Amazing - It used to be SOP for Atlantans to go out on December 31 and
fire their favorite pop gun into the midnight sky. Sounds like all
those yankee transplants finally managed to "civilize" 'em. Next,

Friend of mine used to work for Coca-cola as a graphic designer in
their building on the edge of East LA. Cool building, looks like a
ship.

The roof was the open air lunch area.

On Cinco de Mayo, Coke forbid their employees from going out on the
roof, and swept up the slugs that fell from the sky the next morning.
