Has Austin pass Atlanta as the best big city capitol in the USA.
You said capitol which refers to the building. So are you asking if Texas has a better state capitol building than Atlanta?
Otherwise, if you're comparing cities, Austin is better than Atlanta at what? And who decided that Atlanta is the best big city capital? I love Atlanta, but there are a lot of people who would say that Boston is a better city. Or Denver. Or Raleigh. Or Annapolis.
Atlanta has never been the best capital city in America. I love living in Atlanta, but IMHO Atlanta is a crappy capital city as the State Capitol grounds seem completely disconnected from the rest of the city. Austin is a much better capital city, but I also think that there are even better capitals like Madison and Olympia. The best examples of large cities that are also capitals would be Boston, Indianapolis, and Denver--where the state capitols seem to be more integrated with surrounding neighborhoods and more prominently featured in their respective cities.
I'd still say no? Why would Austin possibly be better than ATL??? in WHAT? I can't think of a single category it might be better in other than live music or popularity with hipsters...
Atlanta and Boston will take that title...other than that...no other city comes close
