I lived there up until 2 years ago when I moved to so.cal. One thing they forgot to mention is that in summer it's 95 degrees with 131259% humidity. In the winter it's like 20 degrees.

You can't go anywhere fun with your friends without driving at least 30 minutes.

People not only give you directions based on Peachtree street, they look at you like an idiot when you don't really get their backward ass directions.

i SAID it wouldnt be funny for those who had never lived here, its so funny to me b/c its so silly but its SO true, and we have the WORST traffic in the nation for i dont even know how many years running now - part of that problem is noone carpools, everyone must have thier "own" car, but god i LOVE THIS CITY!

hehe so true on the sweet tea thing...i was appalled they dont have it ouside the south!!

I'm from Peachtree City, and live off of Peachtree Parkway. My subdivision is lined with Bradford pear trees. That always confused me.

haha, maybe. I don't get what the funny part was. I read "The airport is big, there's a lot of smog, traffic sucks, blah blah."

My brother lives in atlanta and I've been there many times. That stuff is all true!

And I like how you can drive down one street and all of a sudden you are on another street without turning [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

You got that part correct. But it's also not very funny even to those of us who have lived there.

Traffic sucks here if you live north, northeast or northwest. But there are always ways around it - like flex hours.

The road I live on changes names at a traffic light for no apparent reason - and only goes on for another 1/4 mile.

It is hot, humid and sticky in the summer, but you will never complain about it again if you ever go to New Orleans in the summer.

The wife works at Coke, so I can't even drink Gatorade, grrrrrr. Unless I am in Tunica, then I live off of Gatorade.

I have been to a lot of airports, and though it gets crowded, Hartsfield is a lot better off than most. Ever tried to get through O'Hare in a hurry? Good luck.

The pollen here is horrendous. I am moving to Arizona someday, or maybe Vegas.
