Why was Atlanta's NBA team excluded?

Level 63

Nov 4, 2021

I was wondering the same.

Wikipedia: "Sherman's 'March to the Sea' *followed* his successful Atlanta Campaign of May to September 1864". (Emphasis added.)

hartsfield airport is no longer the busiest airport... guangzhou baiyun overtook that distinction last year

Level 60

Nov 4, 2021

ATL is my least favorite airport. Last time I had a layover, they announced a delay because "the door fell off the plane." I don't want them to lie but they could have done a better job not freaking out passengers.

2020 is a huge outlier for obvious reasons. I'm not going to say that Beijing has passed Atlanta unless it does so in 2022.

incorrect.

One of these days I'm going to learn how to spell that river.

Level 60

Nov 4, 2021

I fully expected there to be something about the traffic.

A common language separated by an ocean. As a British person I have never heard of some of the words used here!

Level 86

Nov 4, 2021

Like what? I guess I can understand why you might say that for the name of the river and perhaps a couple other proper names, but I don't feel there are many unusual words on this quiz.

Oh, didn't you know? They don't know the word "aquarium", wot, Brits call it a "Fisharbour" or "Waterlybink".

Level 54

Aug 22, 2022

I think they mean unfamiliar names. There are some that British people would have to be very aware of American culture to get - but that's the joy of this website! I got 6 right on my first try, but still scored 0!

Level 66

I have lived in Atlanta since 1983 and have NEVER heard City in a Forest. Good quiz though!

Level 77

Nov 4, 2021

Born and raised and have never heard this in my life

Level 65

Nov 4, 2021

i'm a 6th-generation Georgian and never heard it either

Level 86

Nov 4, 2021

I've lived in the Atlanta metro area for nearly 20 years and I've heard it many a time. Plus, if you look at the city from a high place the reason for the nickname is obvious.

First time I flew in I was struck by all the woods around the city

Can the hip hop duo clue not also apply to Kris Kross?

Level 83

Nov 8, 2021

That's what I tried. Apparently they formed in 1991, though.

The Buckhead one feels a bit misleading. The movement to secede is hardly active. I would never have thought of Buckhead as very wealthy by means of Druid Hills or Chastain, but I guess it is.

Level 86

Nov 4, 2021

Seems rather active to me, or at least it's been in the local news a fair amount lately.

Level ∞

Nov 4, 2021

Yeah, I've been hearing about it and I live in Seattle.

The first Chick-fil-a isn't in College Park. It's in Hapeville, GA.

I was just guessing randomly for GWTW I didn't actually know that, I want to watch the movie sometime soon

sometimes when I take a quiz I'll type in an answer just to see if it is correct without reading any of the clues. Definitely got that second to last one in the blind. The pride of Lancaster, OH
