Tourist Couture
Comfortable, functional footwear(great for walking)
Protection from the sun and/or government spycopters (probably a thing)
Children, the hottest new accessory of the season. Be
sure to bring them anywhere and everywhere, especially if
they are crying and/or screaming and/or someone
might trip on them.
Backpack, great for carrying bottled water, snacks,
sunscreen, souvenirs, pepper spray, informational pamphlets, Chihuahuas, cool rocks, Obama,
and other necessities.

IN CONTRAST:The Local
• Knows where they’re going

is a cute suggestion, but is rarely acknowledged
• Appropriately dressed for the temperature and weather conditions
• (Is rarely on a Segway)

AND FINALLY:Me
• Looks lost• Is probably lost
• Does not have a smartphone, and thus is heavily reliant on a big, unfolding map, that lets everyone know I don’t know where I am
• Shamefully asks for directions• Shamelessly asks to pet everyone’s
dogs• Owns a SmartTrip card
• Often misses stops or gets on the train going the wrong way
• Jaywalks• Has almost gotten run over at least 5 times
• Two of which were by bikes• Probably cold
• I’m currently wearing a long sleeved shirt, a sweater, and I have a jacket, but currently 30% of the reason I’m writing this post is because I don’t want to face the freezing winds in the 20 ft walk between this Starbucks and my car.
• It’s like 50 degrees. So basically an Arctic winter.• The locals are calling this “fall.”• It is a full 20 degrees warmer in Atlanta right now• How am I going to survive the winter
