[Sca-cooks] Squid Ink in Atlanta?

[kattratt]

Ok that answered my earlier question....
That'll teach me to read all the way down eh?
Ok now keep in mind that this is directions Nichola style and for that I 
apologize....

Take I-385 to Buford Hwy... Now it gets tricky....
Turn Right and drive up 2 blocks. (The store should be on your left at 
about 1 block.)
If you didn't see the store then turn around go back towards I-385, go 
under the bridge and Now you should see the store.  (Once again on your 
left.)  No the store doesn't move I just never remember which way to 
turn. (Sorry!!!)

There are two buildings for this store the one on the right is for 
wholesale the one on the left is for retail.  They are seperated by a 
large parking lot, a street, and a closed down store that looks like an 
old Belks or Richs...
I thought the tanks at this store were clean as I could see through them.  

I agree about the Fish at the International Market BTW.  But the veggies 
are nice.  (I like the breads at the Buford Hwy store better though. )
