"Northerner rules"

[GTAlphaPhi]

Sorry TKEmz894, but you're wrong about both Coca-Cola and Delta.

The aviation company that started out what was to become Delta Airlines, Huff Daland Dusters, was founded in Macon, GA, moved to Monroe, LA, and then moved back to Atlanta, GA.

The first Coca-Cola recipe was invented in Columbus, GA, and the first sales were in Atlanta, GA (also the headquarters of Coke ever since).

Google and Wikipedia are your friends.

History of Delta Airlines (Wikipedia)
Delta Through the Decades (Delta Airlines, via Google)

History of Coca-Cola (Wikipedia sub-article)
Coca-Cola History (The Coca-Cola Company)

As an Atlantan, born, raised and educated (and the child of two employees of the Coca-Cola Company), I had to set the record straight!

But of course I agree that the South is awesome!
