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.

I think I've been assuming that the Braves moving to the suburbs was proof that the entire downtown and near downtown areas were unpleasant.

Hard to compare city centers in the US now with what they were pre-2020, TBH

Go to Virginia Highland and West Midtown. Great food and bar scene in both neighborhoods.Summerhill, also.

That was the Braves moving closer to their STH base.

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.
