@phoenixandswan_ @flossiderum It's confusing to everyone, not just you. Ha! The City of South Fulton is the outlined area. Riverdale is adjacent. The cities of South Fulton County are: South Fulton, East Point, College Park, Palmetto, Hapeville, Chattahoochee Hills, Fairburn and Union City.

@CoSFObserver @flossiderum Oops, well it's not South Fulton? Okay it's a county over so I'm not too far off then I think w/ the geography. But okay, I haven't been in a few years but grew up in Atlanta, and was in and out after. Will have to figure out this geography I guess no lol.

Don't forget to join the conversation!

@DonutsFulton Cronuts all day!

As regulars, you're the experts! Let's hear what you think they should try when they come in for the first time.

@phoenixandswan_ @flossiderum Riverdale is in ClayCo:)

@flossiderum Oh yeah. South Fulton mainly which I think Riverdale is in. I call it Blackville no lol. Feels like you could make a world with just black characters because the cities will be regular cities just w/ bl ppl evwrywhere. Lots of trees/nature too. And the name is PERFECT (to me) lol
