re: As crime trend reverses, Americans begin to flee key major cities

Most of those contractors are my customer base. Most of my days are spent all over Downtown, Midtown, and Buckhead. I enjoy it during the day and on the nights that I take clients to a Hawks or a Braves game or to dinner but I love cutting out and making a b-line 45 miles due west on I-20 the most.

I guess I have the best of both worlds in a sense. City to country everyday. I am sitting on my porch right now surrounded by hardwoods and after riding 4 wheelers with my son. We took our rods and reels and stopped by the pond in the woods and cast lines for about 20 minutes and caught a few little peckerheads. I will rise again at 5am and put on my office clothes and drive to 191 Peachtree for a morning meeting and then enjoy another day watching the city where I was born (Piedmont baby) progress and grow.

But there is no feeling like driving out of that place in the late afternoon and getting back home to the countryside. Farms, barns, cows. It is a great balance for me.
