I am happy for the Braves but as far as I am concerned you could give Atlanta to Alabama

Maybe we can thank Delta from picking Atlanta over Birmingham for it’s hub city

I wish a nuke would be dropped on Atlanta and Macon. These two towns are the armpits of our great state. The rest of the state is awesome, with awesome people.

There's an interesting true story behind why Birmingham is NOT Atlanta, and why Atl. is NOT B'ham.

What is the story? Was Georgia’s governor just a little less corrupt than Alabama’s?

I lived in Statesboro for two years. Podunk towns like Swainsboro and Metter I definitely agree.

But they also have Augusta and Savannah.

And Coke and Home Depot and Southern Company and Georgia Pacific and UPS and Westrock and Porsche and Philips and....I could go on.

Atlanta is the economic engine of this state.

Every state has small towns, though. That's a great area of the state by the way. An hour to the coast, couple hours to some of the best lakes in the state, great hunting and fishing, just 3 hours you can be in the mountains.

Exactly. Atlanta is the necessary (Is it really though?) evil the rest of the State endures.



It's the economic engine of the entire state.We'd be worse
than Mississippi w/out and UGA
would be Southern Miss or worse.

You think all those fortune 500 companies have HQ in Metro
Atl because it's a "shite hole?"

Atlanta is easily the worst major city in the country. Frick that place and god bless general Sherman.

No. They’re in Atlanta because the states Republican leadership has made the state attractive for business and because of Hartsfield.

I'm assuming you don't consider Memphis, Detroit and Baltimore major cities....
