I thought we were doing Blanche during her time in Atlanta before moving to Miami?

[Maherjunkie]

I thought so too.  Admin, please clarify.

[FormerMod-a1]

Maherjunkie, I'd say that's for you to clarify/decide.  You picked the current topic here, with "Blanche next?"

[Maherjunkie]

Ok, let's stick with Georgia.  No offense to you Vanilla Bear, jump in.  That being said I am stumped for an L.
