I'm an Atlanta native, born and raised. I currently live in Buckhead. Downtown Atlanta IS NOT IT! It's primarily a business district, so while you do have people who live there, it isn't a popping entertainment location. If you want to experience the vibrant lively locations, then you need to visit Midtown (the most popular area of Atlanta. ALWAYS lively 24/7 very modern and rapidly expanding), Poncey Highland-Virginia Highland and some of the other similar east side neighborhoods (these give u suburban city vibe with super oldfashioned and vintage quirky aesthetics), Little Five Points (always active, super alternative and quirky and kind of grunge), Buckhead (considered the rich area, bougie and "high class" aesthetic), Ansley Park (really vintage, ecclectic, and suburban aesthetic). Overall, Atlanta is SUPER ecclectic though, since you get TOTALLY different vibes and experiences. You get a vibe in one neightborhood and then get a TOTALLY different vibe in a different neighborhood only 5 minutes away. If someone visits Atlanta and doesn't visit multiple neighborhoods, then they aren't gonna get an accurate look at how Atlanta really is. Unlike many other major cities that have one major city center, Atlanta has multiple mini cities, each super close to eachother, but with very distinctive aesthetics, charms, and things to do.

Growth in Midtown the past 5-10 years has been amazing, definitely where a lot f the new growth is, major expansions of GaTech, student housing, apartments and condos, plus the new headquarters for Norfolk Souther, NCR, and Anthem HC. Also what's not shown at all is the whole Buckhead area which has massive development as well with it's own "downtown" skyscraper area.

I liked atlanta better than. Miami.

Always love driving tours especially places I've never been. Thanks for sharing!

I was born in Atlanta on September 29, 1955. My family lived on Ormond St from 1952 until 1964. We lived about midway between Capital Ave(now Hank Aaron Dr) & Grant Park. Back then we could walk to school or Grant Park without our parents. Our country cousins would visit during the summer & we always went to the park to spend the day. There was a neighborhood corner grocery store called Dan's where we could get meat carved any way you wanted. It was on Ormond going toward Capital Ave & toward Grant Park, was a drug store named Fabian's that had a grill & you could get a real Cherry Coke! One of the main problems I have with Atlanta, is that with every new mayoral admin, street names are usually changed, getting rid of old historic ones & giving new ones. I mean how many more Peachtree names can you have? I also graduated from GA State University in December 1978. It was nice viewing the drive you made thru Atlanta & trying to figure out where you are. Thanks for sharing!

During the time he filmed this GSU classes were closed. Many government offices were closed or shut off to the public. A lot of the restaurants were closed and of course tourism way down.

That’s how an unranked state school was able to buy it all up so cheaply. Financially, I’d say it’s a money pit: all cart before the horse, all showbiz & no substance. And the newbies simply cannot connect the dots. There’s nothing to do here (that any Atlantan would choose to do) because ALL the financial decisions are made elsewhere. Been True, ever since Atlanta lost First National Bank of Atlanta, C&S Bank (Citizens & Savings), Georgia Federal Bank, Trust Company Bank, National Bank of Georgia (NBG) & BankSouth. Furthermore, everything is priced at NY salary rates, not actual Gawja income rates. Not hard to do the math-Atlantans have no real future in Atlanta.

Getting a t-shirt back in the CB radio craze days, CREEM magazine, The Omni, and learned nor to say "crap" were I was 10 years old (or so). 😁 And while walking around, a gentlemen who was selling watches. I was at the bus station back in Feb 1984, on the way to Basic Training, and met a Moonies. The last time I drove though ATL was like in 2002 or maybe 2004 something like that...

EXACTLY! It is BEAUTIFUL! THIS GUY DONT KNOW ANY BETTER

Yeah. I’m a native. I wound up back here in the burbs. Went to GA State back in the day. Def you want to go to other areas besides downtown depending on what you like. Buckhead, Lenox “uptown” or Little 5 Points for the more artsy type of folks. Tho it’s been awhile for me. Stuck in the burbs lately. Lol.

Great video!

Hey Marilyn!

Crazy I work downtown at GA State university n haven’t been downtown in about a year now due to covid. So strange to see no kids walking around campus. Before Covid student would be all over. We go back in Aug maybe it will be back full of life.

Winter here feels good compared to Durham NC hey Nick I also moved from NC I moved last year

I lives here since 2012 Atlanta is very overpopulated . Night time everyone comes outside in different areas of the city , the traffic is so bad and this was just an early cloudy day where everyone was inside .

Midtown and Buckhead is where it is happenening.I miss living in Atlanta but not the traffic.

Here in Atl, it slow downtown ONLY early in the morning 🌷

Exactly. I work downtown and live ITP. This quite slow view is an exception. He picked a wonderful time to visit. I am enjoying the ride.

I live in Buckhead and work in the City of Atlanta, this looks like am hours, there is always something going on in the City starting in the midafternoon.

What brand/model of dashcam did you use and at what settings? Very good footage. Thanks.

Yep left there 20 years ago and never understood what the hype was about. Dead after dark and weekends. In ATL it's all about the suburbs baby.

You forgot downtown Decatur. No skyscrapers but a nice area to hang out.

The area you referred to as Marietta is actually considered Smyrna Cumberland or Galleria. Marietta starts north of Windy Hill rd which is about a mile to the north.

downtown was lit tonight

I am not from the US. But I sometimes play city rides to relax. I miss the sound of the environment, I hate that music. Videos can be so much better if you have a microphone recording sounds around you. Even with engine noise can be improvement compared to this.

I have a lot of love for Atlanta. Atlanta is most likely the first city I plan to relocate.. if I have the money.

@Trevor. You better hurry because home and rent prices are going up daily and inventory is getting very low. They can't build homes and apartments fast enough to keep up with the number of people moving here. A lot of people are living in AirB&B.
