The intertwining stories of Thumbs Up Diner and Crescent Moon in Decatur take some untangling to fathom. But people are passionate about their neighborhood breakfast places. Wesley McConnell (left) explains.
Also, I plumb forgot to draw any attention to last week’s column in which I examine the truths and overuses of the phrase “ladies who lunch” and recall being dragged by my mother to the department store tearoom.

Really…if you want good biscuits you need to go to Pastries A Go Go! When we lived in Decatur that was our #1 biscuit spot! We live in east Cobb and every once in a while make the trek back to Pastries…it is that good…The staff are all very friendly, service is fast and the eggs benedict on Sunday’s is to die for.
