Atlanta - Not the worst, not the best
-
7/7/2015
I've lived in Atlanta and/or the Atlanta area for over 20 years. I know there are worse places than Atlanta but I also know there are better places. I am an environmentalist who feels most at home in a coastal city (I grew up in the Boston area). I find Atlanta to be (mostly) anti-intellectual, conservative and close-minded and stuck with the legacy of racial conflict. Things may eventually get better here but not on a timeline that matters to me and my family. I don't want to condemn my kids to driving half of their lives. If you are conservative leaning, came from someplace less interesting than Atlanta, and aren't into water or the environment you will be fine.
