The Clock Face of Atlanta: Where Do You Live?

Have you recently relocated to the metro Atlanta area? Well then, you’re not alone. According to the US Census Bureau in the World Almanac and Book of Facts (2012), almost 2.5 million people in the past twenty years, have decided to call Atlanta, the third largest city in the Southeast, their new home.

Navigating through the sprawling areas of this city isn’t easy for newcomers. In fact, there are 71 streets in metro Atlanta with the words “peach tree” in their address. So, we hoped we could help make your adjustment to your new surroundings just a little bit easier. Like most newcomers, many people will circle the perimeter more than once before they realize they have passed by their exit.

Where do you live?

First, envision Atlanta as a clock face, and then I-285 as the clock perimeter. Do you live at 12 o’clock in Alpharetta/Milton? Do you live at 3 o’clock in Stone Mountain? Perhaps you live at 6 o’clock near Hartsfield International Airport? Or, maybe you live at 9 o’clock in Marietta?

So the next time you are driving around Atlanta and you’re a little confused as to where you’re going, remember this clock face. And if all else fails, most Atlantans would graciously show you a little "Southern hospitality" and guide you back to your doorstep. Just stop and ask.
