5 Feet of Fury

‘If you’re visiting Atlanta and aren’t looking to be shot in the face…’

writes Jim Goad:

“…swarmed by smack dealers, stopped by cops merely for being white, or set ablaze by an HIV-positive crackhead squatter, stay away from the area known as ‘The Bluff.’ There are several more wholesome attractions only a few blocks southwest in downtown: At tourist traps such as the World of Coca-Cola, the CNN Studio, and the Georgia Aquarium, the thrills are more benign than being slit in the throat with a box-cutter.”
