Good explanation of the distinctive environment, quite a bit different than what I've seen anywhere here.

I mean, we got commercial specialists & some condo specialists in Atlanta and I'm sure there are vacation/second home specialists in maybe Savannah & the mountains but otherwise basically everything falls into the major houses or the mom & pop (but they usually really aren't, they're often sized run similar to the brand name shops but without the national name recognition). The real mom & pop type shops seem to be mostly dead, only left in the rural or deep exurban areas in any significant numbers.
