The song I’m bathing in today is “Cabbagetown” by Shawn Mullins. Why? For starters Shawn Mullins is from my state, and Cabbagetown has historical significance for someone like me…an Atlantan.
Cabbagetown is a particular section of Atlanta….you can read about it here…the neighborhood website has everything you would want to know about it.
