RB, I use to like Atlanta, back in the late 20th century. I had to go there a few times on business, and back then it was a decent, relatively clean city. Went to a Braves game, and went shopping etc., never had any problems, and never felt threatened. I do remember traffic sucked, and if I remember correctly we used a loop to avoid downtown traffic a few times, passing through on the way to Florida. I also remember flying in a couple of times, and the airport was efficient. It's too bad the city has gone down hill. It just goes to show you that urban areas in general, suck.
