I would say Peachtree is more important to Atlanta than Wilshire is to LA. I've only flown in to Atlanta so not sure which is more fun.

I think Hollywood Blvd is more essential to LA than Wilshire Blvd and Peachtree is the most important street in Atlanta so I would say Peachtree rd.

Hollywood Blvd is most def not essential to Los Angeles. It is a tourist zone and that is it. Wilshire blvd is the most important street in Los Angeles, for me it is not even close. Wilshire hits all of the most major economic centers and is the most dense corridor in LA county. It goes through DTLA, Koreatown, Miracle Mile, DT Beverly Hills, Westwood, Brentwood, & DT Santa Monica.

Peachtree is like a Wilshire light.

Have you been to LA? Wilshire connects Santa Monica, Westwood/Century City, Beverly Hills, Miracle Mile, Koreatown, and Downtown Los Angeles

Hollywood blvd runs from Crescent Heights/Laurel Canyon to Sunset Blvd in Echo Park. Hardly as essential

Did you mean Sunset Blvd? I think that's much more important to LA than Hollywood Blvd. Right?

I'd say Wilshire. Both streets are the spine of their respective cities. If Peachtree is more important to Atlanta than Wilshire is to LA, it's only because the Atlanta city limits are much smaller than LA city limits and Peachtree is a shorter road.

Transportation wise Wilshire is the busiest bus corridor outside of NYC and will be the spine of the subway once it's extended to Westwood. It's busy for it's entire distance and hits many of our major job destinations.
