..........to no one's surprise I'm quite sure.
I have lived in the ATL area twice in my life: June '87 - April '93 & October '12 - present. I really miss the pre-Olympics city. Yes, it had its bad areas; but the crime was really confined to those areas. There were a ton of really cool, safe, areas to hang out and it was a great place for a young 20 something single guy or gal. When Mrs. G and I were being transferred back to the US in the summer of '97, we really considered coming back to ATL, but because my mom had been dealing with cancer and my dad needed some help, we moved to NoVa. It was a good opportunity professionally to come back in 2012, so we jumped on it, but the city has changed very much and not for the better as you all know. So, we live Cherokee, and I work in Norcross and rarely do we go into Atlanta proper. It's a shame but the northern suburbs are great, have everything we want/need, and my Florida born and raised wife is happy. And as we all know: Happy wife, happy life.
