Thread title is self explanatory...

Basically I've gotta get the fukk out of the Raleigh/Durham area and am just looking to start my life anew, and Atlanta is obviously a place that gets plenty positive press.

Background is I'd basically be starting my life over there... or wherever I go, I'm just looking to move somewhere where I don't know anybody and can just get my life together. I don't wanna leave the Southeastern region though just in case I change my mind later, lol.

WTF do you do?

but ATL shyts on RDU

You can find a really nice place for cheap if u dont care about being in or close to the hood. Places like Lithonia and the SWATS have some places with great amenties if u dont mind putting up with some rachet behavior and the occasionally nikka moments.

they also far as fukk from anything major, the gas millege will kill you, not to mention the maintenance on your car

Im at the airport, so i have a few minutes to break it down.
Straight up, ATL fell off in the early 2000s. Just being real. The city became Alot of interesting ppl left after Arista and Laface went out of biz. Alot of the famous ppl moved out west. Ray Lewis and Big Meech set the nite life scene back 10 years (atl heads know what i mean). Property values sunk like the rest of America, but unlike the the rest, we had a influx of Katrina cats and Section 8 vouchers flooded the suburbs after all the projects were demolished in the 2000s. Whereas before it was simple to get a job, jobs became scarce for a while. ATL was a shell of its former self.

BUT

Recently, ATL is mounting a comeback. Tyler perry is the new laface and he bought to buy up the city and turn this bytch into black Hollywood. The club scene is on its way back over the 4th ward and other areas such as Peters street. Its nowhere near as dead as it used to be, its just more spread out. Property values are slowly but surely creeping back up. The housing market hasn't been this good since the bubble burst. The school rankings are improving in such counties as Gwinnet and Cobb. Jobs are coming back in sectors such as biomedical and manufacturing. Kasim reed has also did a good job with building up some quality of life stuff downtown with the Civil Rights and College Football Hall of Fame, the trolleys, the entertainment factor in the city is improving. The strip clubs are top 3 in the nation. The women top 3 in the nation (i dont acknowledge cacs), the cost of living value Top 3 in the nation. Overall i dont think the A will ever fully get back to its glory era of 90-2001....but i think by 2017 when everything is up and running (beltline, the new soccer/football stadium etc).....atl should be close to being back as the shyt. If we could just do something about the shytty transport systems ie the clogged highways, hillbilly-like snow mgt, and the Marta......

I'm considering making that move on to the A. Been here in Alabama for 11 years and ready for a new scenery.

Like anyplace you move to, make sure you have some interviews or a job lined up, it's still kind of hard trying to find something decent outside of retail, restaurant, or warehouse work.

Gotta equate that Morning/afternoon traffic on 20 during the week. Hell all the highways in the metro area
