There’s plenty to celebrate about Atlanta, but sometimes, you just gotta sob
Atlanta is generally a pretty nice place, with sunshine and friendly smiles everywhere, but because we’re all human, you know that sometimes, you just have to let it all out. And it’s not always feasible to get home and curl up on the couch with a vat of Jenny’s Splendid Ice Creams.
From gentle whimpering to full-on ugly weeping and hoarse moaning, a good cry is sometimes totally necessary in order to keep sane. But in a city that’s growing by the day, it can be tough to find spots for proper crying where 911 most likely won’t be called.
So like our good, emotionally honest friends at Curbed Philly, New York, D.C., Detroit, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, and Seattle, editors have taken it upon ourselves to identify places around Atlanta for public sobbing.
And if you don’t see your favorite crying spot on the list, why don’t you just cry about it?
