Which city is more internationally known to the world?Atlanta
Which city has a better night life and downtown? Nightlife-Atlanta, Downtown-Denver. Don't understand why you lumped these two together.
Which city has a better suburb? Atlanta
Which city has better shopping and diversity? Atlanta
Which city has better K-12 Education? Denver
Which city has easier access to overseas air travelling? Atlanta
Which city would you live in if you had 2 kids (1 in middle school, 1 in high school) I would be tempted to say Denver but they could do well in Atlanta. Might have to move to a more expensive suburb with a good system though.
I think the 2 are suprisingly similar in most aspects. Neither is much better than the other in all the criteria posted. even sports which wasn't posted. What wasn't posted was weather where I think Denver wins hands down. As much as I like Atlanta, I could never live in that hot/humid environment. I'll take the occasional snow storm in October or April in return for extremely low humidity and over 300 days of sunshine.
The heat/humidity of Atlanta is GREATLY over emphasized. It's not nearly the negative people make it out to be. It's not Calcutta for criss sake. And the 9 months of the year it is NOT hot are absolutely gorgeous -- even in winter, when it gets really cold and icy, Atlanta is still beautiful -- not like northern cities where winter is 5 months of miserable yuck.

Atlanta's altitude (1,050 feet above sea level) actually keeps the humidity lower than most people realize. Yes, it gets humid in the heat of July and August, but not as humid as cities at lower altitudes.
There is no argument that Denver wins in the altitude vs altitude contest, but it's not as bad in Atlanta as some people might think.
I'd take Denver in every category except air travel. Throw in weather, outdoor recreation and scenery and it's a rout. And Denver sports > Atlanta sports

You have got to be kidding me.

If you think nightlife in Atlanta revolves around rap music and Black culture, you're sadly mistaken. They are components of the nightlife, but there are certainly others as well. And I have no idea how that ties into which city has the better downtown.

Although I'm inclined to say that Atlanta comes out on top in terms of shopping, I'm not exactly sure. But Atlanta is definitely more diverse. These are the latest metro area stats from the American Community Survey
Atlanta
59.3% White
32.6% Black
4.7% Asian
10.0% Hispanic/Latino of any race
Denver
84.4% White
6.3% Black
4.3% Asian
22.3% Hispanic/Latino of any race (didn't realize Denver had such a high Mexican population, as they constitute the bulk of this group)

Boo on most of that... As far as sports go...
Well, the Nuggets are currently the Hawks of the Western Conference. Soon to be the Bobcats when Melo leaves. Yeah, Broncos have been better than the Falcons, I will admit that (But your road to the Super Bowl is a lot rockier). I think the Braves trump the Rockies. They may have a more recent World Series victory, but the Braves have the greater history and legacies (Hank Aarron, 13 straight division titles and a World Series win, Chipper Jones). The Atlanta Braves logo-hats are probably one of the most popular hats today... Peace Bobby Cox.
You guys can have hockey, we're from the South, so we honestly don't care... At least most of us.
C'mon, Chik-Fil-A Bowl, this SEC country, also there's Georgia Tech (one of the best schools in the nation) and UGA. Georgia State recently added a college football team. What college sports programs is Denver notable of?
Which is pretty hard to top as far as fan commitment and rivalry game festivities.
Get serious. Denver is nice, but when it comes to sports, Atlanta sir. ESPECIALLY, since Carmelo Anthony will be departing soon.
