Let's talk about Atlanta

[karoaper]

Hey everybody!

Just wanted to drop by to say Hi. I'll be moving to Atlanta in July and would like to know if anyone here knows of Armenian-related activities or events in the Atlanta area. Evidently, there is an Armenian church there. Is there an Atlanta Armenians Association?

Cheers all!

Couldn’t you find a more racist state (Georgia) to go to? I have been to Savanna and Atlanta………….great party towns especially on St Patrick’s day which they dye everything green (including the river) and party in the streets till morning.

My experience was that minorities are somewhat oppressed there still considered "Deep South" (blacks look afraid to talk to you and most live in government housings). Don’t know about any Armenian communities but I wouldn’t want to live there, not that there is prejudice against Armenians or anything like that (I had no trouble for the month I was there) but the life style doesn’t fit Armenians with no Hye stores to buy our goodies.

Just because they still drive around sporting the confederate flag doesn't mean they're racist....

Re: Let's talk about Atlanta

i think my mom has some distant relative in Atlanta, or maybe Alabama, I'm not really sure

There's the Armenian Church of Atlanta

http://www.armenianchurchofatlanta.org/

and then there's the Armenian Apostolic Church of Greater Atlanta, which i couldn't find a web site for

(c/o 250 Spring Street, Suite 6W119, Atlanta, GA 30303
Chairperson: Mr. Sarkis Agasarkisian
Tel: (404) 688-9200 / 816-0554)

but chances are that if there are 2 armo churches, there's a decent sized armo population.
