Love living here. Grew up in the South in Florida and moved here to Atlanta about 4 years ago. Traffic can be bad sometimes, but overall pretty neat. And I love going to Braves games!

Really like the city of Atlanta. The trees everywhere are quite beautiful and there is always plenty to do. The traffic can be a bit rough some times, but overall a great city.
