Now it's an obnoxiously pretentious "brand" that proves that money does not always equal taste and that tackiness is popular amongst the noveau riche.

Why is Massell going after small business owners who are not likely to threaten B'head businesses in any way? I think this is going to backfire on him. Perhaps he's bitter about the Streets of Buckhead implosion. Karma is not a nice lady.

Uptowners are the funniest people here in Atlanta. I agree with most you said. The Uptown folks give Atl some personality, I dont take those people seriously though....more of personal entertainment.

Well, at least they gave us stuff like the Arts Center, the Aquarium, Woodruff Park, the city skylines, pro sports teams, and that sort of thing but they are a funny bunch.

I don't think most people know the real boundaries of Buckhead. It goes from almost Marietta Blvd all the way over to Decatur (though more patchy on the edges).

Anyway, this "real Vinings" and "real Buckhead" thing is stupid. Especially considering Sandy Springs and Smyrna often have more going on in terms of upscale housing development than the "real deal".
