Yes. Here is hoping it starts a broader trent. Atlanta's downtown is behind the curve of a lot of downtowns across the country in terms of a revival. It still seems like an abandoned wasteland compared to downtowns around the world. In most cities it is a safe bet that downtown will be the center of the action and bustling. We need to get back to that.

So yeah, it's cool that Coca-Cola is moving downtown away from these geniuses.

the fact that the image you posted doesn't come from wikipedia:

https://www.google.com/search?q=iq+r...w=1680&bih=825

it's mentioned on 8 different websites. they are, in order of popularity:

  • 4chan
  • a Swedish neo-nazi blog
  • a recreational fishing website
  • a left-libertarian website
  • politics forum
  • reddit
  • 4chan (again)
  • Patheos (a religious discussion website)
and the source of the image you posted is 'america first books', a zeitgeist ultra-right wing conspriracy theory website. and their book that touted the chart you showed above was written by kevin strom, the former manager of National Vanguard, which is a nazi group:

National Vanguard (American organization) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


he's the former manager because he went to jail on 10 counts of child pornography.


so, what were you saying? i can't hear you through the white hood.

I am 28 and I don't know a single person my age that has any desire to be downtown outside of events at Phillips/Georgia Dome and that is just because they happen to be there.
Downtown is actually a very nice area to work. During business hours, it's super busy and you definitely get that big city feel. And it's not like you have to live downtown to work there. It would be a super easy commute on Marta from Midtown... Although, this 26 year old currently living in Midtown, would not mind living Downtown

Well, Cobb county shouldn't have ferociously opposed MARTA at every opportunity then. It's only going to hurt them in the long run as intown Atlanta continues its urban revival.

Somehow I don't think Cobb County is losing any sleep about being hurt by not having MARTA run through it.......

Losing 1000 jobs to Downtown will change that Bob! They will either get on board or be left in the dust. Time will tell.

It's not too expensive for a whole lot of folks.

A white supremacist would not admit to have a lower IQ then Asians.

There is not other reason why blacks have lower SAT scores with the same upbringing and thatbis what me and GTCORNDOG are trying to say.
