[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m from Peachtree City and loved living there but I have to tell you that the traffic is horrible there now.  It’s a master planned community but the other towns of Fayetteville and Newnan are encroaching so much that traffic is crushing at rush hour and the main roads can’t handle it…

It’s roads are getting crowded not just because of encroaching (?) neighboring residents but because of growing number of visitors and tourists. In recent year, Expedia ranked Peachtree City as number one city to visit in US because of its unique landscape and lifestyle. 
                                                                                                                                                            http://www.expedia.com/stories/cities-that-must-be-seen-this-year/[/quote]

I'd stay away from the whole state of Georgia, especially if you are a POC. It's gotten better in recent years, but certain views are entrenched there, and you don't have to go very far to experience them. We dealt with routine racism in Decatur, GA (supposedly the "Berkeley" of the South). Everything from being told to "go back to your country", to my kids' being made fun of for their "smelly" (ethnic) lunch, to my visiting uncle taking a walk in our neighborhood and cops almost being called (by a supposedly liberal, lesbian Jew).  It's really obvious when people are just paying lip service to being liberal, as opposed to being a sincere ally. What I experienced was not unique; many of our POC friends had similar experiences. And the shootings in Duluth, GA last year of Asian women should warn you what it's really like at the core.

Lol, no one calls Decatur the Berkley of the South. [b]Plus your kids should not be bringing pungent foods to school anyways. If other kids are bringing turkey or ham sandwiches it will be pretty obvious if your kids bring curry or other strong smelling foods.[/b][/quote]

Do you even hear your racist self? Why does it matter if the smell of some other kid's food is "obvious"? Maybe those kids are offended by the smell of dead animals from your kid's lunch.[/quote]

Exactly, I have wanted to wretch at my coworkers' "American" meals my entire life, but somehow managed to be polite while they dug into their rare steaks.

Fortunately, here in DMV, my kids are surrounded by other kids with different "pungent" foods and noone says a damn thing. In fact, they trade. [/quote]

Ah yes the coworkers that bring rare steaks into work for lunch.[/quote]
