Atlanta Rising: The Invention of an International City 1946-1996 | 
ATLANTA
1. It's cultural - the art, music and theater scenes are all 👏👏
2. It feels like a small town and the people are genuinely friendly
3. It has progressive and liberal values and celebrates the LGBTQ community
4. I grew up here, left after college, but came back to raise a family here - that says it all
5. If you love to run or hike - there are tons of wooded trails outside your door and lots of people who will join you #5thingsilove
Magpiegem Until recently I flew for BA and for a while Atlanta was my second home. I tried to get ATL whenever I could. I just love it there. You are right wonderful people, wonderful place ❤️ even though no one could ever pronounce my name 😄 7y
RiotMom The majority of my family is from Atlanta and surrounding areas. I've spent so much time there that it feels like second home. ❤️ 7y
Debiw781 I love Atlanta! There's always something to do there 😊 7y

LauraBeth @Magpiegem 😂😂 I believe that! Although what's weird is that the husband is a Jorge and when we lived in NYC everyone pronounced it the English way but everyone in Atlanta pronounces it the Spanish way 🤔 7y
LauraBeth @RiotMom that's nice to have family here because then you can always visit 😀 7y
LauraBeth @Debiw781 very true 😀 7y

Reggie I went there in 2013 to go see Jill Scott in Chastain Park. I loved it. I had chicken and waffles, got hooked on sweet tea, went to the aquarium. It was a nice city. I had a great time. 7y
kissxxmyxxconverse My mom and I took a trip there a few weeks ago and we both loved it! I loved Fox Theater and the Center for Civil and Human Rights. Not to mention, we happened upon the bookstore Charis 📚🙌🏻 7y
