In a hurry for lunch and sick of pizza, burgers, or burritos? We compared four fast-casual falafel spots to see who offered the better quick lunch.

Well, one thing you conclude watching the PR extravaganza that is "Atlanta: A Visual Postcard," is that everyone had really long attention spans back in the day. Who'd sit through fifteen minutes of chamber of commerce fluff today? Yeah, I thought so.
