The Georgian Terrace and the Religious Sister







This is the Georgian Terrace.  It is across Peachtree Street from the Fox Theater.  I took this picture in July 2005 just before we took  a tour of the Fox Theater.

The Georgian Terrace looks like a nice joint of dignity.  It looks like a place the upper crust of Atlanta would recommend friends to stay or have receptions, chamber concerts and whatever else those folks do instead of using their own homes.
When I think of the Georgian Terrace I think of the BUG.  The lottery numbers before the lottery was legal in Georgia.
Back when I was a Postal employee and worked all night I heard a lot of night-time radio.   I remember one  local radio show whose primary sponsor was Sister Grace*.

After listening to Sister Grace* it was easily to know she preached the gospel  She loved Jesus and all his disciples and she could quote them all to fit any occasion.  Listening to her more and you know she and God  and Jesus communicated.  They had regular talking sessions and they shared things with Sister Grace*.  Like thee number up the upcoming illegal lottery numbers. 

And being the Christian she was she was willing to share those numbers with you.  She was wise enough to not to mention the BUG by name, but after so many innuendos you would get the idea what she is trying to tell you.

All you had to do was go to a certain room at THE GEORGIAN TERRACE and have an audience with the good sister and she would share a number with you.   She would share with you if you would share with her, a small tithe donation, of cash was preferred.   She said it will be a number to bring you happiness and fulfill your dreams.  She also said, in so many vague words that it is not just a number, it is script number from the Bible. 

*actually, I forgot her name, it may or may not have been Grace.  But the first part was “Sister”, I remember that!
