re: Atlanta is such a shitty Sports Town

I suppose its possible that I need go give the actual city a fairer shake. I've enjoyed midtown in the past. Didn't really care for the downtown are where Georgia Dome and Phillips were.

Any of the Northeast Neighborhoods along the Beltline are great - Midtown, Virginia Highland, Inman Park, Old Fourth Ward, Poncey Highland, Morningside, and even on the southeast side like Reynoldstown, Cabbagetown, and Grant Park have tons of options and things to do and are as safe as anywhere in the metro. Atlanta isn’t for everyone and you don’t have to like it but if you can’t have some fun in those areas doing something I would question what you could have fun doing. And yes, Downtown is a shithole and there’s no reason to even go there it’s been overrun by the homeless by design the city has basically forced them all into an area around Woodruff Park to keep them out of the aforementioned residential areas.

From the city core 75, 85, and 400 are WIDE OPEN going north in the mornings.

---

They are not. I go north on 85 often in the mornings. As I said.
Going south on 75 I see 75 north in the mornings. It is not wide open unless you define wide open differently.

The connecter is gridlock both ways 16 hours a day.

Whatever though. Traffic sucks in Atlanta and the weekends are often the worst.

City and county government is terrible and it’s too late to ever make it better. Continued growth will only make it worse.

You live in Canton. Explain this. How are you doing this? At what time? I leave for work between 6:30 and 7:00. 75, 85, and 400 North are very clear and I’m going 80 mph. It’s hilarious you are acting like I have anything to gain lying about this

I don’t get on the connector I enter after it in the mornings in afternoon going home I jump off at N Druid Hills or Cheshire Bridge or Sidney Marcus. You seem to not know what you are talking about.
Yes, Atlanta traffic sucks when you live in fricking Canton


Which is the whole point of this conversation. I wouldn’t live in Canton for that reason alone you don’t have a reverse commute and it’s way the hell out there and not easy to get to places.

That place makes my skin crawl.

I don’t have a commute at all. I travel all around the city at different times of day.

Sydney Marcus in the afternoon?

You definitely have a different version of what bad traffic is. That whole area is a shithole.

I’d take a picture of 75 north at 7 am next time I’m going south but too much trouble to post it.

75, 85, and 400 North are very clear

Not sure how you are on all three of these every morning.

I wouldn’t live in Canton for that reason

---

I wouldn’t live inside 285 because of the people. So there’s that.

It also helps that the Braves have been consistently good since Truist opened.

---

Absolutely. But the point is they were consistently good at turner field and Fulton county stadium as well.

Atlanta is a great MLB town but a shite NFL/NBA town.

I can't argue this.

You must know the surface streets.

quote:

---

Living in Atlanta, I feel like the traffic isnt as bad as some would make it seem. Either that or maybe I'm just really good at avoiding the traffic.

---

ITP non-freeway traffic is pretty good

The Braves DID NOT move to the suburbs.

Their address is still Atlanta, GA

You can still see downtown Atlanta from the nosebleed seats at Truist lol

My god there are a bunch of Mis informed people on this website about Atlanta. It’s nauseating
