exactly, that's what people don't understand. Most people's vision of "Atlanta" is what they experience coming from out of town to go to the GA Dome for a football game. That ain't atlanta, that's the bad part just like every other major city in america has a bad part. But like you said, there are so many small, independent little nooks and neighborhoods that accommodate every walk of life that there's something here for everyone.
Yep, and now the area around the Dome is light years better than it was even 7 years ago when I moved back here. We were in Decatur, are now temporarily in Morningside with a family friend as a house gets finished in Brookhaven. It's just a great place. Still southern enough, but cosmopolitan/international and has enough outsiders that you can get away from some things that it is impossible to get away from in most areas of the region.

Atlanta definitely gets a bad wrap as having no character, but I don't think that's really true at all. It's just that the city plays home to so many people from so many different parts of the country and world that it's character is hard to define.

this is why I'm in Charlotte and not the upstate. I'm a couple hours from anywhere I'd like to go in the Palmetto state, a short trip to the mountains, and the city has all of the amenities I need to do what I need to do in my career.
