the south. *The view their part of the world as perfect, and miss out on

I guess there are northern hicks and southern hicks.

I've been to Atlanta any number of times, and sometimes stayed for a
couple of weeks, on business. The town just plain sucks. The only part
of Georgia I'd consider as a residence is the area between Savannah and
the Tybee Islands, or possibly the Sea Islands area, or, in South
Carolina, Hilton Head or its environs.

In addition to everything else it doesn't have to offer, Atlanta is
about 240 miles from the coast.

Y-A-W-N. As I have stated here on more than one occasion, I don't like
Atlanta. I feed no need to justify my feeling. Further, it serves no
purpose for me to list all the reasons. I've given a couple from time to
time, that piece I swiped and reposted earlier today gave a few more
reasons, and, of course, as I stated, it is 240 miles from the coast.

The fact that a brainless, tasteless, useless idiot like you *likes*
Atlanta is just another reason to dislike it.

You shouldn't feel slighted, though. There is *nothing* I like about
Alabama, Mississippi, or Texas. There are at least areas of Georgia I
find pleasing. :)

Atlanta is composed mostly of one way streets. The only way to get out
of downtown Atlanta is to turn around and start over when you reach
Greenville, South Carolina.

Never had a problem with that, as I don't get off I-75.
I always time it so I'm going through about daybreak, or 1 pm.
That's the widest interstate I've seen. Must be a dozen lanes in some
places. Have to do about 80mph to keep from getting run down, and
I've done 90 with cars passing me.
Georgia's done a pretty nice job with the highways.

I've driven on Atlanta's interstates, but not because I was going
through Atlanta to somewhere else. Unfortunately, I-95 along the East
Coast, the main north-south highway, isn't well-maintained or kept up to
standards.

That's the difference between you and Harry, Vic. If you don't know
much about an area, you don't knock it. Harry does so in ignorance
constantly. Georgia has some of the best roadways in the U.S.

Gosh, it is *so* easy to push your start button and initiate the flow of
bile and stupidity.

I don't live in Atlanta because it sucks. I've never wanted to live in
Atlanta. I don't give a damn if you come up with 10,000 reasons why
*you* think it is great. Your reasons are not relevant to me.

Oh. I've never claimed I know "all about" Atlanta. I don't, and I don't
care to know. I don't even like to fly through its airport and when I
have to take a flight with "connections," I try to work it so I don't
have to transfer flights there.

Sounds like a New Yorker but folks from DC seem to think that is the
center of the universe too. When I moved away it shocked everyone I
knew. Their idea of moving away is to go a little farther up Rockville
Pike but my former inlaws have 3 generations living on South Dakota
Avenue. They bought more houses as the family got bigger but still
have the first one.

BTW I spent a lot of time in Atlanta (Mostly up near the 75
intersection with the beltway). It is pretty much like DC IMHO. There
are a lot of things in common.


I live here. DC has a lot of free stuff, and is a great place to visit.
But, I'll be leaving as soon as we sell the house. Next spring it goes on
the market.

My dad was like that. He took one trip to Cape Breton when he was in his
30s (mom's home town of St. Peter's)
and that was it until I started taking him on drives. Trouble is..he always
wanted to be back home that night.
When they finally built the Confederation Bridge linking Prince Edward
Island with New brunswick, we took him, mom and the mother-in-law
on a neat trip... drove from the city to the PEI ferry near Pictou, covered
a good bit of the island including Cavendish (Anne of Green Gables),
and returned via the Confederation bridge & New Brunswick...all in one day.
So he got to travel in three provinces....first time he was ever out of Nova
Scotia.

But, I'll be leaving as soon as we sell the house. Next spring it goes on
the market.


Most people who live there never go see the "free" stuff. I know
people who have been there all their life, never went up in the
monument, never really walked around the Smithsonian and never saw the
fireworks. I went to high school in the 1700 block of G st NW so I did
get a pretty good look around (cheap "field trips" for the school) but
I had still never been to Mt Vernon until my wife dragged me there on
a vacation from Florida. I had seen it from across the river tho ...
does that count?


Mount Vernon's not free any more, and hasn't been for many years.

We hit the free stuff a lot because of visitors. The Smithsonians take up
at least a week, especially with the new one out at Dulles airport. If
you've not seen it, that's a nice one. It's also 'free', but parking costs
about $8, so take a car full.

Next December go on the evening tour of Mount Vernon. You need to get
tickets ahead of time but, it is well worth it.

Sounds like a New Yorker but folks from DC seem to think that is the
center of the universe too. When I moved away it shocked everyone I
knew. Their idea of moving away is to go a little farther up Rockville
Pike but my former inlaws have 3 generations living on South Dakota
Avenue. They bought more houses as the family got bigger but still
have the first one.

Gosh, it is *so* easy to push your start button and initiate the flow of

I don't live in Atlanta because it sucks. I've never wanted to live in
Atlanta. I don't give a damn if you come up with 10,000 reasons why
*you* think it is great. Your reasons are not relevant to me.


But you've not given a single reason why you think it's so bad! Well,
except for a comedian's sketch that's been around for years, and is
full of false information just to be funny.

Oh. I've never claimed I know "all about" Atlanta. I don't, and I don't
care to know. I don't even like to fly through its airport and when I
have to take a flight with "connections," I try to work it so I don't
have to transfer flights there.- Hide quoted text -

I actually like both Atlanta and DC, they are two completely different
cities.

But then again, I enjoy NYC and Boston. Talk about cities with two
completely different personalities.
