Yesterday I had to go downtown for business. Here in Coweta County, when you use the word “downtown,” it is assumed that you mean the beautiful historic square in the heart of Newnan.
But my trip took me away from rural Coweta County to the big city of Atlanta, the “Jewel of the South.”
I worked for over thirty years in downtown Atlanta, and made the long commute each and every day. I loved the excitement of the metropolis and all of the cultural amenities it had to offer.
It wasn’t always easy negotiating around town, but it was always an experience. There is something to see around every corner that excites the eye and stimulates the mind.
Yesterday brought back a lot of good memories about the place that used to be "my world!"
I miss the thrill of working in the city. Every day brought new challenges and memorable experiences.
But I sure don’t miss the 45 mile commute!
