I was broadly describing geographic sections of the city that are laid back, not specific neighborhoods. "East Dallas" seems to be a more of block by block experience.
None of these are fast paced imo. I can always tell the pace of a place by looking at how people use escalators. Fast paced locations have people walk up the escalators and those that don't want to automatically stand to the right. This flow of movement is ingrained in the culture. In slower paced cities people just stand on the escalators and let it move them with no sense of urgency.

If thats the case Atlanta is.Take the subway and watch how many people are walking up.
Im not suggesting Atlanta is fast paced like say NYC,Philly,etc however I don't thonk this is a good measurement.'I was just in Philly and DC last week and depending on where you are,people move differently within those cities.
In King of Prussia Mall,no one is walking up the excalator but at the subway many are

I've seen select individuals walk or run up MARTA escalators in Atlanta...
However, it isn't a mass of people doing this, all over, at every train station. There isn't large scale running or hurried walking in Atlanta, so I tend to agree with your first sentence: none of these cities are fast paced, or at the very least, they tend to offer the similar pace and vibe (Charlotte core only)...

Agreed. They are not the slowest paced but I definitely don't see fast.

The city is not fast paced nor is it slow. It just isn't when compared to what fast paced acually looks like at least according to American standards. Have you been on the metro, subway, el or even bart during busy times? Marta is nowhere as busy or rushed.
Also when your comparing the amount of people you saw in Philly and DC on the streets walking about to Atlanta, what does the ratio look like? I lived in Midtown, probably Atlanta most walkable area and I barely saw people walking around except in the piedmont park vicinity.
