Central Ga vs. Metro Atlanta

[Just1more]

Can someone explain the difference between the two. Living in Macon, we have always referred to where we live as Central Ga. Anything in and around the downtown Atlanta area we refer to as Metro Atlanta. It is confusing to look in the "Central Ga" classifieds only to open an ad and realize it is one of the counties closer to Metro Atlanta 1-1/2 to 2 hours north of me.

Same here- I'll see Metro Atlanta only to find out they're in Newnan or other far off places...

Some folks think this the AODT.

In for the ensuing bummbothering.

I think the OP has a valid point. This has been an issue for me as well. Weird that it's only central ga with the issue. I never click south ga and find its McDonough or something like that.

For clarification on posting in the classified section. Lol

Yeah for the record if you live in McDonough, Jackson,Griffin,Hampton etc you are NOT in central GA. But I think the issue may be that there's not a south Atlanta column.

Pure bald faced "placism". Simple as that.
