These six new high rises were just approved near the Falcon’s Stadium in addition to the massive Centennial Yards project already under construction

New approved buildings breaking ground later this year):



Centennial Yards (already under construction):



This entire area is going to be awesome when completed!

Atlanta is cool because there's almost three downtown looking areas. Downtown proper, Midtown, and Uptown. I think that's right.

It's basically going to be Atlantic Station for downtown.

I like it. Downtown has needed a jolt for a while.

Pretty sure this is the Gulch project talked about for years, not breaking news for ATLiens.

They both suck. It's hard to tell which one sucks more. I will say Houston sucks more because it's an uglier city overall.

I think Houston is worse. I also think Orlando and Miami are both worse

At least Atlanta traffic moves.

Outkast told me that Atlanta was a black man's heaven. Is that true?

I've been twice in the late 90's and had a pretty good time. Is it still a decent place?

I lived in Houston for seven years, and I'm on my 25th year in Atlanta.
1. Atlanta drivers drive faster. Advantage Atlanta.
2. Houston has two loops around the city- Beltway 8 and 610 loop.
Atlanta has one- 285. Advantage Houston.
3. Atlanta has a better rail system (MARTA), which can take you straight to
the airport. Advantage Atlanta.
4. Bad accidents shutting down highways. - See point 2. Atlanta has less
options than Houston when it comes to avoiding those really bad shut-
downs due to accidents. Advantage Houston.
5. a-hole drivers - Houston has more. Advantage Atlanta.
