Atlanta gets my vote. They don't call it the "Hub of the South" for nothing.

Nashville gets my vote. Pretty much offers everything that Atlanta does, but with less traffic

New Orleans
I've grown tired of airplanes.
New Orleans offers the most (somewhat interesting) travel for trains: Birmingham, Memphis, San Antonio, Chicago, etc.
Plus it has Cafe Dumont. You can't go wrong with Cafe Dumont.

New Orleans- not the biggest, bestest economy, shiniest, etc. But definitely the coolest hippest of all!

Atlanta offers the best opportunities it seems and a good quality of life. It's a huge metro area so it seems like it has a lot to offer. If I was raising a family I lean towards ATL.

New Orleans though is one of my favorite cities in America. Yes it has problems with crime, poverty, education, corruption, etc....but it makes up for it in ways other cities can't. The culture, food, music, traditions, celebrations, PEOPLE, architecture, history, etc...are all so uniquely NOLA. I actually think about moving here b/c I really would like to put my urban planning degree to good use and help bring this city back better than before. NOLA is truly a one of a kind city and it would be a great experiance living there I think.

Matchup between the villes, Jacksonville and Nashville. Jacksonville by a hair.

I'd pick Charlotte if it wasn't destined to turn into another Northern Virginia.
