A set of side-by-side photos have Twitter users comparing “The Walking Dead” to real life.The images — one from season one of the hit TV show, and the other taken sometime around March 20 — depict the city of Atlanta in two vastly different situations.Shared by Twitter user Afshin Shirinzadeh, the second photo depicts the real-world version of Atlanta’s usually-busy highways as countless residents have taken to self-quarantining. Shirinzadeh shared the image alongside a still from “The Walking Dead,” in which Atlanta has become completely deserted due to an outbreak of zombies.
So I asked my old college mate, that lives in Atlanta, to try and reproduce this iconic promo photo from s1.
With there being no Atlanta traffic due to the pandemic, he went to Jackson St Bridge and took this for me today.
Creepy.
