Of course, y’all know I’m always hyped about reppin’ the home team, so the number #1 reason I personally love Atlanta is…
Because we have our own terminology:
“ATL, SWATS [South West Atlanta Too Strong], Old NAT’L, and, of course, ATLien — all invented by Dungeon Family artists. Also, true Atlantans also know that the only ‘T’ found in ‘Atlanna’ comes in a glass with lots of sugar and a lil lemon.”

No city like it, only place I ever felt at home.
I do NOT like ATLANTA because of the FAGS! If you are gonna be gay, there is no need to dress like a woman. When crisis hit, all yall folks better take cover because there is a hurricane coming yall way! God does not like ugly. Folks down there just accepting all kinds of sin. You name it, it is in ATL!! Bad place to raise a child with morals!! Will never visit again!! Shopping is great!
I needs to book a ticket to discover ATL for myself. My few of my cousins have made it there home but I have yet to touch down. Michelle hook a Cali sista up with some Delta tickets and a tour of yo city.
I was born and raised in ATL!! No matter how much I love to travel there is only 1 ATL!! Atlanta is great because of there rich culture and historical aspects that it has to offer. Every city has a "bad" side of town and if you choose to frequent there then yes it is a bad place to raise kids with morals. BUT if you’re a real parent with real morals that spends time with your kids you should not have that problem!
If you dont like where i stay fly away ahhhh
Because of Creamy Dreamy Grits at the Flying Biscuit! And the people are so fly, super intellectual and still have a little of that southern charm.. they actually speak to you on the street (unlike northerners)

I love Atlanta….I was born here…we have a great city life, beautiful countryside and a diverse population!!! I love it!!!
Sorry but all I’ve heard about ATL is that y’all got phagz and HIV run amok. Everybody is broke but pretending to be rich. There’s a waffle house on every corner. Too many nail and hair salons handing out fungi and bad weaves like its easter candy. That half the women are shims and that half the men are DL if not openly gay and there is a lot of crime and unemployment especially in ATL and Decatur. I’ve heard that the schools are poorly run and the kids aren’t learning anything plus there’s lots of violence. I’ve heard nice things about Villa Rica and Alphareta though. Most people I know who have gone to visit ATL say they wouldn’t want to live there. Others who have lived there say they won’t go back. Seems if you are single and looking to freak your way through life or you are trying to break into entertainment then ATL is for you. If you’re trying to raise a family and have a healthy relationship then it is NOT the city to be in. Sorry but that’s the news about yo town!
I am with you, I would not want to live in ATL. I would be most happy living in Louisiana.
Shell cause that’s all I know lol
What’s the big deal in the ATL, it’s full of Hood Rats, and Homo’s.
yall b killing me talkin bout my city…if u dont like it well move then…sumthin brought u and if its so bad leave…im born and raised here and I luv dis place and when I leave I miss dis place…there is nuttin like it and I wudnt change it for da world…all I gotta say is “if u dont like where I stay fly away”

I love walkin around the underground with no business….I miss Greenbriar Flea Market.
I couldn’t live in Atlanta, sorry, too many gay people. But I do love the coca-cola factory. It is a great place to get a music career started but I wouldn’t want to live there. Miami is more of a place I would like to live.
