Surely as we drive into Greensboro at 2:30am on a Friday night, the city will be relatively quite... Yes, I expect the clubs to be letting out but traffic be no problem right? WRONG!

Even knowing as I did that the A&T homecomming was that night I did not fathom the chaos we found in the wee hours. It was like the Aggies won the Superbowl and every single student that ever attented came for the home game. And I'm talking about both living AND dead.

Never in my life have I seen four lanes of traffic blocked because of lines going to fast food drive throughs on both sides of the road. McDonalds, had a drive through line that spiraled around the building twice before spilling onto summit. The two lines of walk up at CookOut, was as long as the two lines of cars. The only fast food place dark was Sonic and the carhops had errected a barricade that they were cowering behind.

Friendly Avenue, from all of the honking and yelling, and walking around looked like a riot zone and the poor officers who were trying to keep the traffic moving needed riot gear.

A friend of mine from Maimi who had also witnessed this event said, "It was like a Maimi riot!"

UNCG never threw a homecomming like that! (Would the city survive if they did!)

Finally we made it to the freshly restored depot and that was a treat! What a way to start a five hour train ride!

It iis now 1:51pm. It feels to me like 9pm, with bonus daylight. I just had some of the most fabulous chinese food I have ever had and all I can think about is how much I need to just shut up, let you know I made it to DC happy and in one piece. Now I may sleep....

Who knows, maybe when I wake up the Million Man March will be over.

Good night...err...afternoon...
