Fourteen consecutive division titles stands as the record for all major league baseball. The 2005 title marked the first time any MLB team made the postseason with more than 4 rookies who each had more than 100 ABs.
6 Cy Young Awards in one Decade the 90's
I forgot the Record of Hank Aaron.
Sounds like winning to me.Although lately lackluster

They used to have the Rams, and after that the Raiders.

What do I know about Atlanta? I have been there once, maybe 5 years ago and I liked the city a lot. Liked the MARTA system, I really liked the downtown area and most people I met were really nice, the airport was really nice too.

Concerns: I have no problems with African Americans but I talked to my fiance about being a minority in Atlanta and dealing with reverse discrimination. I am not sure if that is a problem in Atlanta. I don't care what color you are but I don't have a lot of patience with people who are ignorant and act ghetto. Another concern that I have is crime. Minneapolis-St Paul is a relatively safe metro area except for the North Side of Minneapolis, we have crime here too like any place but overall it is very safe. Most likely, we will live in a suburb like Alpharetta or some place nearby, in terms of demographics, I think Alpharetta is very similar to the suburb we live here in Minneapolis. Anyways, give me all the reasons why I should not move to ATL.

Of course, the US isn't a democracy. It's a "constitutional republic" which is actually quite different. We elect representatives to act on our behalf.

It's mostly white and not alot of ghetto people. What are you trying to say?

I am not asking about the northern suburbs portion, I am asking about the WHITE -vs- alot of ghetto people comparsion.

A very colorful way to make it sound and look appealing for this computer screen (but whatever)

In Atlanta and surrounding counties you WILL FIND ALOT OF AFRICAN AMERICANS, SUCCESSFUL AFRICAN AMERICANS AT THAT!!!!! If you do not like it, If you are intimidated by that, if that makes you feel inferior --Do Not MOVE to Atlanta,GA.
