Frustrations with Atlanta
I was having a conversation with a stranger at my favorite coffee shop the other day. He said his friend just moved to New York City and his trying to convince him to move in with her. I’ve heard this story before, many times before and I’ve heard it an overwhelming amount of times here in Atlanta. So I asked the guy “What is Atlanta’s obsession with New York City? For real, it seems like everyone I meet has their New York story, which is consist of them spending a day in Manhattan. But no one who works in Manhattan lives in Manhattan. That said, I can’t help but think a move like that is incredibly naive. if you are not careful, you are gonna end up in the Bronx!” He responded with “Maybe. I feel like Atlanta is the New York City of the south.”
