This is Atlanta's cityscape, as stolen from wikipedia. That is looking South from I-85 just north of the split. And this is Atlanta, minus the smog, from almost straight South looking North.
Atlanta is, according to the July 06 census, about 60% black and 13% queer (that is the third largest ratio for queers in large cities in the country, guys).
There are no good GIS pictures of College Park or East Point, but here is one of the airport, which may as well be my parents' next door neighbor, and takes up 1/3 of the "city" of CP.
This is the 5th runway, which was finished two or so years ago. You have no idea what it's like to drive under that while a plane is landing on it.
It is also the home of Woodward Academy, which Delta Airlines notoriously tried to buy back when I was in middle school. Woodward is the school the Robert W Woodruff foundation, the George Carlos family, and the Coca-Cola company keep making huge donations to because significant members graduated there. (I did too, guys! I went to school with Evander Holyfield, Jr, and Kenan Thompson, sort of! See what potential my life has that I will never live up to!)
A few people from my hometown are these guys, this chick, this dude who still lives there, this guy, and this producer. Strangely enough, I haven't met any of them.
I think this is a good representation of College Park on the internet:
I now live in Kennesaw and go to school at KSU. Yes, it is as soulless and desolate as it looks. Up until like 2006 it was (and still is, despite their efforts) a commuter- and non-traditional student college, and only recently earned its way into the title of third largest school in the state, which by the way they were completely unprepared for and still haven't adjusted to (in terms of being student-friendly and the easy navigation of the administration and necessary things like having a registrar). For instance, as of this summer only 50% of the undergraduates are full-time students, and it has been my personal experience that trying to talk to anyone about anything to do with the registration process (which is run completely online, and pretty much overseen only by IT guys and a couple of students hired for it) is almost blocked by the fact that you have to go through the counseling office to get anything done, and all they ever want to talk about is your major requirements, to the point of interrupting your questions or abruptly changing the subject. Nobody cares about Kennesaw, and the only reason anyone's ever heard of it is from that song about Kennesaw Mountain (which, by the way, is not even that fun to hike up, so don't ask).

Soccer? What the hell is that?
Oh. Football.
Silly, silly Americans.

This is a football, and this is a soccer ball. Anyone who says otherwise is lying.
Oh:
Well I was born in a small town
And I live in a small town
Prob'ly die in a small town
Oh, those small communities
All my friends are so small town
My parents live in the same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity
Educated in a small town
Taught the fear of Jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
Another boring romantic that's me
But I've seen it all in a small town
Had myself a ball in a small town
Married an L.A. Doll and brought her to this small town
Now shes small town just like me
No I cannot forget where it is that I come from
I cannot forget the people who love me
Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town
And people let me be just what I want to be
Got nothing against a big town
Still hayseed enough to say
Look who's in the big town
But my bed is in a small town
Oh, and thats good enough for me
Well I was born in a small town
And I can breathe in a small town
Gonna die in this small town
And thats prob'ly where they'll bury me
