Notcross — A Place Imagined

Editorial interest 88/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A satirical visitor guide to Notcross, Georgia, where four decades of civic planning supposedly give way to actually building a downtown.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

Notcross uses the structure of a municipal visitor portal—maps, event policies, parking information, news, and business-development updates—to carry its satire. The homepage divides the story into “Old Notcross 1889–2025” and “New Notcross 2025–present,” then measures the supposed transformation with 212 parking spaces, 31 reoccupied storefronts, and a nine-day permit median. Its parody disclaimer identifies Norcross as the real-world reference point.
