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.

Yeah, well Marietta in Cobb County as ALWAYS tried to set itself above, away and removed from Atlanta. That goes back many, many years ago. Possible during the two cities foundings. Atlanta first, then Marietta. Atlanta fell to the Union troops during the Civil War. Marietta sustained a little damage. Also, Marietta has better marble and granite quarries as well as farmland. 100 years ago the land was cheap and the homesteading/sharecropping was better in Marietta than Atlanta.
Then in mid-1950's major industrialization occurs with Coca Cola opening its huge plant, middle class families in Sweet Auburn and Inman Park. Slowly, corporate moves started taking place.
Safety and development moved in different directions in Atlanta. Marietta never kept up since the Olympics like other high end areas of the country (Like in Dallas--Park Cities Bubble and Las Colinas or Los Angeles, O.C. San Clemente-San Diego County Del Mar-Rancho Santa Fe and Seattle Mercer Island, Eastside).
The high end places in ATL became Austell, Stone Mountain, Lithonia, Conyers, some places near Augusta, making an access corridors from the oceans and Florida then from the North from New England and Midwest from Chicago. I-20 from the West is brought to Texas first... Hayle, my family has property in Sandersville, GA... I have ZERO idea what direction that is...
Very few native ATLians consider Marietta part of ATL. Marietta has ALWAYS been its OWN town and has demanded it so... Hey, when I was there--20 years ago, Cobb County was still having cross burnings somewhere every week.

I guess things have changed in recent years. I wouldn't consider Austell, Stone Mountain, etc. to be high end but I would consider East Cobb (Marietta) to be very, very high end.
People have been moving back in town over the years so, in my personal opinion, the high end places have become Midtown, Buckhead, Vinings which are all Atlanta addresses.
