So go ahead and create these threads then; what's stopping you? I wanted to create a poll comparing downtown Atlanta and uptown Charlotte and I did. You want to compare midtown with Charlotte or Mobile with Charlotte, then do like I did and create the thread and poll. It's as simple as that.
Don't get me wrong I know what you were trying to do.I understand why,Thats why I stated what I did at the top.I was just saying to people who do not know any better and are only seeing the 2 cities from these pics is that it is easy to think they are similar which in my honest opinion,they are not even close.I know it sounded like I was putting what you did down as if it was intentionally misleading what you posted.That was definitely NOT what I was trying to convey.I know you to always be fair minded no matter what are the subjects are.Sorry if I came across as attacking you.

I agree with this. Most of the Atlanta people understand what Akhenaton06 was getting at with this thread.

The comparison is Uptown Charlotte vs. Downtown Atlanta. It's not comparing skylines; just a certain part of the cities.

I was being sarcastic, but thanks for finally realizing the truth.
How did Birmingham let Atlanta take all the glory in the Southeast? The state of Alabama and the city of Birmingham where at the forefront of the Civil Rights Movements. Yet Atlanta seem to have left Birmingham in the dust. Birmingham still look like it did in the 60's.
Basically, while Bull Connor in Birmingham was shooting water from hoses at full blast and siccing attack dogs on those Civil Rights protestors, Atlanta was taking a more moderate approach, proclaiming itself as "The City Too Busy To Hate," and when people and started moving down south in the 70s and 80s, Atlanta was considrered to be the more favorable of the two.
Atlanta had the same issues as Birmingham, but had better PR.
Also, years ago, when Birmingham had a chance to expand their airport and make it a hub, they didn't, so Atlanta jumped at the chance. And he rest is history. I think Atlanta and Birmingham were about the same size until the 1950's.
I wouldn't say the city is "stuck in the 60s," but parts of it have seen better days.
