I am proud to say that i'm Atlanta native and I can't change that. It's crazy because our city is growing rapidly fast and getting more diverse by the minute. I mean the economy is good,more developments under construction,more jobs and housing, which something we not use to here in Atlanta.One thing i'm very shocked about is that all these big-time companies moving there HQ's from cities like; Chi,LA,SF,NY,NJ etc. here to Atlanta (I gues they want that good Atlanta style and taste) and while that's happening we taking everyone spots away, (New Hollywood, HQ CITY and so on). Also One thing I will also like to say is that our city is making better decisions and focusing on being more green and having more transit options here......Our Downtown/Midtown area is starting to actually feel like how suppose to be, even the nightlife is better than it's been in years.Now that we finally got some new coaches and staff for all of our teams this year,so hopefully we can gets some rings, so our city could be even more proud about an Atlanta fan.
I can't wait see what our future holds in 5 years (2020).But does anyone else feels the same way that I feel?
BTW, I LOVE YOU ATLANTA!

Yeah, it is a really exciting time to be in the city. A lot of indicators are showing this is the biggest boom in recent history if not ever for Atlanta. The amount of relocations into the city and new buildings popping up all over really is amazing.

It's one thing to pull Headquarters from other cities into your town but the really great cities are known for starting and growing their own mega companies. Atlanta has done this in the distant past with Coca Cola, Turner Networks, and Delta but recently I'm really excited about what's going on in the tech world. We are developing a focal point where there is a critical mass of all the things needed for tech start ups in Midtown. Georgia Tech, the Tech Center, and a cluster of tech companies that have moved there along with start ups and more in Alpharetta means Atlanta will be more and more poised to compete with other tech centers across the Nation. And hopefully a real tech giant, or several, will call Atlanta it's founding home some day soon.

The economic momentum is obvious. I believe Atlanta will not only be a larger hub for film production by 2020 but technology also.

All these tech and biotech companies have announced expansions just over the past 2 months..

Salesloft
BetterCloud
MiMedx
Varian Med Systems
ClickDemensions
Cisco
Home Depot IT
ShareCare
Prime Revenue

It goes on and on..
