Lets see then. Prove me wrong if I'm wrong. My answers for Atlanta are in red.
- Name as least one concert venue in any of those cities that had over 15 homegrown R&B/soul/jazz concerts this year? Not talking about national tours or regional tours. Homegrown meaning these concerts are only in said city.
- What huge events or a combination of events on a particular weekend brought in at least 70k blacks to any of those city from Sept to Oct of this year?
Neighborhood Awards -100k blacks (First week in Aug) Hair Show - 70k+ blacks (2nd week in Aug) House in the park, Caribbean Jerk Chicken Festival, Wolf Creek concerts on labor day weekend (75k+) BET Hip Hop Awards + A3C Music Festival (70k) (This weekend)
- What underground/art/soul/underground hip hop venues can I go to that cater to the artsy/soul music crowd? Say that I'm looking for a venue that plays maybe house music or soul music or some underground/classic hip hop?

Now don't throw out any BS because I will Google search it to make sure its correct.
I've answered most, if not all of these questions based on Houston. Will you please stop making the criteria based on Atlanta? You're trynna make this an unfair comparison.
So looking at the Black "creative" communities in these cities (artists, musicians, dancers, actors, photographers, models, fashion/graphic designers and writers), the order looks like this.
New York - 12,025
Los Angeles - 6,185
Atlanta - 5,525
Washington - 5,020
Chicago - 4,305
Miami - 2,695
Houston - 2,680
Dallas - 2,550
Philadelphia - 2,520
Detroit - 1,995
Bay Area - 1,987
Boston - 434

See, you say things like that and then wonder why you find yourself in heated disagreements with people so often. You might not have to "agree to disagree" so much if you would try being a little more objective.
Yes, he's very condescending. He's a transplant though so I wouldn't pay him any mind. Now i hope the thread can go on in peace .

This doesn't answer my question. Let me expand the question. Do you mean Atlanta has more to offer speaking for only the Black population or the for the entire population as a whole? If you're talking about Black population only, notice I didn't disagree with you as a whole. But if you're talking about the entire population which includes all ethnic backgrounds, etc., I did disagree with you on this.
