Over 70? wtf are you a snow miser?
anywho.... atlanta is fun.

[mrsleeve]

And I can understand that, but to me the heat you guys have most of the year is not something I could deal with. I hate it when it gets much over 70 degrees, I have family that live in the SW and fuck I dont know how they hell they do it.

really cold winters............. Whats your average temp in the winter down there, upper 50's low 60's??? Ummm thats NOT COLD Yeah sure you get the occasional cold snap that lasts up too a week or so, and the occasional Ice storm but you dont have cold winters.

You dont know COLD WINTER till you spend one or at least part of one in Northern MN Or the Northern Plains

Which is why many o us down here choose not to live up there.
Everything down here is bearable OP. don't move to south Atlanta (Clayton county), or anywhere directly south of Atlanta for that matter.

I agree. People always botch about it being cold here. Its not at all cold here.

We do have shit tons of pollen. Which sucks cause I'm allergic to grass and oak trees

Anything 30-40 minutes outside of atlanta is usually a pretty nice area. I used to live in Snellville/lawrenceville/grayson, which are all east atlanta and I can say I really enjoyed it. I actually wish I could move back.

As far as how georgia is, hot summers and cold winters. There are always random bits of traffic besides rush hour itself. Overall, its not that bad.

is douglasvill a shitty place? Wasnt added in the "nice" areas lol. Im from there btw haha

I havent spent much time in Dville, but there are some rough areas there.

My roommate is from there.

He says "dawg", "aiiight", "dope", and "bro" on a very regular basis if that means anything to you. And hes as white as can be lol

No not Atlanta, though I have been to Atlanta. I have family in loganville. Right now I'm trying to decide on an area. I'd prefer to be close to loganville for that reason. Thanks for all the feedback, keep it coming everyone!

I'm originally from the DMV (DC area) and have lived in Augusta since '01. Love the slow pace and easy tempo of GA. Atlanta is a different animal though and there's no easy way to adjust to the crazy humidity down south.

[nickskater09]

I feel like I have the perfect placement, about 40 minute commute to the shop I work for and it's in East Atlanta, and in an hour I can be on the twisties in the mountains.

[chance]

And the summer heat with the humidity sucks ass

[chance]

Pretty large classic BMW following down here.

I hate Atlanta, so I reccomend the suburbs north-northwest of Atlanta. Marietta, Kennesaw, Roswell, Alpharetta, etc

[vert_this]

I'd b thrilled moving from jersey..serious drought issues though.

I remember the last time I was there and some grandma passed me while I was doing like 80 through downtown so its a fast moving place for sure.

[nickskater09]

Summers hot, winters cold, and traffic is unbearable between 7-9 AM and 4-7 PM. It's required by law that you don't use your turn signals and ALWAYS have your hazard lights on in heavy rain. We do have a pretty solid BMW community though.
