Roswell is the Ninth Snootiest City in Georgia

The city whose slogan is "Everything is Greater in Decatur" is the state's snootiest.

According to a new listing by RoadSnacks, Roswell is the ninth snobbiest city in Georgia.

“The city of Roswell has all sorts of plaques on its walls for awards it has won, everything from one of the best places to live, to safest, and best place to raise a family,” the report said. “Does that make you a snob? Only when you brag about it, which they do.

“There are about a dozen private schools here, making Roswell one of the most concentrated areas of snooty parents in the state. Apparently, the kids here are being groomed to take over the snooty crown from their parents one day.”
