Flat Shoals

My favorite residence over my eighteen years of living, and tens of different houses living would have to be when I lived in Chapel Hill Community which was located on Flat Shoals Parkway in Decatur, Georgia. The community in itself was something I was used to over my many years growing up in the city. The best attribute of living on Flat Shoals was how close I was to so many of my friends. Due to the majority of children enrolled at my elementary school, Kittredge Magnet School, having lived at least twenty miles away, school was usually the only place you got to see your friends since you all scattered around the city.

The week I moved into Chapel Hill Community, I was visited by my old schoolmates Marcus and Brandon. We laughed, joked, and conversed about everything from girls, to fights in our younger days. They even told me who all lived close by, which totaled to about ten different people of whom I knew. I was astounded, having never lived around people I went to school with, and had known for so much time. I knew how great my stint on Flat Shoals would be, even though it had just started. Over the next two years, I enjoyed many late nights and early mornings, while also regretting many drunken parties and getting kicked out of my house. All in all, my move to Flat Shoals was by far the best move I ever made, and I regret to have left.
