I hope you’re moving into one of those newly incorporated cities that escaped Atlanta.

Don’t take your New York accent with you.

Finally, after years of dreaming, we've finally moving from New Yorkistan to America (the outskirts of Atlanta, to be exactly)

(1) Be sure you come by way of Ellis Island...take a good look @ the Statue of Liberty;

(2) Well, on the other hand, it's possible we're already WAY OVER 'QUOTA' on allowing New Yorkistan illegals across our borders.

Just a couple of tips when you move down here.......

1) We pull off to the side of the road (and remove hats) for funeral processions. You pull back on the road if you see the last car with headlights on or the last police car following.

2) If we know the deceased or their family members....we take food to the home. A lot of times it’s ‘home cooked’ (like a casserole they can freeze and use later) but, recently, store-bought things are OK. Barbeque that you pick up at a restaurant is always a winner.......but, be advised. EVERYBODY does that....’cause it’s easy.

Then there’s that whole “bless your heart” thing. Don’t be intimidated by that. It means many things, usually: “Well, bless his heart!” (This guy is a complete and utter idiot.) -OR- “Well, bless his heart! (Which means we have compassion for someone’s given situation and we truly care.) “Well, bless your heart!” (Which means you are grateful to that person who was very generous to you.) And, LAST, but NOT LEAST.....”Bless your heart”....(said through gritted teeth and an intimidating stare to, basically, say....”F U.”)

Clear as mud? ;-)

You’ll pick up on the nuances the longer you live here. :)

I had a hotel suite at the Sofitel on 57th & 7th for four years back in the 80s-90s and that's as close as I've ever come to "living in NY" and that was close enuff.

I'd spend 2-3 weeks in NY and then 2-3 weeks on the road and then back home for 2 weeks.

It was a long four years, but I pitied the native NY City dwellers, they had no respite.

Congrats on your escape from NY.

Congrats! You will probably be much happier. Good decision!

Just one thought: If, after a couple of years of living there, feel that you are now “one of the gang” and can therefore get away with making fun of Southernisms (even truly silly ones), think again. Especially with a NY accent (even a mild one), you will not be assimilated until you’ve lived there 20 years. You may make many friends who truly come to love you and value you ... but if you ever drop a criticism of the Southern life in a Yankee dialect, you can get “froze out” real quick! Just sayin’.

You will love America. You will love Atlanta. I left New York, and Atlanta is now my home. We can now meet for some of the finest Thai food you will ever experience!
