Anne Arundel General Hospital, which would abbreviate as AAGH. I always found that to be an amusing hospital name.

That's truly a good acronym, though not as good as the First United Church of Kelowna, which used to monogram F.U.C.K. on their special event napkins. They eventually, er, saw the light and changed their name to Kelowna's First United Church.

This reminds me of when I first went to my doctor. During the first visit I had to fill out some paperwork. Well, the office uses codenames for their patients. They usually take the first three letters of your last name and the first two letters of your first name. Well, how embarrassed was I when the receptionist announced that my codename is BITCH. :?

EP's pratically the projects, right? I remember taking my then-girlfriend on a brief tour of EP while on a trip home from school. We thought it novelty to see Outkast's old stomping grounds since Southernplayalistic... happened to be in the tape deck. Made a brief pitstop at the filling station right before we were mugged at gunpoint by two misfits outside the Texaco station. Fortunately, I was a student and had nothing but drugs & music in the car. They couldn't sniff out the shwag, so they took my Slick Rick, JBs, and Marvin Gaye cds instead. Little did they know Slayer's 'Reign in Blood' was in the MG case ... and that I'd just layed cable in my new skivvies.

Ain't no thang but a chicken-wang ...

Hmm, sorta, East Point and College Park used to be the preeminent south suburbs of Atlanta. My dad is from College Park and says that during the 50's and 60's it was basically like Peachtree City or any other suburb.

In the 70's the white-flight thing happened first in the city, then moved its way outward. The construction of the airport also wiped out about half of C.P. which caused alot of folks to "have" to get the fuck out.
These areas for sure got rougher (if you mean blacker? i'm not sure), but they have always maintained some pretty nice, old school neighborhoods where a lot of old white and black folks kept there streets up and maintained the identity that kept them from following the herd in the first place.

Since the late 90's this and most of Atlanta has been completely reinvested and is now home to middle class white and black yuppies and lots and lots of gaylords (butty-men if you will)

So to answer your question, East Point has never been close to the roughest part of ATL. Some places you may not wanna go, but I've bought beer at that Texaco (if you are talking about the one right on the main drag) at 4:00 am, payed my two-beer tax to the homeboys on the sidewalk and hustled my ass back to my homeboy's house who used to live down the street.

Sorry you got jacked shawty; at least you have your health.

That's the Texaco! Shit, had I known a toll had to be paid, I would've easily obliged. With or without a .38 snubnose right in my mug. Like I said, they made off with very little, but they still shook me up right. And it made for a good story in whitebread Buckhill or Buckcherry or wherever my friends were living at the time.

Home to such visionaries as Marla Maples (Trump's ex), Deborah Norville (Inside Edition & Jane Pauley's one time arch nemesis), and former NFL punter Jim Arnold

and the gateway for some great camping/mountainbiking, too.
I always got the Deliverance tune in my head while camping up there, though.
