Re: Has your team eaten dinner at Hooters in Atlanta?

I've never been to Hooters in general, but I've definitely heard about the controversy. In Troy, they opened a new Hooters recently to supposedly replace the old location, and there was a lot of hoopla about it (even made national news!). Despite the fights to get drive Hooters out of Troy, now the old and new locations are both currently in business. So instead of now having one Hooters, there's two.

I think Hooters's reputation is a bit exaggerated, and supposedly it is considered to be a "family" restraunt, despite the questionably appropriate dress of the waitresses. My guess is some Hooters are more conservative than others, but I could be wrong.

If people are still weary about going to Hooters while in Atlanta, have the adults of the team check the place out beforehand to see if they find it appropriate for the high schoolers. If the adults say ixnay to Hooters, there's always The Varsity. (Went there last year with my team, and it was really good. Much cheaper than any food I'd get in Troy. )
