Climatically, summers are very much the same. Winters are going to be significantly colder and snowier. I think that both cities have very good colleges that are in the city or the metro area.
First of all, there are no cities in the Midwest even remotely like Atlanta. They just aren't like Atlanta, period. If you are looking for a city like Atlanta with a different cultural spin maybe try Dallas, Houston, PHX, or LA. But you won't find it in the Midwest.
To be sure, explosive, sprawling, post-WWII growth AND a large AA population is not really a characteristic of the Midwest. And even where you'd have one of those traits, you're likely missing the other. And none has the same cosmetic quality either. Atlanta has a large sprawling downtown, but it does not have as concentrated an urban fabric as you'd find in the Midwest.
Now, I admittedly chose St. Louis, and the reasoning behind that is because unlike the other cities, it actually does have a sizable AA community with somewhat of a cultural similarity in that aspect. While that is also true with Chicago, Chicago is too big and too urban, while the others are similarly too different. I feel you could argue that the STL metropolitan layout is also sort of similar, though this too is grasping. I think Clayton and Buckhead have some passing qualities in common. That said, the cities are very different.
Atlanta is more like Minneapolis than Indianapolis...
In terms of building stock, I would say so. They have a more modern feel than the other cities listed here. They both have those distinctive skybridges downtown as well.

There is more to a city than buildings. Minneapolis has very little in common with Atlanta. One is considered the capital of black america. Minneapolis is and always has been a vanilla city.
