couldn't we just say that oak lawn in general is comparable to buckhead? maybe?
I'd say that a comparison to the Turtle Creek/Park Cities areas + portions of the Central Expressway corridor would be accurate. Park Cities in terms of residential, the Central Expwy corridor from the CityPlace area up to about Walnut Hill for the commercial and retail aspects.
Oaklawn/Uptown would be more comparable to Midtown Atlanta
I doubt seriously that the economic impact was far less...Lets not draw conclusions. Lets wait for the final tallies. Plus Dallas was hammered by a foot of snow...And still managaed to get 108,000 in the seats.
Well Atlanta hosted the game in Phillips Arena(Basketball and Hockey)not a dome.It sold out to capacity at around 20,000.Things have changed to allow cities to host in their larger venues now.But the fact that the stadium sold out is small potatoes to the media rights for the NBA.I was referring more to the impact on the city.The dining establishments,bar,clubs,malls,hotels etc.All those people spending money in the city.Its a fact that there were a lot of people that came for the atmosphere,not the game itself
Didn't the mod threaten to delete posts that have absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand? So why we keep arguing about the All-Star Game, I don't know...

Uh...that's how it always is with the NBA All-Star Weekend. Atlanta isn't unique with that one.
Now, on topic I'd rather live in Uptown Dallas. More compact than Buckhead, which is more spread out. If it were between Midtown Atlanta and Uptown Dallas, the decision would be harder, but Uptown would still come out on top.

This is very true. This is what makes Atlanta different. It is a entertainment city. If there is a party, people come here from all over the country just to experience the atmosphere. I'm talking about regular people, not celebrities.

This is true, but not to the level of ATL. Las Vegas and Miami may be up there with us.

well actually, turtle creek is technically part of oak lawn. and in a more lenient definition some may choose to include the park cities as well

Park Cities as a part of Oak Lawn?
I forgot that Turtle Creek is part of Oak Lawn though. Since that's the case, then Turtle Creek/Oak Lawn/Uptown (Uptown is a part of Oak Lawn, correct?) would probably be a more accurate comparison to Midtown Atlanta.
