i was born here but haven’t lived here since i was a few months, before moving back for university. i’ve always wanted to live in an urban area with a lot of young, college aged people, and this is the perfect place for that. there are always festivals, thrift pop ups, art gallery openings, historical buildings and events to go to which i love. i enjoy meeting strange people who are part of various scenes, going to the goth club and spending time with my interesting friends. the public transportation is also great, since i don’t have a car and don’t plan on getting one either.
there is however a very large homeless issue that has been going on for years, and a housing crisis, and even my favourite cheap sandwich place has had to jack up their prices, but what can you do.
i plan on staying here for university and possibly moving away for post-grad, but this place will hold a very special place in my heart forever

Born and raised here, and watched it grow from a small and relatively unknown town into an up and coming international city. I really appreciate the slow-paced lifestyle, weather, and quality of life here. While it’s still behind on a lot of things compared to other cities around the world, such as public transport infrastructure and lacking in night life, I have no doubt that the 2032 Olympics will help with the rapid growth and changes in the next coming years.
Of course, I wanna try living short-term in other cities around the world, but I’ll always call Brissy my home.

I wasn’t born here, but I was raised here & I used to resent that about my upbringing. I didn’t understand why I had to be raised away from my culture in a place that only made me feel alien but now that I’m older I’m finally beginning to appreciate it.
I was raised here but I’m seeing this city in a way that I never have before. It’s so serene & quaint. I love how many local coffee shops we have & how rich we are in grass & trees. I love that my identity makes me unique, & it’s refreshing to meet other people like me in this southern, suburban city. It’s lovely here.

I’m only a few blocks away from my favorite bakery and a little independent movie theater and so many cool shops and businesses. Very walkable area. The neighborhood park does live music and community events like free weekly yoga. I love the architectural style of all of the houses and they just exude character and charm with their decoration and landscaping. The streets are lined with huge trees. There are long paved paths that go through the neighborhood and people are always out walking their dogs or with their adorable families! Nearly everyone I come across is so friendly and kind. It’s just really nice!!

i’m needing to remind myself that being odd and dressing uniquely is not a bad thing. going back to university and not knowing anyone in my classes while also showing up in a full tweed suit or a tetris cardigan or a long brocade jacket is okay. don’t let the uniqueness leave you just because people give you strange looks.
be more like the girl that dresses in head to toe lolita coords every day. or the guy that came to class dressed as soulja boy for no particular reason. get weird with it!!
