How do you like Atlanta?


When you have visited Atlanta for whatever reason, did you enjoy? And if you did, why? If you didnt, why not? Prefer specifics please :)

I spent a year in Atlanta, and had a mixed experience. Some parts (particularly the suburbs) are phenominal and give you great quality of life at a low cost of living. The city itself, in my opinion leaves something to be desired -- particularly parts of it after dark. Here is some info:

I got this information from here:

It's a nice, clean, young, hip city. Places above I-20 are pretty safe to live. Traffic is a headache... and it's all over the place! Beautiful women but some of them are very materialistic... pretty much the theme down here.

I lived there for almost 10 years and I loved it! I miss it still! I liked all the hills, I never realized it but once I moved to charleston it was so flat there. there wasn't a hill anywhere. I just moved to rock hill and finally hills again! :) anyways about atlanta I liked the weather. I liked downtown atlanta it was pretty cool there. I could go on and on but I love atlanta!
