I can't pinpoint why I find this billboard so disconcerting. We're all well aware that there's a large portion of New Orlean's former population in Atlanta, so that's definitely not it. And yes, that says Re-Elect Our Mayor Ray Nagin. Our Mayor. No, I didn't move to NO - that's part of it.
Maybe it's also because I spend so much time driving in/out/around Atlanta, and the only place I've come across this billboard is in da 'hood. On the side of a custom stereo/rim shop at that. Or because I know I'd never see that anywhere near my job in N. Fulton County. Somehow I don't think Sandy Springs residents would "stand for it". He'd never be Their Mayor.
Hope it works out for him (Nagin)/them (the chocolatey-er former residents of the chocolate city). Hmph.
