Ya whats that mean? and really? If anything i feel like there should be less black people in ATL now between gentrification and the suburbs having more affordable housing.
Nah.
don't you remember the IOC scandals around that time? Salt Lake City only got the games because they were paying their Olympic fee's in hookers.
I bet the Atlanta committee had the voters up at Magic City.

i was 9
i remember being in memphis when they ran the torch through earlier in the summer
then i went to visit my family in atlanta for 2 weeks for the olympics. saw a lot of stuff you didn't have to pay to see (bikes, longer runs, outdoor events).
does anyone else remember that blue mascot they had? those things were EVERYWHERE. i remember it on shirts, hats, stuff animals, posters, all sorts of stuff.
the fountains were fun too, i spent a lot of time there
i was downtown with family the night the bomb went off, we heard the low rumble, but we weren't near it.
also, recently i remember hearing a rumor that they stuck all the homeless on greyhounds and sent them to other cities (chattanooga, knoxville, birmingham) right before the olympics to clean up the city really quick. which is hilarious.
