Is Atlanta really a top city in the US or is that just this forum saying that?

Chicago doesn't border an ocean either.

Atlanta is no Tokyo or Seoul, but to act as if it isn't an important city is ridiculous.

If were talking economic importance in the US, it's top 10.

Chicago is one of the financial powerhouses of the world.
Chicago is an actual city.

The only time im in Atlanta is connecting to fly to a real city.

In fairness once you throw in all of the urban sprawl of Dekalb Fulton, and the rest of the metro counties Atlanta jumps up to about 5 million in the core area

urban sprawl is disgusting

:heh:

You didn't hit a nerve. You are in the NYC Gentrification thread crying about real estate that you don't own. Crying about 18 year old white kids buying property that you negroes practically squatted in for half a century. I'm down South :eat: playboi.

Your multicultural pipe dreams of NY, Chicago, Toronto, LA, etc hasn't materialized well for black economic advancement. Holla at me when that happens. :snooze:

Ouch. I'm from the east coast, but I agree. The only place I can see myself living is the DMV area, ATL, Houston, or even LA (If I was a millionaire). Cats here are literally going broke living in boxes and can't do shyt with their lives.

I grew up in NYC and been in Atlanta for two years, and to me it's a top city, especially if you black. Unlike most the c00ns on this site, that's the thing I love about Atlanta. It's mostly nikkas here :ohlawd:. What would make it better if all the damn whites and asians just fukkin left and let us cook.

Atlanta is a place where if you black and have some hustle, you can make it easy. It's an incredible place to network, and there's always events going on if you want to get your name out there.

Plus the housing is cheap as fukk, and it's even cheaper since the housing market is in the bushes right now. You can get a 2br 2ba condo for 25k, no lie. And no it's not in the burbs. And if you got a little bit of dough, you can get a damn mansion for about 500k

So far, I love Atlanta. I miss Brooklyn cause that's where I grew up, but Atlanta is where my heart is right now :obama:

if you never step foot in atlanta dont talk about it cause youll end up sounding foolish and going off what your "cousin" told you .. we dont talk about yall shytty cities and towns

Atlanta is the best city in the south hands down and in the 5-10 range in the U.S

I didn't mean to get at him like that. I know he was just clowning, but these dudes really need to wake-up. Just like jobs and freedom led many of us up North, we need to relocate like we once we did for better economic opportunities. Really that simple. The South is killing anywhere else in this department especially as it pertains to black Americans. Say what you want people look out for each other down here if you bout something. :yeshrug:

Atlanta is so great for black folk that it tends to get overrated, but it's definitely a top 5-10 city in America for all.

my homie got a big ass house in Lawrenceville cheap as shyt...i go down there to chill every couple months, we go to ATL but it really is nothing special.

Everyone I met there isnt from there, and the ones that are talk like some slow fakkits, and it is apparently home of the fakkits, the amount of fruit cakes i see down there is fukking despicable and i would never wanna live in such a fakkit ass city
