Speaking of neighborhoods, by comparison the "midtown" district in Phoenix comes up far short of it's Midtown sister in Atlanta.
That's like saying the Chevy Spark comes up short of its BMW 5-series sister. I don't know anyone who brags about midtown Phoenix. However Mill Ave in Tempe and Old Town Scottsdale are something to brag about. I'd say Mill is part of the reason that ASU is America's largest campus, not that it is a biproduct of the campus population.
It is between 48 and 53 degrees in ATL this morning......... Phoenix is still at 90...
Yes sir...and I love it. Should see how many people are out just finishing their mountain hike. They started around 530-600 and finished around ten. What are people in Atlanta doing in the AM?

Jogging in Piedmont Park, hiking in Stone Mountain, canoeing along the Chattahoochee
I would personally prefer Atlanta. Im not much of a desert person. Though Phoenix has some pretty scenery and is close to natural wonders like Zion, the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, etc. as well as the California cities, I would prefer Atlanta. Its a lot more diverse, still has the outdoor activities, and the airport is great (which is important to me).
says the person from atlanta. I guarantee that 20 of the 22 votes are people from the SUBURBS of atlanta lol. On a side note, it's kinda funny that Mesa(a suburb of Phoenix), has more people than atlanta city proper.
That's only because due to the annexation practices and historical city planning laws the old suburbs in Georgia are very small in area where as the suburbs out West in comparison sprawl on for ever.
But to put it in perspective. Dekalb County is a collection of suburbs immediately East of Atlanta. It covers twice the area of Mesa and has almost twice the population. So it's the same thing as two Mesa's it's just chopped up by political boundaries into several small suburbs.
Then you have similar situations with Cobb county to the NW and Gwinett to the NE.
Awful chilly to be doing all of that! Is it a mountain? How high?
I like warm weather.
Well those are recreational activities that will warm you up, those temps aren't that chilly, and even so the temps rise pretty quickly as morning progresses. Late summer/early fall is very ideal in Atlanta in terms of temps throughout the entire day.
Stone Mountain is actually a huge granite outcropping about 700 ft high or so with a park surrounding it. Being located in the foothills of the Appalachians, there are other "mountains" of this sort in the metro area, as well as Kennesaw Mountain which is an 1800 ft ridge to the northwest of Atlanta proper.
