Atlanta's getting too hip for me. Atlanta's home to me, so I hate to see so many ppl moving here to jump start their entertainment careers only to leave the city behind once they make a name for themselves. JMO

I'm 23 btw...
I hope you will accept my presence, I am creating employment and adding to the local economy.

It really is pretty bad down here. My car was broken into, then stolen less than a month later, taken to a collision shop, and then broken into at the collision shop. Mind you, these events were in different areas of town. SMH

Atlanta would be better, if

the jobs paid more
if you had more job security and barginning power
if we had better goverment
if we did away with some of the hiring process for law enforcement
if everybody in management stop trying to hire there cousins and hired qualify people
if our children had a better school sytem
if we had tougher gun laws
if we had some type of subway system to and from work
if we could work and make a decent wage for the hard work we put in.

wait I must have thought I was in the north, ATL would be perfect if it was NY

Atlanta would be a better place if their humidity level was as low as Las Vegas: 5-15%. I can't stand a combination of heat and humidity. This 99 degrees today feels oh, oh, oh so comfortable! And tonight it will cool off, may need a light coat.

....I lived there.

I've visited the city numerous times and have always wanted to live there.

What a great town!

Family, good friends, and HUMIDITY!

I love humidity....

See y'all next time!

... if it wasn't so darned hot and humid for at least half the year.
... if it had a much more extensive subway system like in DC or NYC.

If it had those two things I would move back there in a heartbeat. I love Atlanta otherwise.
