      New Yorkers Bolt for Warmer, Cheaper Atlanta

Dubbed "Spurmos," these endangered bachelors drink in increasing isolation as friends succumb to marriage, wine racks and child-rearing. Having roamed in great herds in their 20s, Spurmos can find themselves hard up for buddies, if not female companionship. Notable Spurmos include George Clooney, Vincent van Gogh, Voltaire and Indiana Jones. More »
