Quote HistoryQuoted: Hit me up, I'd love to entertain an Arfcommer. I'm 5 min from the airport and self employed so depending what you're into I could show you around my beloved city. And dont listen to the suburbanites regarding the ghetto stigma of the city. Its only like that to the people who've never lived in a city... Five years at Georgia Tech, I think I've lived in a city :-) Techwood "Residence Hall", built as part of the original government housing project, but as a dorm for GT, separated from the rest of the neighborhood by a fence with barbed wire... Now I go downtown primarily for DragonCon or work, and avoid it the rest of the time. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I was sent to ATL on business a couple weeks ago, family owned business that travels cheaply. Show at the convention center and we stayed by Turner Field. If my Illinois permit was valid in GA, I would have been carrying (need to pick up a Utah or Florida Permit). If I never return to ATL again, it would be too soon. It is amazing how quickly you go from a decent neighborhood into the hood. There was a church not but a block or two from the hotel. Their vans were in a 5 sides cage, four walls and a chain link "roof," and the vans were pulled under a device made from 4 inch pipe so that the hoods couldn't be opened. Supposedly, the trick is to stay in the north portion of the city and ride the metro in. Dude, anything outside "The Perimeter" is no man's land. Far, far north is where it's at but you miss all the 'culture.' Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

If you like Italian food and don't mind driving a little North of Atlanta go to Provinos, preferably in Alpharetta, my hometown. That's all I can offer as I rarely went downtown. Just ate at the one in Roswell about a week ago. It is impossible to leave there hungry. Provino's (and Scallini's in Cobb, same owners) is 'ok' Italian. Same as Rio Bravo to Mexican food. In the north side, Casa Nueva is the choice for Italian and its in Alpharetta to boot. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Back from Atlanta and we enjoyed the trip. Didn't need a car at all, so that was a waste of money and I'm glad my employer paid for that. Uber or walking was sufficient. The weather was fine; upper 80s and low enough humidity so this West Coast boy didn't suffer. We never did get out of town, the day we could have we instead just hung by the hotel pool.
We had dinner at the Vortex. I had their signature Coronary Bypass burger. It was a fun place and I like their attitude. The Sundial on top of the Westin does have great views, as does the Skylounge. We spent Friday at the Center for Civil and Human Rights and then the Aquarium, but skipped the World of Coca Cola. We also skipped Underground Atlanta after reading Yelp reviews as well as comments here. Apparently it has seen better days. Midtown was much better. Atlantic Center has good shopping, according to my wife. We drove through Buckhead and viewed some pretty estate homes. I did for a five mile run throughout Piedmont Park in Midtown. Nice place and clearly lots of things to do there for the locals. I ran the two miles back to my hotel in downtown; the sidewalks on Piedmont could certainly do with some repair, but no worse than many other cities. All in all I liked Atlanta. |

I've been working in Atlanta for 25 years, it's a great place to be. Situational awareness is recommended, but that can be applied anywhere. Next time you're at the Vortex, try the wings. The Atomic Death sauce is just trying to scare you. My favorite burger is the Blue Shroom and Bacon burger. Y'all come back now, ya hear! |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Glad you survived I must say I don't understand that. What was I supposed to "survive"? Atlanta is clearly not a poor city. It doesn't have a unusually high street crime rate. The downtown area and midtown had few panhandlers, probably due to enforcement of no-panhandling laws (there were signs). There were some homeless people camped in some places, no more or less than other major cities. I was warned in GD about New Orleans, Memphis, and now Atlanta, told to keep my head on a swivel, always be armed, etc. In all three cities I neither witnessed nor encountered anything that would remotely justify such concern. And I do know how to recognize such things, and I see it mostly in dead-end little towns with little opportunity. Places like Gary, Indiana come to mind. I happened to pull off the freeway there in 2010 to fix something on my car, and yeah, that's a place you can say "glad you survived" about. Seriously, what justifies the concern about Atlanta? |

OH! IF YOU GO TO WORLD OF COKE . . . DO NOT DRINK THE BEVERLY. I can only imagine that the main ingredient is wrung from the intestines of three day dead human carcasses that have been boiling in the sun for days, but constantly wet down to retain some skank juice for the drink. 
I remember that garbage from an elementary school field trip, in fact that is the only part of that trip that stuck out in my head. As far as the city, go to the GA Aquarium and eat at The Varsity (historical fast food joint) or The Vortex (awesome burgers and people watching). If you do the night life thing, the Clairmont Lounge is definitely a memorable place, if you like PBR and old hooker strippers it will be a fun time- best enjoyed too-drunk and with a group of too-drunk friends. Stone Mountain is also a cool place, you can climb the mountain for some good views of the state, but there's not much else in that area except ghetto suburban sprawl. Alpharetta/Roswell is a nice area with fancy malls, swanky restaurants, and a bunch of shit I can't afford. Stay north of the city, there's nothing on the southside of interest, unless you like hoodrats and toothless Waffle House waitresses. I lived within 30 min of downtown for most of my life, and I can't think of anything else to recommend except get in your car and drive north until you hit Dahlonega. Everything from there and further north is beautiful country. |

You havent lived till you visit the clairmont lounge. Make sure Blondie's working. http://0.media.collegehumor.cvcdn.com/54/62/34351e3b92e94406706caa0194d64611.gif Yep, OP don't listen. Clairmont is a hipster strip club, Blondie is a 100 year old stripper with tits down to her ankles. The Cheetah if strip clubs are your thing. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Hey!

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I must say I don't understand that. What was I supposed to "survive"? Atlanta is clearly not a poor city. It doesn't have a unusually high street crime rate. The downtown area and midtown had few panhandlers, probably due to enforcement of no-panhandling laws (there were signs). There were some homeless people camped in some places, no more or less than other major cities. I was warned in GD about New Orleans, Memphis, and now Atlanta, told to keep my head on a swivel, always be armed, etc. In all three cities I neither witnessed nor encountered anything that would remotely justify such concern. And I do know how to recognize such things, and I see it mostly in dead-end little towns with little opportunity. Places like Gary, Indiana come to mind. I happened to pull off the freeway there in 2010 to fix something on my car, and yeah, that's a place you can say "glad you survived" about. Seriously, what justifies the concern about Atlanta?

Don't you know 300 people, mostly criminals themselves, were killed last year in a metro of 6 million people? |
