O, To Be Young Stupid and Southern

Though Atlanta is no Yoknapatawpha County and these kids are no Quentin Compsons incarnate, their rollerblading adventure through this shut-fer-the-season waterpark in Atlanta, can only burnish the myth of the ATL as a home of badasses. The waterpark, White Water in Marietta, is almost as fun open. Aw, who are we kidding? The waterpark, White Water in Maiertta, is nowhere near as fun open but a lot less dangerous. ATL is in the middle of a full thrust to change its image including last year's search for a new theme song, dubbed, The ATL which now comes in three flavors of suck: R&B, Blues and Symphonic.
