Hmmm… really weird
I had a really late lunch today, around 1:30pm. At that point, I wasn’t even sure where I wanted to eat, so I just started driving around. I ended up at the Fellini’s on Ponce De Leon. For anyone who cares, I had their italian sausage pizza, and it was really good.
But onto the actual story… when I left the restaurant around 2:15, there were a bunch of motorcycle cops blocking off intersections along the road. There were probably about 10 motorcycle cops in all. That’s not the odd part, because they do this whenever there’s a funeral procession for a significant person, or if there’s a campaigning politician or something.
So I was sitting in traffic, waiting for the big procession to go past. Finally I see it inching along Ponce, probably going about 10mph. When it finally got past me, I saw what it was… just some dude on a bicycle. Additionally, he was being flanked by three cop cars and one of those fire department SUVs.
He wasn’t in good shape, so I know he’s not a professional cyclist… and he didn’t look familiar, so he must not be famous. I’m not sure what to think of this. I did a quick search on AJC.com, but nothing came up there either, so I’m stumped.
It’s got to be something special though, because I know I wouldn’t get a dozen police escorts if I decided to start riding a bike down Ponce. I wouldn’t even get a dozen police showing up once I got shot near Ponce & Boulevard.
Anyway, really weird.
so it was good that i traded my italian sausage with your meatball pizza last time. in fact, i had felini’s today at that one on ponce, but i only saw bunch of uninteresting people.
