I pulled over to get gas in south Atlanta this afternoon, and it’s like a Third World ghetto. It just gets worse every year.
****** I have tried to tell people we got a special thing going on in Georgia, it just bit Kemp in the a$$ LOL
Last rule: Never stop for gas inside of I-285
You know you are from Georgia if . . .
1. You can properly pronounce Chickamauga, DeKalb, Dahlonega, and Smyrna.
2. You think people who complain about the heat in their states are sissies.
3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in
the yard and look for a funnel.
4. You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined by
the distance to the door, but by the availability of shade.
5. Stores don’t have bags or shopping carts, they have sacks and buggies.
7. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.
8. You measure distance in minutes.
9. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.
10. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.
11. You know cowpies are not made of beef.
12. Some one you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding
date.
13. You know someone who has a belt buckle bigger than your fist.
14. You aren’t surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, beer, and
bait all in the same store.
15. A Mercedes Benz isn’t a status symbol. A Ford F350 Crew Cab is.
16. You know everything goes better with Ranch dressing.
17. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.
18. You actually get these jokes and are “fixing’” to send them
to your friends.
19. You wanna go back to Georgia, where everything is normal. And
finally:
20. You are 100% Georgian if you have ever had this conversation: “You wanna coke?” ~ “Yeah.” ~ “What kind?” ~ “Dr Pepper.”
*****
Amen to that.
>>15. A Mercedes Benz isn’t a status symbol. A Ford F350 Crew Cab is.
You clearly haven’t been to Atlanta in 30 years or more.
Mercedes-Benz didn’t move to Atlanta a few years ago only because of the cheap real estate and excellent airport.
All true!
I spent 25 years working at Atlantic Station, when it was called Atlantic Steel!! The Mill village is full of Yuppies now.
