A Florida suburb, about 20 minutes outside of Orlando and slightly cheaper to live in than Orlando. If you aren't rich enough or are too scared to live in Orlando-the murder capitol of the state-you move to Altamonte Springs, aka "The Springs" to the locals (esp. the local teens/kids). If there is a right place in all of the Orlando metropolitan area, Altamonte Springs is it. Positioned in the geographic heart of Central Florida, Altamonte Springs provides a solid base of white collar personnel and support services with the convenience of a location that virtually eliminates the daily challenge of commuting to work. Altamonte Springs boasts a dynamic mix of fine retail establishments, hotels, upscale offices, commercial space, abundant restaurants, and housing in all price ranges. In addition to single-family and multi-family homes nestled in lakeside and tree-shaded communities, Altamonte Springs is located in one of the more affluent areas of Central Florida. The City’s current population for 2009-2010 is 43,243.
The 6 largest Retail Centers in the City:
-The Altamonte Mall
-The Marketplace @ Altamonte
-West Town Corners
-Renaissance Center
-Oak Grove Shoppes
-Altamonte Crossing
"Dude, there's nothing to do!"
"I know. If we wanna find a party or something we gotta get out of The Springs. Let's head for Orlando."
"Are you crazy? You wanna leave Altamonte Springs to go to Orlando! Unless we go straight to Disney World, we'll get shot!"

Altamont, IL is located 12 miles west of Effingham, Il on Interstate 70 or 88 miles east of St. Louis. The town was basically founded by Germans about 150 years ago, and German heritage can be seen all throughout town. Basically a wanna-be Effingham, IL with slightly less people. More famously known for hosting the Effingham County Fair. The town has a reputation of thinking they are better than the neighboring towns of St. Elmo, Beecher City, and Brownstown even though they are just as average as any other small town. The town is about 99% white and most teenagers listen to rap music, and think they are gangsters or prominant high school athletes (until the real world hits). Teenage beer parties seen to be the only thing in town for high schoolers. Altamont thinks its just as successful as top high school sports programs like Teutoplois or Effingham, but in reality they resemble Stew-Stras, St. Elmo, or Beecher City in althletic ability.

Interestingly, the nicest people you will find in town are those who have moved in Altamont (not originally from Altamont) or the lower middle class individuals who do not own a prominant busniness in town or carry a prominant job. It seems like about 20% of the town, controls most of its wealth.

Most residents of Altamont, IL continue to use the communication method of "gossip" to tell about all the misfortunes and breaking news in town.
A-Town usually reserved for rap capital Atlanta, GA, however Altamont, IL has used this to describe itself (although most people familar with the rap scene would agree that Atlanta and Altamont have nothing in common).
