My OPINION: If you're worried about crime and are planning on living in the suburbs of either it's a wash you'll be safe. Depends really if you like the Midwest or South's bundle of scenery, things to do and culture, both are good, if had to choose between the two I'd take Atlanta. They're not so far apart that you can't go from one to the other and Atlanta's airport rocks you can go anywhere from there. Good luck ����

Reason: Misspell!
Also as you know Atlanta's huge and spread out but manageable, its metro is probably 6 Million where St Louis is 2.8M. Some people feel better in a smaller city. My brother relocated to St Louis from the NYC area a few years ago (his wife is from there!) and wants to move to a sunnier less wintering area. Another cool thing about Georgia is you're close to Savannah and Charleston and the ocean if that matters!

Yes! The spread out at Atlanta doesn't bother me but that is my fiance's main issue with Atlanta. "It takes an hour to get anywhere" Also he worries about traffic.

It takes an hour to get anywhere in a lot of places. That may be urban traffic, suburban distance and traffic, or semi-rural, rural.

I've lived in Atlanta. Your basic needs can be found in a 2 mile radius, like most major cities. The 'spread out' idea is so overblown.

If you feel you or your husband will be traveling a lot, go to Atlanta as their airport is far superior. Otherwise it's essentially a wash. St. Louis has some fantastic suburbs, no doubt, and in terms of offerings (outside of NFL/NBA teams, nightclubs, and African-American culture/entertainment) gives Atlanta a run for its money.
