Good luck, God bless, and please remember that you came to South to join it, not to change it.
I keep my promises - we will not be seeking to change your state. That is one thing that I can guarantee.
I don’t think I have much of a “NY” accent - it’s more generic, since I grew up in Central NY (which, by the way, has more in common with the south than it does with downstate). Of course, my accent is still a far cry from southern, so I know I’ll stand out. But my husband is born & raised on Long Island - I think I need to get him some speech classes.
And thanks to everyone for the suggestions on neighborhoods. My office will be in Tucker, so I’m looking toward the northeast of Atlanta for a home. I recognize many of the town names that you’re mentioning, from all of the online research I’ve been doing over the past few weeks. But it’s good to hear from people who know the towns personally, for a real perspective.
Good luck, God bless, and please remember that you came to South to join it, not to change it.
