OKay, the heat down south is not like the heat anywhere else. It is humid- I mean when I was in Las Vegas and it was 95 I felt great, no sweat at all, because I am used to the humidity down here. In Atlanta you probably won't have snow, or much of a real winter like up north.
I know you didn't mention it but I am from Louisville and it is a really nice town. There are a lot of law firms that seem pretty open, and I know a few lawyers here, if you want to contact them. We have tons of good food (from southern to chinese and mexican and a lot in between!), there is a lot socially going on (not as much as say Atlanta or New York) but a lot of clubs have hip hop and house music. You are close enough to places like nashville, Indy and Cincy to be there in about two-three hours max and although it has over a million people, it feels kinda like a small town cause people are friendly. We get all four seasons from snow to sun and you can definitely tell when fall and spring arrive. it doesn't get too hot but we do have humidity here.
I love it, but it isn't for everyone. Another great town you may want to look at is Nasvhille. It really IS NOT all COUNTRY. As a matter of fact they have better clubs than Louisville. The people are so friendly, you get all four seasons, hot acts there and it is a great place to live. Plus you do get a lot more racial diversity there than people think. Nashville and Louisville have high immigration rates compared to most cities their size. The cost of living in Louisville and Nashville isn't too high. I think gas here is at like 1.39 a gallon which I think is reasonable compared to some places right now!
I love Atlanta too, but if you can't deal with the summer in Chicago I doubt you could there. Look into Indy some more. I hear great things about Broad Ripple. I wouldn't go to Cincy, no offense to anyone from there, but with the riots last year there is too much racial tension!
