Fresh Loaf

Ron: Piedmont Park. The sun is there and there’s also lots of good-looking folks there. You can tan and meet people at the same time. But you have to maintain some decency. It is a public park, after all. I’m not in a bathing suit. Nobody wants to see a 68-year-old man in a bathing suit in Piedmont Park. And there’s a pool there so you can swim. At least it doesn’t have alligators.

.

Sarah: Bryson Square Apartments pool on 26th Street. You sneak in there, and it’s like spring break every weekend. Drinks everywhere. No one is reading. Everybody is socializing. Lots of good-looking girls. Everybody looks really cute in their bathing suits and everyone is super tanned. With the guys, lots of shaved chests. Let’s just say they’re spending a little bit too much time on their grooming.

.

Brian: I don’t have a bathing suit. I swim naked at my next-door neighbors’. They’re swingers. We do a little bit of work in their yard and they help us out. I don’t know what they get into because I never went to their parties, but I know they have big parties. I walk around naked at home. I was going to try out for the Coast Guard but it never panned out. I didn’t go as far as I wanted to in high school.

Oscar: Best is Little Five Points Pizza. It’s a melting pot of variety and culture ethnicity. There could be a guy sleeping inside a cardboard box 10 feet from you and a guy right next to him with a mohawk. Then you have Taco Mac in Virginia-Highland. Those people in the Highlands, let’s just say there’s not as much variety, and I hate all the televisions. It belongs in Marietta.

.

Rommel: Neighbors. The Highlands is always hopping. It has heavy foot traffic for Atlanta. They’re like the yuppies in New York, like the kids I went to school with. Bad outdoors is anywhere on Broad Street by Georgia State, like Michaels Deli. The food is good, but sitting out there is not. Random people start asking you for stuff and talk to you while you’re eating. They’re really abrasive.

.

Jena: Wahoo in Decatur. It’s like a magical fairyland. They have little tea lights everywhere, and the food is really good. It’s like a little oasis. The worst are all those restaurants on Ponce. There’s nothing to block the sun. There’s bugs and heat and all you can hear are traffic sounds. I love Fellini’s, but the one on Ponce is terrible. La Fonda is even worse because at least Fellini’s has the fountain.
