I don't see any pedestrians here. It looks like people live the same suburban lives that people in the rest of America live.

I have been to Atlanta several times. It is fast paced. I never said it wasn't. Dallas is also very fast paced. Worst drivers ever.

I think it's safe to say most cities are "fast-paced" in the sense you described. But most regions aren't.

Or even Washington, DC. Could you see Goodfellas being set there? Or The Town with Ben Affleck? If you went to the Water Street theater in Georgetown to see a movie about a bunch of hard-core Irish Catholic thieves living in Arlington, it would certainly get a good chuckle out of the audience. I remember going to the theater to see The Replacements with Keanu Reeves (I was very bored, okay) and there was a bar scene (supposedly in DC) with all of these blue-collar guys. I was like, "Where they do that at?" LOL. Baltimore, perhaps. But even in Baltimore, I never really felt the ethnic tapestry and flavor was the same. It was more black-white.
