What’s Actually Wrong with Atlanta?

On this edition of The Morning X, Barnes and Leslie open the phone lines to tackle a massive, hotly debated question: What is actually wrong with their home city? Before the flood of opinions begins, they get sidetracked by an overstock situation in the station’s online store, sparking a playful studio clash over "elephant-sized" merchandise. From there, listeners call in to share their city grievances, including the legendary history of a retro government "posse", a terrifying highway encounter involving a moving truck, the administrative nightmare of calling 911 near city borders, and the high-stakes political movement that almost split the metro area's finances in half. This is from the Best of The Morning X vault. THE MORNING X with BARNES & CRASH originates on 99X Atlanta.
