nothing short of Hillbrow or Sunnyside. I stayed in the cheapest dodgiest place, the Super 8 MOTEL, subsequently renamed to the Super 8 Hotel. Checked in late Friday night, the chick is like, “\"Its $10 a hour – you look like a two-dollar-fiddy kinda brotha". It was a decent place to stay, if you would just ignore the stains caused by various ejaculate, abortion after spew, shotgun suicide and other general leakiness derived from the human body.
Okay, it wasn’t that bad. Until the 3am shooting outside my window early Sunday morn - nothing to wake you like three caps in the night. Rushed to the window to see a hysterical girl, and people running in all directions. Like, I said, this place is GANGSTA.
Cops were on the scene and pursuit within a minute, which is amazing. Ambulances took a lil longer, but I grandpa’d off before they arrived. Forgive me for my insensitive-ness, but I’m Safrican, shootings come and go without me batting an eyelid {yawn}.
Downtown. Don’t be fooled, I'm only showing you the good pics. I was too afraid to whip out my camera in the presence of the gangstas.
This must be the longest escalor to the underground, the trip must take over a minute. Click to enlarge.
