By The Way...
Since my return from Atlanta,
I’ve been meaning to tell you
about a most unusual place I ran
into down there. I .know many
Newberrians go over to Atlanta
for various reasons at frequent
intervals, and the thought of
something “different” there might
be welcomed . . .
On 271 Peters Street SW, there
is a little “hole-in-the-wall” call
ed “Remond’s Cafe.” It’s one of
those places in a not too nice sec
tion of town, where you wouldn’t
think of going unless you knew
about it—but it turned out to be
my favorite place to go in Atlan
ta—and the favorite of everyone
J. knew who had been there.
“Remond’s” is run by George
and Ruth Remond. George came
over from France a few years ago
and ended qp in Atlanta. The place
he now occupies is the only place
he could afford to rent and open
when he first went to Atlanta. If
he wished, he could now expand—
many of his . friend and- patrons
have urged him to do so; others,
like myself, feel that the charm of
“Remonds” would be lost in any
Other atmosphere. When you re- .
serve one of very few tables in Re
