Living in Atlanta
(Category: Short Stops )

From the list of "Things About Atlanta" sent to me by my Lovely Wife. This one is particularly apropos at the moment:

The pollen count is off the national scale for unhealthy, which starts at 120. Atlanta is usually in the 2,000 to 4,000 range. All roads, vehicles, houses - everything - is yellow from March 28th to July 15th. If you have any allergies, you will die. But other than that, it's a great place to live!

No joke. The current level is a nice low 396, thanks to some rain yesterday. Yes, we breath a sigh of relief when the pollen count gets down to only 3 times the extremely high marker. A couple of days ago the pollen count was over 5,000. You probably won't actually die from it but many people wish they would. I have personally seen people fight over an Alavert.

Since my wife and I moved to Atlanta (with much trepidation) from Denver, CO, we have discovered our worst fears. Atlanta is an overcrowded, dirty, boring, suburnanit, politically correct hole. There is little to the downtown aside from a few parks crowded with the homeless and a city government whose response is for the mayor to grandstand for what she thinks is her constituency by handing out her business card to these troubled souls. The downtown is increasingly an empty vessel during the evening and Buckhead in the outer sections of the city (truly is little more than another suburb) is a completely overated dirty, non-pedestrian friendly quadrant filled with various riff raff and overpriced restaurants. The inhabitants of Atlanta are generally rude and lacking in any sense of civility as evidences by their driving skills. Truly this is the only city (including Chicago) that I have been in where if a light is out at an intersection cannot seem to grasp the concept of an orderly progression for each direction of travel to traverse the intersection. The climate, being warmer than that where the majority of northern transients come from is the only draw (as there is no southern drawl left in ATL) to the city. But of course Northeasterners love anything that is warmer and is not NY, NJ or Philadelphia, the hell holes from which they leave.
All in all in you wish to live in the south, choose Charlotte, Nashville etc. not atlanta.
