I'm in Cumming, and I prefer to say I'm in "north Georgia" than Metro Atlanta.
For the purposes of buying and selling and trading guns and other stuff, I'm not going to drive to Atlanta, and I don't really expect people who live in or near 285 to come up this far to see me.
I'd rather drive another 30-40 miles north to Helen or Dahlonega than to come down to ATL just for a meet-up.
(Unless it's for a paying client engaging my legal services, of course.)
If somebody from Lawrenceville works in ATL and spends a lot of time going in that direction, then to him, Lawrenceville should be considered as Metro Atlanta. But to others that do all their shopping and work and recreation in the north or east directions, rarely venturing south or west, then Lawrenceville may be "Northeast Georgia" to them.
