Both big city and rural residents - and those in between - could learn a lot from spending time outside their usual environments. Cities do have more to offer in terms of certain cultural niches, but many local residents never take advantage, and people from elsewhere may partake of such amenities when visiting.
That's a good point. Since you're in the Atlanta area, in your opinion, do you think the locals in Atlanta partake in the amenities enough?

From my experience, there is not much urgency to partake of local amenities and attractions since we expect they will always be available to us - but sometimes people end up relocating for work, family or other reasons and later realize what they have missed. I don't think this is unique to Atlanta at all, and there are certainly plenty of people in this area who show up at special events, cultural centers, new restaurants, etc.

What cultural things do you think the people of Atlanta take for granted?
Basic really. More people packed into one area, more human interactions versus rural places.
Conversely it's not just that cities bring in different cultures from all parts of the world but that it eventually transforms into it's own culture within itself i.e city identity.
For sure. Cities attract foreigners as well as domestic migrants. So yeah, you’re naturally exposed to a lot more stuff just by osmosis in a major city.
