Roxx 3I headed out to Cheshire Bridge Road, the most eclectic road in Atlanta. food_grazing2-1_07MagnumIt has strip joints, great restaurants, Cheshire Motor Inn, tobacco stores, gay bars, DUI Schools and one of my favorite comfort food spots, Roxx Tavern. 9008227We are freezing in Atlanta, I realize it is colder up North, but, we are spoiled and not used to this. To warm up quickly I ordered one of these. Roxx 4It was delicious. I ordered a cup of the soup special Cheesy Cheddar Broccoli soup Roxx 1It wash’t as smooth and creamy as I would have liked. It was good, but not great (should have ordered the fries, they are great). So I ordered the Turkey Burger, this is the BEST Turkey burger in town. Roxx 2They have so many great things on their menu. Their special today was blackened chicken fettucini alfredo? Yummy. I should try it next Thursday.

Erk RussellThis is Erk Russell, the greatest coach in Georgia History, my opinion, of course. Oh and that’s me, in college.

I was a photographic assistant in college and got to go to a lot of fund raisers, this man was an amazing speaker. He was also one of the kindest people I have ever met.

He was an assistant coach at University of Georgia and then Head Coach at Georgia Southern College, and that is where we met. He was a great man!
