Atlanta Overview | An informative introduction to Atlanta, Georgia

Hartsfield is the busiest in the world btw

You forgot to mention Buckhead's skyline, the richest neighborhood in Atlanta, if you considere that, Atlanta's skyline would much longer with Buckhead's modern buildings.

Where are all my dogs at keeping it hundo to the onedo

Atlanta is home to several sports teams such as MLB's Atlanta Braves, NFL's Atlanta Falcons, NBA's Atlanta Hawks, MLS's Atlanta United FC, WNBA's Atlanta Dream and was formerly home to the NHL's Atlanta Flames from 1972-1980 and Atlanta Thrashers from 1999-2011.

A shout out to you for mentioning the importance of metro areas and how they are a better measurement of a city’s size/prominence than city proper population.

Through the years, I’ve seen comments on geography sites where someone goes to the mat to argue that city A is as big as city B because it has a similar or larger city proper population.

In reality, city B is a legacy big city that created, fed, and anchors a massive metro area. As such, it has all of the amenities and attributes of a major city.

City A is often a historically smaller city that has only recently increased population, usually by annexing the communities around it and claiming most of the land in its county. But even with the city proper population increase, in reality it’s still In medium city territory. Its pie didn’t get much bigger, just its piece of the pie. It still has virtually no suburbs or continuous urban area to back it up. As such, it does not have the level of amenities of city B.

I’m not saying that sprawling suburbs and exurbs are a great thing. I’m not saying that at all. They’re just the reality of how major cities in the U.S. have grown/evolved during the last 70 years. It’s the overall market that matters, not just one part of it.

That’s why MSA/CSA or even the Nielsen Media market rankings are a better measure of city sizes.

I was in Atlanta when Delta moved its headquarters there near the end of the 1980s. Our congregation doubled in one week from all the people that moved in from Southern California. Since then that congregation has split into over 10. Areas that were just miles of pasture became filled with homes almost over night.

Atlanta used to have some character, but now it's like McDonalds: corporate, soulless, a place of business only. It's hot, the traffic might be the worst in the nation, crime is rampant, and the police department is in disarray.

you forgot about the lgbtq

Atlanta SUCKS thugs galore

Atlanta is definitely an underrated city

Boston has a greater population than Atlanta

Terrible! Terrible! Terrible!

After a very bad experience in TX and MX, which place should I start? Atlanta, Charlotte, Raliegh or Denver? Something different to start a new life and meet new people's.

MUCH LOVE TO ATLANTA FROM CINCINNATI. 💯

I from Jacksonville Florida we're the largest city in Florida but my hometown is boring there are some fun parts and the beach but thats it. When people think of Florida its either Orlando, Miami, Tampa or Key West not Jacksonville. Atlanta looks so much cooler than my hometown.

Great content. I myself and fascinated with City skylines. But just a touch on the subject or maybe I misunderstood. But in North America the city of Tuscaloosa was also burned it was the capital of Alabama and then move to Birmingham for a short time before its final home in Montgomery. Now I know it wasn't burned on the scale that Atlanta was burned but it was still a city that suffered that same fate down the Civil War

Fantastic video
I really enjoyed it
Thank you

Better get fire insurance.

Wonderful video, my only gripe is the lack of mentioning the growing tech scene in Atlanta. Microsoft and Google have corporate offices and there's plenty of logistics companies.

Never trust a chic from Atlanta they to boochi will set u up

Thanks for making this video! I am from Atlanta, and I think your depiction of Atlanta is spot-on! Great job!

Miami Florida is a different lifestyle.

Love Atlanta, but feel like Hallandale beach Florida is a growing city like there with so much to do, restaurants and beaches and bars.

Awesome video! God bless. Always remember that Jesus Christ loves you all so much! Jesus Christ forgives all sins. Jesus Christ is God, King, and Savior!❤️🙏 Praying for you, please pray for me. Merry Christmas!

Atlanta is becoming the Hollywood of the south

They do in for New York Los Angeles miami new Orleans Chicago and Boston San Diego and Livermore california

Stranger Things shooting was done here only I guess, correct me if I am wrong.

Going to turn into a rathole. Property is sky rocketing and more people are struggling to stay off the streets. City rats are moving to the suburbs and suburbanites are moving to the mountains. Used to be a very inexpensive place. No more.

TO HELL YOU GO ATLANTA GENERAL ELECTRIC
TO HELL YOU GO HILTON, JP MORGAN CHASE, ADAMS! MONSTERS!

Should I skip Thursday and Friday of school and travel to Atlanta for 4 days or Stay at school and miss the opportunity of a lifetime?

With Kemp winning, I hope I can visit Georgia someday with my concealed carry being honored from Florida. I would love to visit the beautiful city.

The streets also GLITTER !! Those that seen it knows what I'm talking about.

One of the best things I love about here is that you have a major airport plus you can be in the mountains or at the beach in a few hours.

Washington DC was burned in an act of war

Everything looks old...😴

I love what you do!! I’d love to see a video about Buffalo NY

!

Thanks for the video!

The city of Atlanta is like one giant playground, always something to do, always something to go see, the aquarium, the Braves, Stone Mounting, MLK's house, the locations where they filmed Stranger Things, it's an amazing and exciting city to go too.

Fun city but very unfriendly to families unless you're willing to live in the boonies. Wages are bad and housing is super expensive.

Correction: Phoenix, Arizona is the largest capital city in the U.S., 1.65 million.

I'm waiting on Chicago, 👋

I am totally a homer for ATL. ATL has a lot of potential, a lot of work to do, and the dreamers and doers to make it happen.

SN: did you include Buckhead in your skyline analysis? Despite what some may try, Buckhead is still Atlanta

Great videos! Glad I’m not the only one enthralled by US city skylines.

ATL is the best

Atlanta is NOT the only North American city to be burned down in an act of war… Jackson, Mississippi, also a state capital, was burned to the ground not once, but twice, during the Civil War, earning it the nickname of Chimneyville, because that’s all that was left. Thanks, generals Grant and Sherman.

Nice general review of the city.

Waoooo tempat yang sangat keren sekali, sukses selalu my Friend

Atlanta has no skyline. There's absolutely nothing that stands out. Other cities have something unique, such as the space needle, the arch, or the empire state building. We have nothing.

I beg to differ about Atlanta being recession proof. Due to Atlanta having the busiest airport in the world, because it is 2 hour flight or less to 3/4 of the US population, it has a huge number of sales and marketing Headquarters for Fortune 500 companies. During recessions, companies typically cut sales and marketing personnel to save overhead costs. So, during the last housing crisis Atlanta had one of the highest rate of housing foreclosures in the country (only behind Las Vegas). I have lived here in the Atlanta metro for over 25 years, and find very little in the way of tourist attractions, and very few free attractions worth seeing. But, because of the airport there are many conventions in town because of the central location for flights. But, there is little in the way of pure tourism. I would say that Atlanta would rank near the bottom of the largest metro areas in the country for tourist attractions IMHO.
