The worst thing to happen to downtown was the emergence of Midtown after the 1996 Olympics. Most companies/businesses have either left or are in the process of leaving Downtown for either Midtown, Buckhead, or Perimeter. Eventually the only 'jobs' left in downtown for college educated people will be city of Atlanta, State, or Federal workers. The private sector has almost totally abandoned it and for good reason. There are much better options in the city core now.

Downtown Atlanta has been a ghost town after 6 PM since the 1980s at least. The exception is the area between five points and the Vine City Station when there is an event going on...and there is almost always an event going on. I worked in the Trust Company Bank Building from 9 PM to 5 AM one summer and I had to go to midtown to get "lunch" because the only restaurant in walking distance of little 5 points was a Burger King that closed at 7 PM.
