Tell me about Atlanta

[BabyPiNK_FL]

I went to Atlanta once for SEPC, this is my true story! lol
The transportation is a novelty-there really arent' enough stops, we had to walk forever to the station and walk forever to the museum for Titanic and we ended up taking a cab back.
side noteAre all/the majority of the cab drivers from Africa? our 2nd one was from Somalia, the 1st, i dunno...)
The guys are so "fratty"! I've never seen people frat so hard before!
The "clubs" are not "clubs" they are bars, I'm used to clubs.
There drivers and transportation are very similar to Miami, so are the areas.
Money-wise, everything felt fairly priced...
The one thing that shocked me the most was that there was so little of this "Southern Hospitality" people speak of. It was a big thing with my group, we expected people to be super nice and friendly and it seemed as if we were the more outgoing ones wherever we went. (Except for those fratty guys!)
I could live there, it wasn't awful, it was pretty much like your normal city.

I think I should be offended by that.

But I'm not!

Emory has one of the nation's top art history programs, and definitely the best one in the South. They also have a really good museum of art and archaeology. That's pretty much all I have to say about Atlanta. Oh, and the High is pretty good as well. They usually get the big traveling exhibitions.

Being one of the 12 people in the metro area who are actually from Atlanta, I'm not offended by it either.
