Everywhere? Most White woman still don't even have ass, all though it's more than there use to be. Anyway, I went to the northside and saw a lot of PAWGS. That's where most of them are, or midtown. So they are everywhere, everywhere but the southern suburbs, where the attitudes stink as well. I was in Buckhead. and stopped at Lennox Mall, where damn near every other brother was gay. But that mall had some PAWGS though, and they seemed to be gamed. Meanwhile the sisters were acting pretty much the same, maybe only a little better. But hanging out on the northside was enough to make me change my mind about moving away from the ATL for minute. The sad thing was, mostly the Whites had money, and the Black were working all the low paying jobs. That, or they looked uptight. Not all of them looked uptight, but you could tell a big difference. Seeing all those gay brothers wasn't necessarily a sight for sore eyes either, but they didn't mess with me, and they seemed to mind there own business, which was cool.

EXCLUSIVE: MTV’s ‘The Real World’ (now on Facebook Watch) finally comes to Atlanta

MTV’s “The Real World,” now transplanted on Facebook Watch, is going to base its cast in Atlanta for the first time in the show’s storied 27-year history.
ADVERTISING
The reboot produced by MTV Studios and original production company Bunim/Murray is tentatively shooting from March 11th to May 25th (10 weeks).
This will be the show’s 33rd season. It last aired on MTV in 2017. It was essentially the first reality show of its kind, spawning everything from “Big Brother” to “Survivor” to “Jersey Shore.”
In 2013, creator Jonathan Murray talked to me about why Atlanta has never made the cut.
”It’s a perennial runner up. We talk about it. One time, we thought it was too spread out. It felt like a lot of little villages. We weren’t sure where to put the show. We did consider Athens, too..” It’s still a possibility, Murray added. “Maybe it’s time has come.”


The age of the cast will range from 21 to 34, the oldest ever.
“People are Peter Panning,” said Shannon McCarty, supervising casting director at Bunim/Murray Productions. She is in her 10th season casting for this show and 16th year casting in reality TV. “I also think it’s an exciting opportunity to see someone’s evolution. People can be mature at 19. They can be immature at 45. You might be getting someone who divorced and is in a new stage in their life.”

im pretty sure midtown Atlanta becoming a party for rich and mostly white factored heavily into their decision, the explosion of loft and apartment style lofts inside the perimeter, and those retail megacomplexes

speaking of which anybody been on Ponce lately, is it traffic morning noon and night, I know when i worked in Edgewood, people kept going on and on about the midnight run to Zaxbys five years ago

Im moving to the A next week. Ill be living in Tucker but working in Marietta. You brehs have any advice on living on the A. Im moving from Orlando, Fl

This might sound like a jackass comment but I'd just read this thread from beginning to end. Everything I'd tell you has been repeated in this thread dozens of times

One thing I will tell you is to get the hell outta Tucker and get closer to the city, there's nothin out there and traffic going that way can be horrendous

Make sure your whip is PROPERLY tuned up, oil changed, alladat....cause you WILL be in traffic alot, my dude. In Atlanta during business hours, a routine 15-minute trip can turn into an hour long ordeal.

Other than THAT, be prepared to eat good, live cheaper and generally be happier.

Yea I just actually put a new engine in my car. I lived in Miami for four years so im unbothered by traffic. I also lane spilt on my motorcycle

Cost of living is actually higher in Atlanta than where I stay now and I have to pay state tax in Georgia but I think the trade off will be worth it.
