I'm a dullard: what's the "B" stand for?

ITP is a bogus designation because Smyrna is actually closer than many ITP areas. ITP people become so snooty, not realizing that I-285 is not a perfect circle ;-)
Well, to me it has always seemed like the OTP folks tend to be the snooty ones, but I agree that it's bogus distinction in the first place.

In Smyrna/Vinings/Cumberland, the perimeter doesn't act as much of a barrier. It's essentially one big city.

I like ITB/OTB, lol :-)

Does owning an investment property ITB but living OTB make me OTB or ITB? ;-)
