That is your opinion and I respect that, but I do not believe that a newer city like Atlanta should be as run down and crime filled as Atlanta is currently.

Run down compared to what? Let me ask you.....How do you feel about North Philly and Camden NJ compared to the new Atlanta as being run down...and where was Atlanta run downed at b/c I'm sure you wasn't in those neighborhoods...

Compared to other newer sunbelt cities. Atlanta is a war zone in some areas.

True indeed....It's the black San Francisco when it comes to gays, but Atlanta is a nice city for entertainment I must say...

Something tells me you watch too much TV. Most every city in this country has gang problems and if you don't think so you are just fooling yourself.

No worse than Houston in some areas, which is probably the most comparable Sunbelt city to Atlanta.

Not that it really matters, but why do you seem to hate Atlanta so much?

That show is the perfect example of how the media can make a mountain out of mole hill. Those LGF guys were a joke, in the late 90's when they were actually active they preyed on people in the suburbs, they wouldnt dare go to a half way "hard" area in the inner city, nor even think about coming into a real slum like the Bluff. Atlanta has it problems with crime, but LGF is not one of them.

If your not gay then why are you worried about them??? For a young single 20 something like me all it does is make it easier for me to win with the ladies. People who are not gay, but yet always are concerned about what gay people do or stuff like that always come off as suspect in my book. Like if your not a Hockey fan, why are you worried about who won the MVP in the NHL last year?

And of course I am going to say Atlanta as it is my home town, but I f***s with Houston though, the long way ya dig? LOL. But seriously the two times I have been to Houston I had fun. Not an expert on the city but I have a few friends from Houston and they are cool with me.
