"Here in C terminal, and the unending, 90 person lines outside the chilfilas, starbucks never ease up. All the restaurants have like twelve workers behind the counter in a space as big as a suburban closet. People acting crazy or entitled or both."
"he told me he wanted me to come visit him for a weekend and hangout so i said sure. he paid for a $500 flight down there and i had to make up an elaborate lie to my parents I was living with during covid about spending the weekend with a random dude i met literally one time drunk at a bar. he owned "
"I was driving through midtown Atlanta, a route I rarely take. I was a feeling good and optimistic. It was a Sunday around 2 pm and sunny. I had a fun night out with girlfriends the night before. I felt like maybe I could live in Atlanta and the city after all. Of course the incessant traffic, highwa"
"I'm moving from the UK to ATL Georgia and just looking at the place names in the area is so weird and amusing. Granted UK places names are weird but they have a shared quaintness so are weird in a consistent way."
"I miss a 120lb Atlanta white boy explaining how interstate routes deliberately reinforced segregation (ok this one is true actually)"
"Interning at an international company and there's some bitch from Atlanta named Campbell. Why am I having a meeting with someone named Campbell? That's literally a surname."
"They're all tall, fit, mixed black girls with curly hair, nice shoes, and euphonious voices (I had to look that word up). They look like they ran track and field in college and have dads in the Air Force. God bless the city of Atlanta."
"I'm curious what the basics are in like London, Chicago, Vancouver, Atlanta, DC, etc. and the history of it all, and if US fashion in comparison is generally androgynous or just the northern cities"

"Talked with an elderly couple for an hour while waiting to board a plane in Atlanta just because they were wearing sweaters of Alma matter."
"I mean, I've obviously been to Atlanta, rural South Georgia, I've been to gun shows, etc. I didn't face any "real" racism, not even looks."
"Genuinely don't get it. Wtf does Atlanta have that other cities don't? It's an unwalkable traffic heavy shithole. The 'night life' it had is dying. I get it if you're black, the black culture is there. But for anyone else, why this city?"
"I know a 55 year old bus boy in Atlanta who did this a generation ago. He looks like the incredible hulk and 28 years old and just goes from gym to gym (all free because he makes them look good by working out there) until it's time for his 5:30pm bus boy shift, then he snorts it all away. Happiest m"
"All I see are huge groups that come in, maybe meet another huge group they already know, then they circle up and drink some everclear daiquiris before leaving hours before last call. Dozens of little parties with closed invites. Why even go out at that point, just have an apartment party and drink c"

"It went from one of the best and most original series to, now after the hiatus post-season 2, kinda sucking... The new seasons aren't a complete disaster as the cast is still fantastic, but the plot for the main cast feels half-assed and the 'Twilight Zone for Black Issues' standalone episodes feel "
"In Atlanta I feel like people talk about sane things idk idk I can't do it."
"I had a house in ATL and when my gf and I broke up about 8 months ago, we sold it. The housing costs just continue to rise here and I feel like I can't buy back in when I'm ready. Where can I find an rs gf and a house in the same place without breaking the bank?"
"that show ramy. it's not that bad. but people should give louis credit, he did do that weird shit but everyone is taking his shit. you've got black louis aka atlanta. and now i'm finding out there's arab louis too. let's not forget jew louis aka Dave. all these mononym cultural exploration off kilte"

"But im in Atlanta and drinking at a bar sucks. Need stimulation."
