Atlanta is NOT Semi-Southern, it is the Capital of the South, in a state of the Deep South. If Atlanta isn't Southern, and Dallas isn't Southern, then there must not be such a thing as the South. Both of these cities are without a doubt Southern in just about every way, shape, and form. Urban and cosmopolitan has nothing to do with being Southern or not. Northern Virginia doesn't feel much different from Maryland to me. D.C. and Atlanta are similar only in that they are urban and cosmopolitan with high transportation.
Yeah, I agree to an extent. Atlanta is a southern city. What I meant by "Semi-Southern" is that it isn't quite as southern as Birmingham or Macon or Montgomery. It is more of a southern city than Dallas, but both cities have a lot of transplants that have affected the mood and speed of the area. YMMV, of course
I live in Colorado Springs. I'd say cities that are sort of similar are Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Albuquerque.
are you referring to their location and weather? because that is about the only thing they have in common... maybe Albuquerque and Phoenix are a bit more alike, but I don't see how Las Vegas is related to them in any way other than the weather and the topography and not even Las Vegas as far as I know I think it's a bit colder in winter than phoenix and I think even cooler in the summer months. Don't know about Albuquerque though...
Southeast D.C and Uptown N.O.....both considered the "chocolate city" both cities considered the original "murder capitols"...in the late 80-90's , 00's era
D.C = Atlanta.......Large middle class AA population.....D.C has prince george's county wealthiest county with AA majority and Atlanta has Dekalb and fulton county ...being the 2nd wealthiest with AA majority
Laguna Beach is very similar attititude,and lifestyle wise to Boulder. Boulder even has Volcom.and Billabong ect..Mt. hip vs surf culture..Great restaurants that put most places to shame...You guys can have LA,NYC,Boston ect..we sit back look pretty, and enjoy life while you get fat and lose your hair. These places are the chick you wish you could F... I mean Find utlimate cat and and kangaroo meat at substantial bargain basement pricing..I don't need Viagra I live in Boulder.
