It's not like Houston, Dallas, Miami, Minneapolis, Portland, St Louis, Phoenix, Cleveland, Tampa, Kansas City, or other multi million 2 - 6 million metro in the US does either.






Also you made an error Downtown and Midtown together is Atlanta core not just Downtown. Downtown is a north American term that applies to cities "Central Business district." cause most American cities have one Central Business district at it's center. But this doesn't always apply. Just cause Midtown Atlanta doesn't have the term "Downtown" doesn't change it's continuation as part of the core.

You basically criticize Downtown and midtown separately. Then took Downtown Atlanta by itself to represent Atlanta core than said I feel Atlanta's core is weaker relative to its metro size than even other Southern cities.

what southern metros are you talking about? Only like New Orleans and Miami have a denser and more active core than Atlanta in the South. New Orleans obvious is the most urban core in the south and one of the most in the country. Miami is very questionable with street activity and urbanity at it's core but it boom the 3 largest amount of tower. But outside of that

Dallas and Houston posters would tell you Atlanta core feel more urban, Atlanta is older they didn't pass Atlanta until the 30's and 50's. their CBD are less populated, ringed by freeways, and and they have nothing adjusted to their Downtown's like Midtown, so can't be talking about them.

Nashville, and Memphis have very active entertainment districts but their core are no where near as urban as Atlanta. And you can't be talking about NC cities.



My point what your calling "mediocre" about Atlanta would be even worst in most other southern metros.

And Comparing Atlanta to Copenhagen is basically an extreme standard. Even America most urban cities Philly and Boston are less urban compared Copenhagen.

If this rant doesn't change the OP's mind, nothing will. Dude, just stop!

You have a weaboo screen name like "shunketsu" so I'd assume you would fit right in with "alternative lifestyles".

Surprised you aren't comparing midtown to Tokyo.

Plenty of Asians and Asian themed events here as well as at least 1 or 2 large anime cons (AWA, Momocon). You would fit right in.

I'm confused are you telling OP to stop or are being sarcastic and telling me to stop cause you do better by telling me where I'm wrong in that post.

You can see the level of thinking of the average poster on here. Instead of asking this board prior to visiting where the walkable areas are they instead come and complain. I actually think this is a troll post because of all the people walking to the Dogwood Festival in Midtown this weekend.

To be fair, OP did inquire prior to visit which areas they should check out. (Someone posted a link to this earlier in this thread.) However, most people provided answers that weren't "Midtown" so I'm not sure why Midtown was such a focus (I know the OP said they heard about it from marketing promotions but if they asked specifically on this forum I'm not sure why the advice to check out many other areas wasn't followed.)

Anyway, to each his own!

My God people. Someone comes in and shared their thoughts on visit and stated more than "I liked this" or "I didn't like" that and many here blast them for it. Mainly because they described what they didn't like.

Amazing.

Midtown actually looks a little bit like the Shinjuku disctrict of Tokyo. Obviously Midtown is not nearly as densely packed, but the architectural styles are similar, plus there is the Shinjuku Gyoen, a large garden park which looks very similar to Piedmont Park.

I'm speaking to you. The OP has made up his/ her mind. To continue trying to convince the OP otherwise, is an exercise in futility. I'm not suggesting that you are wrong or right. You are, however, wasting your time.

Hey, if your location is a 4 corner room... shouldn't your username be FourSides?

No . A four cornered room is a metaphor for the mind. Four Cornered Room is one of my favorite songs, by one of my favorite bands: WAR. It has NOTHING to do with Atlanta. Threesides refers to understanding. There's my side, your side, and the truth. I'm not philosophical, at all!

By the way, this is my favorite Atlanta video. If I didn't live here, their analysis would make me want to visit. It's well done, whether I agree with everything, or not.
