Thank you! That makes zero sense.

Midtown Atlanta wins on everything. I can still afford to live in Midtown Atlanta, in Nashville not a chance.

It's kind of pointless, I'm from NYC, so I should know.

It was much faster parking down the street...walking to our location...walking back to our car, then leave Midtown, especially after midnight.

I really don't know how it's really NEEDED if you don't live in Atlanta.

But Atlanta's being compared to Nashville in this thread, not NYC.

Nashville only has bus transit in their Midtown. So Atlanta with its subway lines and stations definitely comes out on top.

Yea Nashville Coulda had Light Rail in Midtown But the VOTERS voted it Down This Year, Ugh How Stupid. Hell, Even Memphis has TROLLEYS...

So Yea if It Makes the Atlanta Boosters feel better Midtown Atlanta takes this one, But Nashville does Have "The Gulch"


On a Side Note.. Midtown Atlanta's Skyline is So Pretty from Piedmont Park

To be clear, my post wasn't intended as a knock against Nashville and an attempt to boost Atlanta. It was merely to correct the poster's claim that there's no objective difference between Midtown Nashville and Midtown Atlanta as far as transportation (that is false)

I didn't know until now what area Nashville considered as midtown. I've heard it mentioned when visiting there but that is it.

Give Nashville another 10 years or so to develop as a city and then it may be a comparison but now I will go with Atlanta and it's not close or fair comparison.

There's imagined potential and then there's realized potential. Atlanta all day.

Midtown Atlanta is just much more developed, much more vibrant and robust, and larger.

Midtown Nashville is still early in its development and is booming now. It will take 6 or 8 years of building and more development and growth to be the size of Atlanta's midtown.
