Texting while Walking PSA created by Atlanta filmmakers spoofs Texting while Driving.

Texting While Walking - PSA

A little over a moth ago I posted a graphic public service announcement that was created in England on the dangers of Texting while Driving. Today I present the spoof (attempting to be even more graphic) which was created here in Atlanta and is called Texting while Walking. If you haven't seen the original, I recommend you see that prior to watching the spoof.

Please don't think that I am taking the topic lightly, I'm not; I just saw this as another opportunity to raise the issue. If you need further information on the topic, I encourage you to read the distracted driver information compiled by U.S. DOT Secretary Ray LaHood.

Finally if the DOT information doesn't make you change your habits, maybe this actual story of a texting while walking mishap will. Don't let it happen to you.

Luigi's Pizza offers a $5.99 Large, 1 topping pizza through the month of October.

The south east corner of Dunwoody was in dire need of a good pizza place because coming from Chicago the run of the mill chain places just weren't cutting it for me. Since I'm not close to Mellow Mushroom in the Village nor Dagwood's Pizza on Spalding; the typical pizza in the Heneghan household was relegated to a chain store pizza usually ordered for only for the kids and a babysitter.

The Waffle House on the corner of North Peachtree Road and Cotillion (behind the BP gas station at I-285) closed several months ago and in it's place today opened Luigi's Pizzeria & the Philly Connection. On the way home from my son's football game we stopped by to pick up a menu but when I saw the introductory offer of a Large, 14 inch, one topping pizza which usually sells for $13.60 reduced to only $5.99, I couldn't refuse to try one to take home. Luigi's pizza was very good and it will be replacing the other locations that we have used for take home or delivery pizza. That being said, my sit down pizza meals will still be at either Mellow Mushroom or Dagwood's.

In talking to Luigi's manager I was told that this special introductory $5.99 offer is only available for dine in or carry out and will be offered through the month of October. The Philly Connection side of the house is also offering a 7 inch cheese stake with fries for only $5.99. If you live in the area, please check out it out as I personally see it as a nice change from the other neighborhood pizza joints. In case there are better pizza places out there that I have missed, please drop me a line. Thanks.

PS: in case anyone from the FTC is reading this, I have not received any free pizza in exchange for this post though I did receive a pretty good pizza at a great price. Thanks for asking.
