I figured Alpharetta would be similar, as economically it's pretty even with PTC... on my few visits up there (debate tournaments) I've always seen some really nice cars (Porsches, etc) and a handful or ricers too...
Peachtree City/Newnan really isn't that bad for rice. You guys should get out and travel more.
Peachtree city and Alpharetta are NOT economically equivalent. Peachtree City is largely "plastic" money, meaning credit...debt. My g/f works in one of the Krogers in PTC, and she says it's normal to have people come through the line and try 3 or 4 diff maxed-out credit cards just to buy $10 of groceries. Until last week, when my reserve unit got activated, I worked in PTC amongst a good cross section of white-collar ptc residents. Trust me, there isn't as much money here as you'd think. People in PTC delude themselves into thinking they have money, and live in an upscale town...when in reality, property values in PTC are dropping fast, the city government is broke, and the neighboring communities are rapidly outpacing them. Granted, some people in PTC really are loaded, but not nearly as many as Alpharetta; that's where the real rich people live. Anyways, enough on that rant. I'm not a fan of PTC, but I don't hate it as much of some of you do...though I can't quite figure out what you have against it.
