After a week of March Madness-style competitions and more than 1,000 votes, the stage is set to determine the Best OTP Downtown in metro Atlanta once and for all.

In one corner is reigning Suburban Smackdown champ Alpharetta. In the other, the growing southside mixed-use and TV/film studio hub that is Trilith.

As determined by reader nominations, Alpharetta is the top seed, and Trilith a true Cinderella at No. 16.

These top two vote-getters in the Final Four have now moved on, leaving Roswell and Marietta behind, with all due respect.

Alpharetta snagged 53 percent of more than 500 votes in Final Four action this year. Trilith brought in a respectable 26 percent of the tally for second place—and a spot in the 2024 Championship.

Big thanks to those who’ve participated so far. Buckle up, because the David vs. Goliath Suburban Smackdown final match begins Monday.
