Get the John athlete mug.A genuinely terrible Atlanta suburb that lacks any sense of community. Don't plan on driving anywhere in the afternoon because you'll literally be fucked by traffic. Everyone here is the same. They all wear indentical clothing, they all live in identical houses in identical neighborhoods, and they all drive identical cars. Teenagers have severe drug and alcohol problems because of a lack of anything exciting to do. Families move here for the school district, and when the kids graduate high school, they move away and never look back because nobody ACTUALLY wants to live in Johns Creek.
Person 1: "I grew up in Johns Creek."
Person 2: "I'm so sorry to hear that."
Person 1: "It's okay, after high school I got the fuck out of there and never looked back."
