GCATT (Georgia Center for Advanced Telecommunication Technology), 
the building I work in, is different from the rest of the buildings on
campus. Well, it is somewhat far from the campus so that introduces a difference
therein. Apart from that, I don't think that Georgia Tech owns GCATT. Being in
GCATT is like being in a world of its own. We, the Network and Telecom Group
students are like stuck on a island.  But being there has its benefits as well.
There are some exquisite eateries near about, the likeness of which you will be
hard pressed to find.

I guess people in south have what they call, the "southern pride", so they take
pride in anything that is native to the southern culture. For example, something

The Cuban at Kool Corner

as trivial as "boiled peanuts", nothing special, it is just regular peanuts in
shell, boiled in salt water. Somewhat messy to eat, I enjoy this delicacy a lot.
Anyway, there is the cuban sandwich place near GCATT. Many people from around
get to this store for lunch. This sandwich place is located in a somewhat
rundown place but has an identity of its own. The benefactors are all cuban and
the old cuban gentleman that runs the shop is very jolly and funny. Apart from
all that, their sandwiches are *really* good.

Then there "Bob and June's Kountry Kitchen". I have never been there because I
strongly suspect is a predominantly meat serving place, but from outside it
looks very southern. Ah, I was forgetting about the "Silver Skillet". It
proclaims to be voted the best breakfast in Atlanta. Anyway, this place has been
there ever since 70's. The original owner, when he bought it, found the place
with an oldish look with many paintings all over the place. Rather than renovate
it and redecorate it, he decided to let the place keep its character. Now
southern waitresses serve in this restaurant. The food is good, but mind it, the
accent (of employees) is so thick (southern accent), it is hard to understand.
