Your one neighborhood or one area of the city certainly doesn't make the entire city "suburban oriented". It's just another misconception that is being touted as reality - the very essence of a misconception.
So I cant add other neighborhoods that have a suburban feel besides those two?

Geesh, thanks for making up rules as you go along.

The fact that you are getting so incredibly defensive over this is telling...

What makes you say that I'M defensive? You're the one with the tone in your posts...

I'm telling you what I know about this city after living here for 20 years. You lived here for ONE year and you seem to think you know all there is to know about Atlanta. I'm sorry, but you have a misconception about the city - which is perfect for this thread title.

But, the name is the Flying BISCUIT. Key word, BISCUIT.

I saw the menu.

Yes...creative name for a resaurant, huh? Let me help you with that "key word" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biscuit

If you saw the menu, then why were you acting like all they serve is gravy and fried chicken in your last post? It's a very health-conscious menu.

Where did I claim that I know all there is to know about Atlanta? I would like to see where I typed that.

My posting has a 'tone' to it? Interesting.

You've lived in Atlanta 20 years, great. You have blinders on. Ive named 4 areas now that seem suburban to me and you brush them off as being a 'different type of suburban.' Guess what, 'different type of suburban' is still suburban. I could name about 15 more. But honestly, why bother.

Haha, two of the first items you see on the restaurants website are biscuits and cheesecake. Very healthy.

Ive actually been there a couple times, good food.

What a silly assumption - that I have "blinders on" because I've lived in this city for a few years and I'm very familiar with it. Believe your misconceptions if you like...that is what they are all about.

Did I say that you think you "know all there is to know about Atlanta"? Nope...you said that. I said that you seem to think you know more about the city than I do with your ideas about what is located here and what it means. You don't.

Yes, your posts have an irritated and frustrated "tone".
