I remember the beef cellar well. And a little place right around the corner called Steverinos. One Eyed Jacks downtown, penny beer night at the Mad Hatter in underground. Three for one at Travelors...if you haven't finished your bevi, just grab a go cup on top of the cig machine on the way out. Buckhead Saloon was a happening place. Good ol Days flower pot sandwiches and a pitcher of beer....dang I miss the Good ol Days!

I think it was an apartment complex off of Akers Mill road not too far from River Bend apartments. I remember going to a couple of rugby parties there. They had a wooden slope covered with astro turf and little round plastic balls for snow. Can't think of the name of the place though. Reminds me of the polo fields off of columns road off of Johnson Ferry which was one of the fields Old White and the Renegades played some of their matches. Shoot I remember when the Johnson Ferry bridge over the river was one lane and Parkaire Mall was an airport. Dang I am old...

My sister worked at Steverinos for years

The old ski slope was in Vinings overlook. Almost at 285 if memory serves. You skied on plastic bbs
