The city proper has been greatly gentrified the last 20 years. There isn't as much ghetto as people think or what used to be. There are still bad areas, like Adamsville, which is adjacent to Six Flags on the other side of the river inside the city limits. That's probably the worst part of the entire city now. I wouldn't drive through there in broad daylight. But other parts of the city are perfectly fine, like West Midtown where my sister and BIL are. Great area. Clean and safe.

Even the West End, which used to be the worst area of the entire city not just a decade ago, has been gentrified w/a lot of new shops and housing. Along w/the beltline running through there.

ETA: And I'm sure this will be ignored by all of the "aLl oF AtLaNtA iS a sHiThOlE" tards.



Anyone who thinks Austell and Mableton is ghetto has never worked for a living or is so country that a crow causes them to hunt a gun...it is an industrial park setting for the most part but it is pretty damn safe in the area. No go back across the river onto Fulton Industrial and you might find some interesting stories to tell but the Cobb County side of the river is merely working people...it ain't the prettiest parts of Atlanta but its about as safe as Atlanta gets.

I mean, look at this board.

FWIW, Six Flags always seemed to be its own thing compared to the rest of the area in terms of attracting trouble.

That area was doomed when the City of Atlanta was blocked from annexing the corridor decades ago, and the combo of unincorporated Fulton County and (later) the city of South Fulton treating it like a red-headed stepchild (except for industrial tax revenue) is why the corridor is what it is.
