I know some of you here may not be happy about this latest list about the rats (even I was surprised by this one).

But you all should take comfort and be grateful that Atlanta doesn't have THESE!!!!

I have always felt that if I see rats that I'm in a real city.

Sarcasm, correct? Filthy rodents are now a benchmark for city greatness? Even for C-D, this is retarded! You all are being sarcastic, yes?

The rodent in the New Orleans pic: is that a beaver?

I'm serious.

Great cities have rat problems, generally.

So, the next time someone calls Atlanta, Detroit of the South; you'll have no problem with that? Will Houston now get some love here? After all, it ranked higher than Atlanta.

I know what Atlanta is. I chose to move here out of all the cities across the world. They can call Atlanta whatever they want. Whatever that will make them sleep well at night I'm all for it

The End

There are a ton of rats in the ATL, must be the great weather. On my block in S. Buckhead, all the homeowners have the trutech ratman bait the rats out to the property lines (you'll see their black boxes chained to the base of trees). It's like some kind of cold war--if you aren't baiting to the perimeter you will be overrun!!!
