    I lived in Atlanta in the '80s, in a house on Confederate Ave. I recently tried to find that house (which was built in 1843, which was kind of cool) but I couldn’t. Turns out they renamed Confederate Ave., which is also kind of cool.

    The house was just a couple of blocks from Grant Park, and I always thought it was great that Atlanta had a park named after General Ulysses S Grant. Of course I’m an idiot and it was actually named after a different Grant.

      "Of course, I’m an idiot… "

      I don’t know how many times I’ve said that in my life… maybe because I’m an idiot.

      That’s okay, Ohio has a Hitler Park. And Hitler road. Different Hitler(s) though. Dr Gay Hitler, a prominent dentist and son of George Washington Hitler.

      Weird shit.

        Of course Hitler Park has a disc golf course! The one I found is Martha Hitler Park – Gay Hitler Park would be a bit too much to ask for.
