<p>Throughout the school year, I live about 45 minutes south of Detroit, 25 minutes from the Michigan - Ohio border. So no, I don't really live by Philip. I kinda do, but I don't go around saying, "Hey, I'm from Detroit. WEST SIDE."</p>

<p>During school breaks and the summer, I live in Ottawa, Canada. It's pretty nice. :)</p>

<p>"As of 2005, there were 663,818 people (2005), 241,847 households (2004), and 170,167 families (2004) residing in the county. The population density was 763/km² (1,952/mi²).

<p>"According to the 2000 census, the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area has a population of 4,247,981, making it the eleventh largest metropolitan area in the United States. The 2004 Census estimate shows 4,708,297 people living in the area. Atlanta proper is only the 41st-largest city in the country, largely due to Atlanta's patterns of urban sprawl, and the city's inability to annex as have such cities as Houston, San Diego, and Phoenix. Atlanta's combined statistical area or CSA had a population in 2000 of 4,584,234. As of July 1, 2005 the CSA is estimated to be at 5,249,121"</p>

<p>"Transportation
Metro Atlanta is served by six major interstate highway routes to and from the city. I-75 is the busiest and carries a great deal of truck traffic, running south-southeast to Macon and onward to Florida and northwest to Chattanooga (and I-575 to Canton). I-85 runs southwest to Montgomery (and I-185 to Columbus), and northeast to Greenville/Spartanburg and Charlotte (and I-985 to Gainesville). I-20 runs east to Augusta and Columbia, and west to Birmingham.</p>

<p>I-285 encircles the city, and is called the Perimeter. I-75/85 is joined through downtown Atlanta, called the Downtown Connector. I-675 joins I-75 in the south metro to the southeastern end of I-285. Georgia 400 runs north to Alpharetta, then somewhat northeast to Dahlonega in the mountains. The GDOT had originally planned to connect 400 and 675 as I-475, but this was cancelled, as was east-west Interstate 420 and Interstate 485</p>

<p>MARTA operates rapid transit in Fulton and Dekalb counties, while Gwinnett, Cobb, and Clayton counties operate their own buses with no current rail transit. Plans are underway for commuter rail and bus rapid transit (BRT), though these are some years away. The first commuter rail line would run south of the city, eventually extended to Lovejoy and possibly Hampton, Georgia near Atlanta Motor Speedway. The Northwest Corridor HOV/BRT project from GRTA aims to add HOV lanes to I-75 and I-575 for cars and BRT, adding new lanes and exits, as well as lanes for tractor-trailers only.</p>

<p>There are many historic roads across the area, named after its mills and early ferries, and the bridges later built to replace the ferries. Pace's Ferry is perhaps the best known.</p>

<p>Currently, I-75 is 15 lanes wide at the Windy Hill Interchange (8 northbound, 7 southbound), and as such, is the widest freeway in the world. There are plans to expand the freeway from I-285 northward to the Wade Green Interchange to 26 lanes (13 lanes both northbound and southbound). Construction costs are expected to be about 10 billion dollars and it should take about 15 years to complete</p>

<p>The intersection of I-285 and Georgia 400 (a freeway running from Atlanta to Cumming and Dahlonega) is slated to become the biggest stack interchange in the world, which will encompass Collector Distributer lanes, as well as 130 foot flyover lanes, from 285 to 400, and from 400 to 285. Construction costs are expected to be around 2 billion dollars."</p>

<p>"Communications
The area is the world's largest toll-free calling zone and has three telephone area codes. 404, which originally covered all of northern Georgia until 1992, now covers mostly the area inside the Perimeter (Interstate 285). In 1995, the suburbs were put into 770, and 678 was overlaid onto both in 1998, requiring mandatory ten-digit dialing even for local calls under FCC rules. Cellphones, originally only 404, may now have any local area code regardless of where in the region they were issued. Confusingly, 470 will be the next area code, overlaid as was 678.</p>

<p>Atlanta enjoys the world's biggest fiber optic bundle, and was America's first city to employ ten digit dialing, which was begun by Bell South right before the 1996 Centennial Atlanta Olympic Games.</p>

<p>Major fiber-optic lines and oil and natural gas pipelines cross the area, running from the Gulf coast, Texas, and Louisiana to the population centers of the northeastern U.S."</p>
