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."

It's all true. I'm 18 and have lived in Metro Atlanta area all my life.

You will literally hear radio and TV advertisements that say "such and such as 1 mile south of the big chicken"

Pepsi does not exist, except at Taco Bell

If you have allergies, don't come here. Seriously.

Plus, our road system is one of the worst ever. There are no grid systems, just lots of winding roads that change names every two miles. A mapquest nightmate.

And every other road is named Peachtree.

Ya ain't lived life until ya used directions that include The Big Chicken at least once.

I agree that the soda of Atlanta is Coke, but everyone knows the true drink of Atlanta is SWEET TEA! It ain't sweet unless it rots ya teeth.

I actually loved every minute I lived there, traffic included.

I once had a roommate from Atlanta who would go through a about gallon of coke a day. I hope that mother f*cker loses his teeth by age 40.

It does suck. Horribly. I've driven in LA, DC, Houston, Dallas, and Chicago.

Nothing compares to the giant festering boil that is Atlanta traffic.

I'm convinced it's because of two things:

1) shoddy roadway design.

2) Atlanta is a transient city, tons of people have moved here in the last 10 years. Regionally, people drive differently. They all mix together here.

Combine 1 and 2 with a healthy fear of rain and icy conditions and you have Atlanta.

Not to mention almost 5 million assholes driving on the roads these days.

I live in NY, its pretty bad here. Not to mention that even if I did live in a place with traffic that didn't measure up I wouldn't think that bad traffic was particularly humorus.
