Esp. for those new to the city... Granted, the subtle nuances of the in town 'hoods are lost using this but it's still a clever and easy way to explain to people that Lithonia is no where near Mableton. I have to wonder what the originating city was that someone borrowed this from and applied it to our fair hot hot. I'm in the 2:10 area, and damn close to where the hands are affixed to the face of the clock. I’ve never heard this, but it makes sense. Esp. for those new to the city…

I hadn't ever heard anyone refer to the clock before. It's just that it doesn't give you any idea of how far itp you are. I propose (if we're going to follow this silly measurement waaaaaay farther than it needs to go) the addition of 20 and the connector as an x-axis and a y-axis, measured in say, miles. That intersection would be (0,0), so I'm just before 3 on the clock and at (1, 0.5). Yeah, pulled that straight outta eighth grade math. You love it. Come on. Huh, nope.
