According to the official City of Atlanta, Dept of Planning GIS Maps; Midtown Place SC is in fact in MIDTOWN.

Ponce is the dividing line.

As I understand it the Upper westside is north of west Midtown and west of west Buckhead but south of south Sminings.

4th Ward starts stops at Ponce. That's one of the more stark differences in the city, even more so back in the day. Some streets even change their name once they go south/north of Ponce. Charles Allen and Parkway and are in totally different worlds but it's the same street basically. And that Whole Foods is too far west to be in VH. That area is very much Midtown. Stop winging it and actually learn the city bro. If you don't want to learn it then cool, but don't act like you know what you're talking about.

Those aren't official neighborhoods with boundaries recognized by the city, just common names for geographic areas.

Yep, according to the map someone posted the WF is literally a few feet from the Virginia Highland border. My mistake, yes, but certainly not such a travesty that it deserves an admonishing lecture.

The last sign I see on a street when walking to this development from the VaHi direction is VaHi...so I assumed it was either that or O4W. To anyone else so deeply offended that I did not memorize the coordinates of every neighborhood in the city, I do apologize and hope that you can manage to return this thread to the original topic.
