Outside of downtown, many parts of Atlanta still have that deep south backwater feel.
Interesting. So what 'deep south backwater' podunks have you been spending time in to know what Atlanta 'compares' to? Perhaps you can also answer why you were in a 'deep south backwater' podunk town to know what the culture is like to compare it to a place like Atlanta

Duly misinformed
Uhhh. no.
I've been to Atlanta and Birmingham.
Other than the fact that Atlanta's downtown is considerably more developed (and I submit that Atlanta has downright impressive urban critical mass in its downtown area for a southern city), both cities are pretty rural and un/underdeveloped outside of their downtown.
All the northern and pre-WWII cities will GRADUALLY transition from the skyscraper district to the dense urban neighborhood to the pre-WWII suburbs to the 1960-1970s suburbs to the McMAnsions (exburbs) and finally the rural areas.
The transition in Atlanta, and even Birmingham, from its supposed urban areas is very drastic.
