There is Atlanta Georgia and then there is the REST of Georgia...

That is how it's always been told to me when visiting....heh...

This clown knew what he was doing...matter of fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he got the idea from Rush Limbaugh's flap a few months earlier:

Wants to be a suburb of Atlanta... Conyers and Lithonia are better Suburbs or Atlanta--Hayle Tucker is a better suburb of Atlanta. LOL

I was just out in Marietta a week ago. No--like Daemon said... It is the rest of Georgia as far as what I saw. Maybe a few more sign than 20 years ago... Still the rest of Georgia...

I forget and get all turn around, Marietta's north of Atlanta--Conyers is either east or south of Atlanta?

At any rate, I have family that lives throughout and is concentrated in, near are around Atlanta. Part of my upbringing is West End ATL--unforgettable... And lately, we did not get to Stone Mountain this go round...

So, no--Marietta might become a suburb one day. But that group in Cobb county has been resistant for YEARS--so this man's antics do not surprise me. After seeing Marietta and the signs to old family homesteads to Canton and Nelson, Georgia--(yes on the front of the sign is says "Welcome to Nelson" and on the back of the sign is says "Thank you for staying!")... 20 years and no change? I dunno?

Hayle I didn't even recognize Buckhead when I was out there last week. We had to us our GPS to tell us where to go. And Phipps Plaza is all different, now! And South Dekalb Mall--what a rundown place that is now... Wow!!!

It's like that Samurai Jack episode...

EAST. LIKE WAY EAST. IN FACT, I THINK MARIETTA IS CLOSER TO ATLANTA THAN LITHONIA/STONE MOUNTAIN. AND MARIETTA (AT LEAST THE PLACES THAT I KNOW OF) HAS HIGHER HOME VALUES THAN EITHER AREA.
