Atlanta is nothing like Los Angeles.

Not at all. Sure they share a few similarities, but a smaller version? I don't think so. Atlanta's not a smaller version of any other city. It has its own thing going.

I consider Miami to be LA's smaller sibling in a way.

Atlanta shouldn't even be in the same sentence as Los Angeles.

They are absolutely NOTHING alike.

Atlanta isn't even on or near a coastline. You have to go to the next state to even see a beach. Well I take that back you have one coastal town way down in Savannah several hundred miles away from Atlanta.

And Savannah is only about 250 miles from Atlanta. That's not exactly next door, but it surely isn't "several hundred miles" away either.

when I was in ATL it felt to me like L.A jr but it felt prettier and more dynamic even more laid back. and all here can probably guess what I feel for L.A i will leave at that

I'd like to hear them & I've got all night long. The weather is supposed to get kinda nasty here this weekend so I'll be cooped up inside with my PJ's on & coffee in hand.
