Atlanta in the 90's

Does anyone remember The Cove ? the kudzoo behind the cove ? the tracks behind the kudzoo ? I remember meeting a former Mr. Australia near the tracks.

Does anyone remember the old Morningside Chase Apt.s ? I used to live there. Remember the mailboxes ? Dutch Valley ? I didn't realize these were going to be referred to as the good ole days.

Does anyone remember these places ?

Who could forget the Cove? I remember leaving there around 12 noon walking out to blinding daylight and asking my lover, where did you park the car? and him saying I didnt drive you did! We shrugged and said oh well lets walk home. We lived in Ansley Forrest and got home to find the car there. I never made it to the kudzoo out back but had some fun times inside. I never even knew the laundry room of Ansley Forrest Apts was a hot spot at night either. Those were THE DAYS!

Time flies and things definitely change. Who would have thought there would come a time that you couldn't go out on Sunday Night or stay out later than 2:30 or 3:00 on Fir. and Sat. Nights. My advice to anyone who's really having a good time somewhere right now, is to cherish it like it will be gone tomorrow, because it probably will. I have very fond memories of the Cove back in the 80's and into the 90's. It was the first club I ever went in, that by the time I left, the sun was already up and shining.

Had many great times at the Cove and in the Kudzu, Tracks, etc. No place to go like that now... but there's still fun to be had around and about... just takes a little more detective work than it used to.

I hear ya bonerbud, maybe sometime I'll run into somebody like you who can tell me where some of these new places are. When you just come into town for a weekend every now and then, you just don't have the time for much detective work.

As long as we're going down "memory lane", does anyone remember the trails in Piedmont Park? Or the other 24 hour bar on Cheshire Bridge. It had many names over the years, Numbers, Magic Garden, The Saint.

Or how about Cypress St. It was loaded with hustlers. I never paid for any dick but found plenty of it there. There was an endless stream of horny guys driving up and down that street.

fuckin A, I remember all that fun in the trails around Piedmont Park. And the Magic Garden/Saint was a full on blast. Damn all this sexy nostalgia is makin my dick perk up...

As long as we're traversing down memory lane, does anyone remember both the After Dark and the Downunder bookstores. I remember having the best sex there and only paid $.25. Of course that was only because the guy at the front desk didn't go around banging on the booth doors making you drop in more money. Had my boner sucked many, many times, and I certainly got on my knees a time or two.

You're goin way back but I remember both of them. That was before the long dry spell when Atlanta had no bookstores at all.

Wish there were palces to go now to get cocks like those you 2 are showing! NICE

You guys are gonna make me cry. Those are the sweetest cock and whore stories. I almost bought a condo back in Morningside Chase now called something else...we could have resurrected the mailboxes again.

I still miss Backstreets. When will the pain end ? LOL

You guys are predating the 90s, I think.

I remember the two bookstores, one of which was bombed at one point. There were no bookstores in the city for years during the reign of a Hinson McAuliffe, the Fulton County solictor. He hated all sex venues, especially gay ones, and closed every booksore in the city in the late '70s.

That former Mr. Australia is still around, Avondale Guy.

As for the Cove, my strangest memory of the place was how "Uncle Ray" would set out a platter of crustless, white-bread sandwiches after midnight. Then there was the time I turned over the juke box trying to retrieve a $20 bill thrown at me after I threatened to kick the ass of of a drug dealer who sold me phony reeefer.
