“If my kids have a Southern accent, I will kill myself.”

NY Sun profiles the 40,000 New Yorkers who’ve moved to Atlanta. Things they bitch about include but are not limited to: Southern accents, lack of pizza, slow speech and movement, cars. Things they rightfully praise: affordable housing. This isn’t a joke. The houses in Atlanta are huge. They all have seven bedrooms, two wings, a basement, an attic, a pool, and a giant trampoline in the backyard. Things they don’t yet know about: the best chicken biscuits in the universe, Mellow Mushrooms, Little Five Points, one of the largest Jewish populations in America, and that Southerners are actually dangerously charming people.
