Pros: Greater Atlanta Area
Cons: The City of Atlanta
Summary: There are many appealing things about Georgia. However, Atlanta is not one of them. For a city of this size, it should have more to offer. The cut and dry of it is that Atlanta lacks depth.

Cons: Traffic, air quality, lack of inner-city attractions.
Summary: For anyone who has read other reviews I've done, you'll find this one to be rather vague and "harsh". It's a bit long-winded, too. I apologize. As a matter of fact, to some who have written other reviews about Atlanta, they'll probably label ... read more
