yeah. I remember my days on the Marta and I remember the hospitality.

The funny thing about it, during my 5-yr tenure in college (i failed spanish, twice) I got used to being able to conversate with and/or greet strangers. Unfortunately, that hospitality does warrant much of anything on the Green Line these days.

I see kids I went to high school with and they will just walk by, eye contact and all. For example, I bought some earrings for my old lady a month ago. The cashier was a girl I had history with, we even did a presentation together. I got the look of familiarity from her but she totally did not say anything until I said, "Didnt we go to high school together". All of a sudden it comes back to her and she opens up. She looked hella good back then, but not so much now (Not that I am a regular Richard Gere or nothing). People in the south hold that type of familiarity dear.
