A beacon of blight

I don’t know about you guys, but I am totally mesmerized by the Coke sign at Five Points. I want to take a million photos of it every time I see it, especially on days such as today.

Speaking of, oh dear god I missed the most unbelievable photo op. On Monday I witnessed the carnage of the Georgia Tech victory over UGA on the lawns of all the fraternity houses. There was your garden variety of discarded bottles and cans of repulsive domestic swill, crushed plastic cups, and a junk sofa spray painted “TO HELL WITH GEORGIA.” I guess the pledges were too hungover to clean up before class.

But! nestled in the grass of one frat house, amidst typical post-game day litter, was the door to an Easy Bake Oven. The celebration got so frenzied and out of hand on Saturday that it literally blew the door off of some frat boy’s Easy Bake Oven.

I feel lame that I have to describe this in words. I hate myself for not documenting, because by Tuesday all the yards were tidied up. I will just have to go to my grave with this image seared in my mind.
