DEL.ICIO.USWhat one word describes Fayetteville?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Summertime is the time to vacation for many folks and I’m no exception.
My family and I just returned this past weekend from nine days of travel that started in Boston where we ate at Boston’s oldest restaurant, the Union Oyster House. From there it was off to Cape Cod and a visit to Salem, which is fascinating even if you aren’t into witches, and then into New York to see “Lion King” on Broadway.
I truly hope I didn’t bore you with that abbreviated edition of my trip, but it was a wonderful time accompanied by spectacular weather.
That said, once we arrived home and drove down Ga. 85 in Fayetteville on Saturday afternoon, I was thrilled to be back in comfortable old Fayetteville.
I felt like I had been gone for months. So while everything looked the same in my hometown, I stretched my neck to see if anything had in fact been torn down, moved or closed.
Luckily, nothing changed and I was just simply glad to be home.
As we got closer to home I kept thinking of the people I met on my trip and how I told them where I lived and what it was like.
Some were interested and others not so much. But I thought if I could condense my opinion of Fayetteville into one word, the place I call home, what one word would I use? I decided homey. Yep, that’s the word that best describes Fayetteville for me.
What about you? If you could use only one word to describe where you live, what word would you use?

I don’t know how I would describe the city, but it is clear that the loyal bloggers are racist, elitist snobs. How else do you think cities and counties make money if just the people who lived in the city frequented the businesses? Small mind Sam, grow up. If the city is outgrowing you, put your sign in the yard and move on!Better yet, stop blogging negative comments! It’s people like you who give the city a bad name, not those Clayton tags.

Hey NorthStar…why don’t you keep the insults to yourself. You must be from Clayton. I don’t want the Clayton crime in MY hometown, and I don’t want my property values to plummet b/c of it. Shop at your own Wal-Mart… and try celebrating free speech instead of criticizing others for it!
