It doesn't matter - people from all over NW Atlanta (including AS) are going to flock there anyway to buy crap from the usual schlocky generic outfits.

It is kind of sad that most of the people in Atlanta & Georgia will just basically accept anything chain/generic. I went to NYC last week, and I rarely see much of anything that generic. Ok, maybe a few H&Ms, but that's it.
My friend from NYC was so disappointed with GA, ie strip malls. I took her to Little Five Point, and she asked if this was all of it. I basically said yes.
But then again, it is really hard to impress anyone from NYC. I mean I kinda missed NYC, everything about it except the price. I think this post is mostly on topic. :-)
