Soror would somebody PLEASE tell me the fascination with Atl? My parents caught the Atl bug and moved there back in 1990 and even then people had been flocking there. So I've lived there but, um, why are the masses going there? I might just move on back to be with family, especially now that i have a niece, but here's my viewpoint:
1. it's hard for many people (ex: teachers) to get a job b/c everybody and their mother is moving there and market is oversaturated to some extent
2. the ratio of single and heterosexual AA men to AA women is approximately 3 to 10 (lol) or something like that - does anybody know a woman who was not in college at the au who moved to atlanta and actually found a man that wasn't already married to somebody else?
3. it's not that scenic - there's no water, no mountains, no beaches
4. it gets kinda cold in the winter for it to be the south
so really ya'll, what gives? i love seeing that AA girl in the mural when I come up the escalators at the airport and i love the numbers of AAs. is that basically it?
do tell b/c a sister has been going there at least 5-6 times a year since i graduated from college there in 97 and i don't see it.
what.is.the.fascination?

If I were to stay here in LA, it'd have to be in Baton Rouge (where most of *my* fam ended up post-Katrina). As far as other options go, I'll co-sign with the majority in considering Atlanta, Houston, and Dallas (in that order).
Now, back ttt...
