Skip your rants are boring me now and going back to ignoring your posts with not responding, just not worth the time for this lunacy

This is all you Atlantans do, make excuses.

"No one believes the census here in Atlanta, we're above it..."
"Wells Fargo just became nationwide"
"Atlanta's economy sucks because Dallas and Houston have oil and DC has fed govt"
"Atlanta is the black mecca" someone calls it oreo and then backlash starts "your racist"

Bunch of kitty whiners in Atlanta. Point is SunTrust is a 3rd tier regional bank doesnt even put you on the level of competing with Charlotte. Miami has regional banks also some examples being US Century Bank, a branch of Visa International, etc

Miami is also the Global US HQ for financial firms from Latin America like Espirito Santo Financial Group, etc.. you know international financial groups from overseas countries... exactly what Atlanta doesnt have. Want to know more about Miami finance? Go and look it up

Philly os like a second home to me and it has gotten only better after many years decline and even stagnation but its still got some ways to go before it is completely back on track.

Where exactly are Penn, Drexel, and Temple located. Also Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Thomas Jefferson Hospital, Temple University Hosptial, Hahnemann Hospital, And philadelphia surpasses boston in tourism rates just sayin. Lastly, boston is as good as it will ever be, philly still has a lot of room to improve but remains impressive where it is now. Bottom line boston=over rated.
