Ouch that's pretty pricey. I guess I know why so many people are moving to
Atlanta. I have a 3bed/2 bath 1800sq ft home for about $680 a month. I live
about 25 miles from my office in Atlanta, closer I get of course the price
goes up. But I'm only 10 miles away from the Georgia LEGO Outlet store, and 5
miles from Lake Lanier.
So you'd think I have more money for LEGO, but somehow my wife doesn't seem to
agree.
