It has more in common with la than mayberry, but what does that mean?
Thats true for okc too.
It means it's a ridiculous assertion.
Atlanta has about as much in common with Mississippi as L.A. has with rural Oregon. Despite sharing the same regions, they may as well be on different planets in both cases.
To the OP's original question - I live in and love Atlanta, but I also love L.A. and have some wonderful friends there. In my honest opinion most of my fellow Atlantans that I interact with are outwardly engaging, while the majority of Angelenos are a bit more tentative at first - but warm up quickly.
I could very happily live in L.A., but sadly could never duplicate my quality of life in Atlanta. It's nice that only four hours in the air separate us.
I'm comfortable in stating that at this point in time, Atlanta is very much like a Southern mini L.A.
You aren't able to honestly judge if you've never been.
I agree. When Jane Fonda first moved to Atlanta, she was asked about her initial impressions of it. She replied that it was like L.A. before it went bad LOL.
Yea, la was very different 25-30 years ago.
Its not her quote thats a issue.
Its the argument in general.
I remember her saying it years ago, but can't locate it on Google. It caught my attention at the time. It certainly isn't a reflection of my own feelings about Los Angeles, which I think is a pretty cool city that has definitely been on the upswing since the time in which she would have said that.
I do think one can argue the similarities between L.A. and Atlanta. Both are Sunbelt cities that experienced a postwar boom and have been car-centric since that time.
Im sure there are people her age that want it to be less crowded or hectic.
