It depends on the prevailing winds.

I don't think a place can be "world class" if it doesn't have a Hostel.

I love my city but we are not World Class yet. The reason Atlanta has not become larger and grander than it hoinestly has the potential to be is because of our southern mindsets. It's holding us back. Too many people are afraid of growth and connectivity.

Part of Atlanta's problem is its embracing of growth at all costs. Afraid of Connectivity? The airport and expressways should lay that to rest. I don't have any problem with the "southern mindset" as it lends itself to what little character Atlanta has.

I don't get all the fuss about Atlanta's supposed "topography". Lots of cities out pace Atlanta there and you really can't see much of the topography. To me, Atlanta is somewhat flat as you can't see mountains or hills from the ground.

They didn't treat the patients in Texas, or NYC for that matter.

They don't treat a lot of people in Texas, which has the nations largest uninsured population.

Texas makes national headlines for who they don't treat...
