All roads
leave away from The Big Chicken.
Whenever I
am giving local directions to someone relatively new to Marietta I first need to base the direction on something they already know
of. Some big landmark.
I always
ask, "Do you know where The Big Chicken is?" Most of the time they do. Then I build on their knowledge they already
have and go from there.
If you are
reading this I probably have your attention.
While I am in your face I would like to give you educate you on the Cobb
County street numbering system you might
not know.
Every street
or road in Cobb County has one end of it is closer to Cobb County Court House
than the other end. The end closer to
the court house will have the smaller numbers and as you progress away from the
courthouse the numbers will get bigger.
And the odd numbers will be on
the left traveling away from the court house and the even numbers on the right.
Take for
instance The Big Chicken. It's address
is 100 North Cobb Parkway. If there was
a business across the parkway from The Big Chicken it would probably be
numbered 101. Up North Cobb Parkway a few blocks, on the
left, across from White Water Amusement
park is a little office park and its
number is 189. See? And on the right several more blocks on the
right is J.T. Walker School with the number 700. See?
However,
what many people don't know is Cobb Parkway is/are two roads.
Back at the
Big Chicken again, if you go south you will be on a road named South Cobb
Parkway, with the odd and even numbers directly
opposite than just one block north.
Why? Because you are on a
different road,.... or if you don't understand that, understand this: JUST BECAUSE!
THAT IS WHY!
