Across the street where? I hope not King and Prussia mall... I have been there at least 9 times and that mall does not have any of those stores... Atlanta has just a few more highend stores than King of Prussia

Well yes the mall does not have all of them only some, but I was only comparing Buckhead to the western edge suburbs (not Philly in total) And many other stores in the main line

And my point is Buckhead is more like many other cities wealthy suburbs than it is like Beverly Hills

King of Prussia - Shop (http://www.kingofprussiamall.com/shop.php - broken link)

BTW - I really am not a fan of KOP, and would take CC Philly over any area in all of ATL, including Buckhead

Im like you I like Street shopping myself. But Buckhead is what we have to deal with until we get that. Center City is nice A like Walnut st. Im use to street shopping being that I am from Miami metro.

Understood, but it is tough to compare boundaries, it feels more suburban than urban even if within the city limits. Many older cities have much smaller land area footprints, I believe it is about 10 or so miles from the CBD of ATL, in Philly that would be outside of the city line, though that line can be grey from city to city

Ok on the whole I agree Buckhead is a very nice area, and as said earlier, I would live there over Beverly Hills in a heartbeat, could be worse, we could be talking about the Woodlands in Houston

Its 5 to 7 Miles and you have to understand southern cities were not built the same way northern cities were. So you cant really compare the north and the south when it comes to developments and establishments. Everything in the South is Suburban when you ask anyone thats from the North. We are use too everything looking that way.
