Ask Weirsdo: Ritz Crackers III

Diamonelle likes to fly off to fantasy land herself, from time to time.

RBUD was confused about which Atlanta Ritz we stayed at. He thought it was the downtown Ritz. I think that may have had only four stars when we first started going, and besides, it's not near the shopping. Now it has five, I see, and since the other Ritz' dining room closed, its only advantage is its location. The Buckhead Ritz is on the corner of Peachtree and Lenox Road, so it is across the street from both the Lenox Mall and Phipps Plaza. Of course there are many things to do in downtown Atlanta, but when we go to the Ritz we usually just want to relax and not be overscheduled. Also, we are familiar with the Buckhead one now and have fond memories of it.
The first time we stayed there was before we were married, for Dr. Weirsdo's birthday. I gave him a big box full of nothing but a note at the bottom telling him to pack his things. Unfortunately his Corvette (the one before the new red one) was in the shop, so we took my beat up Chevy, parked it at my parents' apartment a couple blocks up on Lenox Road, and walked to the Ritz, which surprised the doormen. We had a great time, and it was just what Dr. Weirsdo wanted.
