AOM

So I'm in my senior year of college (woot woot)...and I've joined a new student ministry properly known as the Atlanta Outreach Ministry...every Friday night (leave TFC at 5 and return at 12/1ish in the am) we take a 15 passenger van down to ATL and split into two groups. One group heads to Little 5 Points and another to the Underground.

Little 5 Points is an area heavily populated with the 'original' types...lots of shops dedicated to art/clubs/bars/reggae/tatoos/Africa/pizza. Apparantly the best pizza in ATL is at L5P. Also...it's home too street kids/street artists/homeless/transients/friday night hangout spot for the counter-culture/sub-culturally aware.

Underground is a mall type place...underground...whoa! okay. Many shops and booth type things selling watches/bling/crocs/liscence plates/jewelry/etc. Most of the booths are operated by immigrant workers from Nepal/Africa/India/etc. We stay there until about 830ish and then head to the park outside which is a huge homeless hangout place.

We head back to the van around 10 and then stop at the QuickTrip halfway back to TFC (it's about an hour and a half or so drive depending on traffic) for slushies/slurpies/coffee/taquitos/breadsticks/bathroom/etc. it's pretty much the best gas station in the world.

So there's a description of what the AOM is.

the next post is all about my first 2 weeks...
