Tell me about Atlanta

[ZTAngel]

Are there lots of museums/galleries/colleges that I could jump on to for this?
High Museum of Art. It's the largest art museum in Atlanta. As for colleges, there's SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design). They have a satellite campus in Atlanta.
What's the cost of living like?
Not too bad compared to most cities. It's no where near as costly to live in Atlanta as it is to live in NYC, Los Angeles, Miami, etc. A lot of young professionals have been moving to Atlanta in recent years because of the great opportunities and the inexpensive living costs. With that said, the suburbs are much less expensive. Living in Buckhead or Midtown is not cheap at all.
How's public transportation?
Sucks. MARTA is the subway line. There's no where near enough stops and stop locations are miles from people's homes. It's not very convenient. I only use it when I'm going to the airport or a concert/football game since Atlanta traffic is infamous for being terrible. Plus, MARTA has a reputation for not being very safe at night.
What is your major gripe about the city?
Traffic, traffic, traffic. Atlanta is a major US city and has one of the worst public transportation systems. The locals drive every where so the highways get very congested.
What do you really love about the city?
There's a lot to do. There's the touristy type stuff such as the Georgia Aquarium and the Coca Cola Museum. The night life is pretty good. Also, if you're into outdoor type activities, there's a lot of hiking trails just north of the city. If you're willing to travel an hour to two hours north of the city, there's some great white water rafting places on the border of Georgia and Tennesse.
