Just moved to town. How's the h scene in Atlanta? H was huge out west...hope the same is true for Atlanta!
Bump.
I may move to Atlanta in the future for work. Anyone have any opinions on the city?
Is it cool??
Half a million people - a bit smaller than boston. I could deal with that. I love small, walk-able cities.
I've lived in Texas before. Both SA and Austin for several years. I've been to HTX several times and I think the culture is very interesting. To each their own, I'm sure some people could and would say the same thing about NO being "ghetto" and also very dangerous. All three of those cities are fairly diverse because as we all know it's 2019 and they all are major cities. Plenty of diversity in all three cities. All have amazing food, cheaper housing than the NE and all have equally interesting but different backgrounds and cultures. If you would rather "brush your teeth w/ a razor" than live in HTX that's on you, but I would also say perhaps you should open your mind and experience for yourself as it is an amazing city with MANY opportunities.
Madness, interesting, I live in Mass too but have been seriously considering moving to ATL. I have been to the city many times, and know my way around for the most part. It is a somewhat "walkable" city BUT it def is better to have a vehicle and/or take metro. It does have a somewhat small City vibe and I've never had any issues with crime. I have hung out on the westside, Vine city, bankhead as well as East Atlanta, bouldercrest Rd. There is always something going on on the weekends which is really cool. No matter what type of music your into, rap/country/rock/hippie/reggae it's all there and often pretty cheap compared to a show in Beantown. Also prices for housing are much better, if you pay $1500 for an apt in the NE with that money you can find a much nicer place in ATL or the area surrounding it. Even rent a small house depending on where you want to live. I'm originally from Philly, and go back n forth from Springfield MA and there but I'm super sick of the Northeast and have been seriously considering a more permanent move down south. For me it was between ATL, Houston, and NO.
