In a city of transplants, a born-and-raised Atlantan is a rare find.

LOL, I remember the Wolfman but wasn't born and raised in Atlanta.

The commercials were still on in the 90s when I moved there.

Also K-Swiss was in style all over the country. They were our "go-to" back to school shoes when I was a kid.

MACY'S!? You ain't from around here, are ya!😄 You mean DAVISON'S, right?

(Funny, the one time in my life I actually heard someone say "you ain't from around here..." --someone had just plopped down a six-pack on the register at the grocery on a SUNDAY!).

I remember all of that. Born and raised in Atlanta.

I left 10 years ago primarily because of traffic and the hot weather though.
