Has any one suggested the OP move along the buford hwy corridor?

Does he work for a carniceria?

For all the ATL haters, go spend a day at Piedmont Park and along the eastside beltline neighborhoods. It's among the best in-town living you'll find in the southeast. I can hop on my bike from midtown and easily access great parks, restaurants, and bars while hardly even dealing with road traffic. This time of year especially is really fantastic to live in any of the connected eastside neighborhoods.

You clearly know nothing about this town if you think it is divided into those four areas.

My neighborhood--Druid Hills/Fernbank/Chelsea Heights is about as lilly white as they come, from here west to Morningside/VaHi/Midtown,east to NW Decatur and South to Lake Claire, Candler Park and SW to Inman Park are all similar. We are nowhere near buckhead.

Oakhurst is 2miles south of me and is yuppie haven, and Kirkwood is tipping in that direction. Keep going SW, and Edgewood/Reynoldstown/E Atl/Grant Park/Ormewood are all on the transitioned side of transitional.

When I commuted downtown (191 and Ptree Ctr), it took me 10-20 mins. 20 was if everything went wrong.

I can run a marathon through 80% trails from my house. There are parks the ave carpetbagger doesn't even know about. Trees abound. There's a lovely creek in my backyard. The Hooch is in the middle of town. Yellow River is ITP (ish). As I've mentioned, you've got mtns within a very short drive.

It isn't a great cultural mecca, and I am still here only because I can escape easily and other circs. But there are many worse places to live, especially if you do ATL right.

Thanks

Brand was the biggest thing. Provides a bit more mobility nationally than some of the other programs nearby.

Might be heading that route before long if I were to get a requisite gmat if/when the time comes. I'd like to do IB and I think I'll have a hard time cracking bulge or mid without a decent MBA.
