Hey yall: Well my blog life would not be complete without giving my hometown of Tucker a shout out..Now don't get me wrong...I'm like just about 99% of Atlantians...I'm a transplant from somewhere else...lol....but here's why i think of myself as a hometown girl ....because I'm from right next door..none other than the world famous stronghold for the Civil Rights Movement, Birmingham! I love the "Magic City" as it's affectionately known...and since i grew up right next door, Atlanta is like my hometown too..my sis went to school here (all the students in the AU center and all the Clark-Atlanta grads stand up and give my sis Adrianne a Hi-Five!)....but since moving here I've made Tucker home...i love Tucker..it's like living in Mayberry RFD but with a big city flava...we are 2 steps from 85/285 and right around the corner from all the Hot Spots in Metro Atlanta...you see when you enter Tucker it's like a step back in time...it's laid back, relatively safe, EXCELLENT schools and the living is like i grew up..Everyone says hello when you walk in a business..and they remember your name...so enough of my gushing...if you want a home in Tucker soon I'll post about the best Real Estate Brokers in the area..lol....but on to the reason you logged on....recently i had a brainflash....there are so many wonderful neighborhoods around the area that ..Every so often i intend to post about neighborhoods that I love to hang out in...so without further ado..i bring you my picks for the hottest spots in Tucker to tantalize your taste buds:
