The Peachtree City. The Athens of the South. Hotlanta. These are just a few of the nicknames for Atlanta, the largest city in Georgia with about 450,000 in the city limits and and additional 4 million or so in the metro area and growing almost exponentially. It is now among the fastest growing metro areas in the U.S. It is quickly emerging as a major international city and amajor media center thanks to CNN and Ted Turner being in the city. It hosted the Summer Olympic in 1996 and is becoming a major cultural center. It has the CNN Center, the Georgia Aquarium which is the largest in the U.S., the Coca Cola Museum, and a place called underground Atlanta.
The Atlanta area is nice to live BUT I wouldnt want to live in the city proper. It is among the most crime-ridden cities in the country. Alpharetta or Sandy Springs is more appealing to me.

A liberal bastion of 6.5 million people in the New England region of the northeast United States. Boston is the capital and largest city, and is a major cultural and educational center. Massachusetts is known for liberalism, high taxes, the Kennedys, the Berhsire Mountains and cold winters.

1. Wallyworld.
2. two words: corporate terrorism. This Benadict Arnold corporation hates anything to do with competition and American capitalism. It imports products from China (ironically Communist) and Mexico to sell them at a low price, putting out of business some American corporations like Ohio-based Huffy bicycles.
3. The epitome of whitetrash America and you almost have to be such to shop there (their stores in the southwest have nothing but dirty Hispanic men wearing wife-beater shirts who shop there).
4. It gives capitalism a bad name and is responsible for the demise of jobs outsourced to Mexico. It bullies smaller businesses across America by invading the suburbs and establishing predatory prices to put the smaller, older business out of commission.
5. Practices 21st Century endentured servitude and treats its employees like disposable goods. It makes billions but pays its employees a slave wage. Many of them have sued the company to get any insurance benefits. The company refuses to let its employees unionize, although it wouldnt do any good anyway.
6. Their stores have like 30 checkout lanes but to save a dime, will only open half of them, creating ungodly long lines.
7. Their stores are dirty. Their shopping carts are usually broken and wander meanderously through the parking lot but you can’t find any in the store.
8. Hires the worst people: Their employees are unhelpfull, unprofessional, uneducated and lack professional skills. They don’t even speak English in the workplace and are probably here illegally. You almost have to be a minority to work there, thanks to affirmative action. Not surprisingly it hires illegal immigrants to clean its stores. It hires only people in wheelchairs to greet you as you enter and then questions you as you leave to make sure you’re not stealing.

What a company. Walmart is disgusting and I have to shower when I get home from their stores. They should be reported to the department of Labor. They might as well have a sign outside that says, "NOW HIRING. PLEASE INQUIRE INSIDE. WHITES AND AMERICANS NEED NOT APPLY."

The only retailer in America that allows people (primarily Hispanic males) to enter the premises wearing only a wifebeater shirt on the outside.

The only mega-corporation that can turn surburban America into a haven for whitetrash. The people who shop there are digusting (especially in the desert southwest)and the employees are disgusting. Many of them need to shower, dont speak English, aren't helpful, aren't customer-service friendly, dont have professional skills, don't have people skills and lack an education. Many of its employees are either ex-cons who are just waiting to steal your identity, black men with dreadlocks who wear pants that are ten sizes to big that are worn below their ass as if they were falling down or illegal immigrants who cant speak a damb word of English who are rude and dont give a crap about your customer-service needs. Hell, ALL of their janitors are here illegaly anyway. You go into a department asking where a product is and their piece-of-crap employees say, "I don't know, sir" and walk away with out the 2-seconds of care in the world to find out. I shouldn't be too surpised because the employees are treating the customer the exact same way they are treated by the company. I admit that I am anti-Walmart.
Walmart is a piece-of-crap company with piece-of-crap workers and a piece-of-crap, anit-American philosophy that gives Capitalism a bad name. This company needs to be investigated by the Justice Deaprtment, the Department of Labor and the Federal Trade Commission and its CEO thrown in jail. I DESPISE everything about Walmart and hope they go out of business one of these days.
ME: "Excuse me, sir but do you carry the Panteen brand of shampoo? I am finding everything else but that."
EMPLOYEE: "I don't know, sir."
ME: "Can you find out?"
EMPLOYEE: "It's not my department."
ME: "Nevermind, jerkoff. I want to see your supervisor."
EMPLOYEE: "Whatever, homie. Piece"

Satan's Utility Vehicle. Nothing more than an irresponsible, gaz-guzzling, status symbol bought and operated by sexualty frustrated housewives, trophywives and suburban soccer moms who think they own the road and believe it requires a 3-ton monstrocity to haul 2 kids to practice while their cheating, corporate executive husbands are off banging their secretary. An SUV can often be seen occupying two parking spaces so it won't be hit by another "inferior" vehicle.
An SUV is an absolutely worthless, irresponsible automobile that does nothing but serve as a status cymbol to show off your money to others as if we care how much money you have. All SUVS are incredibly irresponsible to the environment and should be outlawed.

It amazes me of all the silly descriptions of a small town by ignorant people on here. No, I dont live in one, but I did for a while. They are not all the same. Yes, some are poor, but some are also very affluent (Lake Zurich, Illinois for example).
A small town is the anithesis of a big city, which is not necessarily a bad thing. A small town is a community where people are a generally friendly, laid back folk, and where everybody knows almost everybody there. If you stop and ask for directions, the person giving you the directions will probably turn it into a conversation. The community is probably a speed trap, but the police who give you a speeding ticket are often known and called by their first name. You are usually not afraid to unlock your doors (although I wouldn't do it). Most businesses in town are family-owned ma-and-pa stores threatened by the Walmart nearby, which is probably the community's largest employer. The Mayor probably has another job on the side. You also know your'e in a small town because the people raise a stink over a new business coming in, fearing that it will create "traffic congestion." Some small towns can be suburbs or exurbs of a large meropolitan area.
