re: Georgia is the best state in the South.

Quite the opposite, in fact.

Georgia is Mississippi + Atlanta. Sadly, Atlantans don't even claim the rest of the state.

The roads look like Chernobyl. Travel up ALT27/85 to Atlanta and you feel like you've traveled back in time to the 1920s. Waverly Hall, Woodbury, Gay, Cusseta, Upatoi, Brooks, Lumpkin, Hogansville, Warm Springs, Manchester, Hamilton, Haralson, Ellerslie, Cataula, etc. are all podunk wastelands filled with tomato stands, heroin hostels, boarded up gas stations that shut down in the 70s and trailer shacks with tiny fenced in yards decorated with goats and chickens (consistent with 95% of the state). Columbus, Macon and Augusta essentially look like towns and not cities (similar to most of the "cities" in Mississippi). No civilian has any reason to visit those towns pretending to be cities with the exception of Augusta simply for the Master's. Even most of fricking Alabama and Louisiana's largest cities at least have a city look and feel to them. Savannah is a royal shithole that blames its antiquated and dilapidated appearance on "cUlTuRe". And of course, the beaches look like the polluted shores of Somalia. Then there's the other 95% of the state (see the aforementioned ALT27/85 location descriptions).

The need for small dick, narrow minded Georgians to constantly sound off about the state's "greatness" is a serious red flag. It's little man's syndrome. I guarantee you I've seen more of Georgia in a year than you have in a lifetime and you're either trolling bigly or suffering delusions of grandeur. The only advantage you have over most other deep south states is Atlanta. It's just too bad Atlantans reject the rest of the state.

If you want to get an inside look at Georgia without visiting, simply turn on The Walking Dead. Every post-apocalyptic, backwoods location they film at is classic Georgia.

This is why you NEVER hear outsiders say "I'm going to Georgia". Instead it's, "I'm going to Atlanta".
