The Braves have a strong cultural following all over the south. Their reach is huge. I grew up in Tennessee, and all the baseball fans from here are Braves fans. I'd imagine you get something similar down into Alabama.
Not sure how old you are, but in the early days of cable TV, Atlanta's WTBS could be seen all over the country, and they broadcast the Braves' games. That is how the Braves got such a large national following.
And that evolved into the Turner Broadcasting empire.

Yes, and Waffle House and Mellow Mushroom.
Atlanta is an economic and transportation hub. I first came here for a couple of years to do an intership which ended up lasting for a couple of years. It was a lot of fun for a 20-something. Always something going on, bars, concerts, restaurants, the Hooch, close to the mountains. It seemed to have a distinct big Southern town vibe....Gone with the WInd, Margaret Mitchell, Ted Turner, Lewis Grizzard, Flossy Mae, Delta, Eastern, Underground, and son on. Came back a few years later for jobs, burbs, schools, and such.
There is a lot of significant Civil War history in Atlanta, but most of the sites were paved over long ago. Kennessaw has been preserved and there are markers all around the city, but few stop to read them.
There is a lot of Civil Rights history here too.
So many folks have moved here from elsewhere, its hard to zoom in on a singular distinctive character, like New Orleans or Boston or San Antonio

Is Atlanta still a major financial center? It was in the late 80s. And it was a cool time to be a resident.

All that being said, I really have no mental image or hook for the city. I think of Atlanta, and the only things that come to mind are Hank Aaron, a big airport, and the SEC Championship.

Houston food scene is no better than any other large city. I'd put them behind most actually.

Atlanta has nothing to offer anyone. Don't come here.

I like Houston for the food scene. Best TexMex food in the world. It’s way too hot and dirty there.
I live in Atlanta and have for 30 years. One thing that no one has mentioned is the hidden gem of city which is Buford Highway between Brookhaven and Doraville.
Fantastic restaurants up and down that stretch of road. From all different nationalities. World class food from hole-in-the-wall to casual to high-end Michelin rated restaurants. It’s the best thing the city has to offer IMO. No bullshite private-equity owned ‘concept’ restaurants like Buckhead (which is obscenely overrated), just miles of authentic owner-operated restaurants that are fantastic. It’s my favorite thing about living here.

Me and my wife did a road trip around the south a few years back and ATL was part of it. Everyolace we went was basically BWW with different branding just mid Wings front and center.
We finally asked so what is yalls big food? What are you known for...turns out it was those wings the whole time.

Are you under the impression that those mountains are farther away from Atlanta?
I never said Atlanta doesn’t have them, or that Nashville was unique. There’s a difference between having something and being known for it.
Houston has the second highest concentration of live theatre seating in the US, behind only NYC. Until reading this, I’d bet almost nobody here knew that.

I've spent time or lived in some big cities .... and often look back on my time in ATL fondly.
Tons of talent, great neighborhoods, a very diverse and good food scene. Arguably, the best place in the country for music on a national touring level.
Yes Downtown sucks, the falcons suck and the traffic can be challenging, but it is a vibrant city and not far from nature.
Anybody that says otherwise has not spent more than a few weeks there. It's a long term play.
