Is that really downtown Atlanta? I've never seen so many trees that close to a downtown before, not counting Central Park.

Yeah, that's kinda interesting. Looks like a hill or park is nearby, no?

Yes, Piedmont Park is right there in the bottom left; very large and forest-like. And to answer your question clean_polo this is a shot mainly of Midtown and the northern side of downtown. There's plenty more that isn't captured here but this is a great shot!

Read up on this if you are truly interested in the subject:

41Latitude - The Most Important Cities in the United States (http://www.41latitude.com/post/400972984/most-important-cities-united-states - broken link)



As you can see, Minneapolis is important.....just not as important as Atlanta and by quite a bit.

Now when it comes which city one would prefer, well that's a preference thing.
lol useless data

I would pick Atlanta overall given the criteria and the location. Twin Cities is an excellent region but it is not as big as Atlanta. Twin Cities is arguably the number 2 city in the midwest but I still give that title to Detroit until further notice.
