I am definitely aware of that. Here's what I gather about Phoenix and Atlanta. (Note, I've been to Phoenix twice, and I've driven through Atlanta (the whole state of Georgia (down 75).
Phoenix: Gorgeous mountains and landscape. Arid. Spread out. Good sports teams. Heavily suburban.
Atlanta: Seems very urban. A lot more options for jobs (from what I gather from what you guys tell me). A lot of entertainment options, etc.
I personally think I may be a little more in my element if I were to choose Atlanta. Reason being, there's a lot of hills and greenery and trees there. Humidity doesn't bother me as I'm used to it in the summers. Though there's not that many days in the 90's where I'm from. It would be a welcome change though.
Both cities would offer mild winters as well. Basically as far as weather goes, Phoenix has its brutal summers, Atlanta has its humidity in the summer as well as a tiny bit of snow in the winter (is it every winter?). Either way, I wouldn't be able to complain about weather in each city. I'd be able to handle them both. (Definitely more than I can handle these brutal and way-too-long winters here in Duluth,MN)
