Re: Yet another reason why neighborhoods matter

Interesting blog. I live in Morningside and agree that we've been less susceptible than outlying areas at lower price points. We're seeing a lot of renovations for the "so-so" houses in great neighborhoods, as you mention. In an unpredictable market, I think that's about as good an investment as one can make. Cheers - Mark

Re: #3, not to be confused with Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard, which is NOT I-20! Which segues nicely into our blog post, The Streets of Atlanta and their Special Annoyances!

I'd agree with all of the above.

1. People do use ITP in some cases.
2. Nobody here says "hotlanta"
3. I needed someone to tell me that the "Ralph David Abernathy" was I-20 when I moved here.
4. Some folks refer to Atlanta as "The Dirty" as in "Put your hands together for the dirty" that you see on T-shirts.
5. When I see the ATL abbreviation I just read it as "Atlanta".

Being a married man who knows what&#039s good for him, I would definitely say that "Hotlanta" refers to the weather. ;-) However, I also have to agree with many entries over at UrbanDictionary.com that state that nobody who actually lives in Atlanta ever users that term!

Hey, Mike. I was reading your comment at http://realestateblogpro.com/blog-commenting-for-... and followed your link here. I am not a native of Atlanta and had often wondered what some of these terms meant. Thanks for enlightening me! I noticed one your missing that I hear often... "Hotlanta". Did Atlanta get the name Hotlanta from the heat or all the hot, beautiful women in Atlanta, or both? I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks again for the great post.

Thanks Laura, we included "OTP" but forgot "ITP"! It&#039s weird, I say "OTP" to mean the &#039burbs, but I never say "ITP", I just call it "Intown." Is it just me?

ITP:"Inside the Perimeter." Inside I-285 or in other words, where the cool people live.

Fashionable "404": The area code historically assigned to phone numbers inside the perimeter.
