FTA..."It has a modern highway system, a superb public transportation system consisting of buses and MARTA (the metro system),"


I'm pretty sure, based on this statement alone, that whoever wrote the article has never been here. Transportation is Atlanta's Achilles heal unfortunately, partly due to sheer volume and partly due to poor planning. Imagine taking three major interstates and a major state artery and having them all merge/meet in the middle of the city and you'll have a perfect understanding of the term "bottleneck".





That being said Atlanta is a great town and great town to be single in. Tons of great restaurants, music venues, sporting events, festivals and a whole host of activities to be involved in. It's hard to be bored here if you're willing to put effort in to getting out and doing things.

I totally agree with mjt1st! There are so many incorrect statements in this "article" that I cannot ennumerate them all. Where to go, how to get there, what to wear when you go. I am a native Atlantan and I love Atlanta. There is so much to do here but don't base any activities on this article without checking further.

I've never been to most of the places they list. The best thing I find about Atlanta is that there are so many different things to do, you never seem to exhaust the possibilities.


I think the author exagerates the public transit; MARTA isn't nearly as developed as the BART/MUNI system in California, or the subways of NY. However,I have to disagree with the general perception that traffic is so bad in Atlanta. I've lived here for a while now, and I still think travelling in Atlanta beats every other city I've lived in. It's true that there can be tie upsduring rush hour, but I've seen worse bottlenecks in Tampa, FL (which isn't nearly as large as Atlanta).

One of the best first date ideas is Cafe Intermezzo in Atlanta. It is really romantic but inexpensive. There are 2 locations - one in Buckhead and one in Dunwoody.

There are a lot of choices when it comes to Atlanta, its a matter of what you'd be interested in doing.

I would love to meet people who date interracially , but I have no idea how to go about meeting these people! I have lived in Atlanta for nine years, now, but it seems like I'm new... If you can help, please advise me. Oh, live in the Stockbridge area.

1990's called: they want the term "hotlanta" back. NO ONE who actually lives in ATL refers to the city as Hotlanta.
