Okay, so Richie and I took Tuesday the 23rd to go peek around the Emory area to see what it was all about. On the way we encountered Darth Building, pictured here. Can you find it?
Next we looked very cool. Can you find the pictures of us looking very cool?
Then we swung by Emory's campus and peeked around the inside of the deserted School of Medicine. Almost deserted, that is. There was one solitary student studying in one of the lounges, sipping soup as he pored over a book. I felt a little badly for him, but I was a little bit jealous also.
The SOM is absolutely beautiful inside and out. I couldn't believe how nicely the school has catered to the needs of students: lockers with names on them, two fridges and a full kitchen...there are amazing labs and facilities I couldn't go into, but I know they didn't play when they built that building.
Then we went on foot to the apartment complex we found online. It's about a 20-minute walk from the med school. It's called Emory Woods and the online reviews say it's great for the money (cheap!) but it has roaches (blech!). So we decided to take a look. The fact that EW was built in the fifties means that they didn't skimp on windows. The place had a homey, run-down feel. It's surrounded by some of the nicest neighborhoods in Atlanta and is populated mainly by Emory students.
Foremost, it feeds to an excellent school, Fernbank Elementary School . We stopped by and gave its playground a test drive. The girls loved it. There are no photos because it was so stinking cold the day we went we practically froze to death so we didn't think of preserving the moment in pictures.
That's all! Over and out!
