Atlanta is affectionately known as a “city in the forest.” Surrounding the iconic skyline of buildings stands giant trees and other types of plant life that envelop much of the man-made infrastructure.

Wow! I absolutely loved this video! I’m an Atlanta transplant myself and lived here for almost 30 years. I got a feeling of hometown pride watching this. From Freedom Parkway up through Buckhead I pictured myself driving to work at different jobs I had over the years. Atlanta really did change. Atlanta is more set up for the Olympics now than in 1996! Iconic Ponce de Leon would make a neat tour too! I also appreciate how your ride along went past the sites of the protest / riots we had only a few weeks prior. We are a diverse and peaceful city, cleaning the mess up straight away with the help of volunteer Atlanta citizens chipping in. Peaceful protests could be seen later in the afternoon throughout your route. Lately, as I get older, I also think about moving outside of Atlanta because the cost of living can be high. But this video represents what I love about living in Atlanta. Where else can you find such a groovy and pretty way of living!

Sorry about the delay in seeing this- and your Seattle video but sometimes I can get caught up in my own worlds and all- I really am impressed with Atlanta and one day want to see it myself. I always wanted to- I grew up watching Braves games on WTBS and always was fascinated by Georgia, Atlanta and all as well! Great ride- well worth the wait to see!

I visited Atlanta Halloween weekend of 2016. I was there to see the Packers play the Falcons, which was a crushing defeat for Green Bay at the last minute. I was happy to see the Georgia Dome before it was replaced, great stadium by dome standards. The weather has incredibly hot & humid that weekend, which is uncharacteristic for Atlanta at that time of year (If I'm not mistaken.) I really enjoyed my time out there, spend a lot of time downtown, and ate at "Googie Burger" several times. Great video as always! Hopefully, someday I can see the new stadium.

I know nostalgia for 2017 pales in comparison to nostalgia for 1982, but it's all I have...lol. I personally would love to hear your stories of pre-Olympics midtown/downtown...it's so bourgie now. I love seeing the photos of old Atlanta. It's shame not many people were able to take road videos of Atlanta back in the day. I've always wanted to know what it was like to drive on the connector before the rebuild. All the best from Tuscaloosa, Ala.!

Thank you, yeah parts along this ride were really gritty back in the 80s and 90s and Buckhead wasn't what it is today either. The connector, and just about all Atlanta Freeways before the rebuild was garbage, the connector especially, it was still using its pre-Interstate 1951 design in places.

Great tour of the streets of ATL and you hit all the high spots, backed up with an excellent soundtrack (I've always thought of Champagne Jam as one of Atlanta's signature songs). Did two stints in the ATL myself (both Gwinnett County) in 1974-1982 (childhood-preteen years) and 1997-2009 (adult). Have some good memories but got a little too sprawly and fast-paced for me.

Probably my favourite video of yours in a long time! I always love surface street tours of new cities. Agree with you about doing it at low traffic times. My favourite time to shoot city tour footage is to wake up early on a Sunday morning and go for a ride downtown at 6am at the crack of dawn! Ted Turner is pretty well known here too believe it or not. We've long had CNN and TBS widely available as some of the first imported networks on Cable as soon as the early 80s. 😀

I’m glad to see we are finally getting serious in the city about replacing the old terrible embarrassing wire span traffic lights (of which I still saw far too many in this great street vid) with mast arm ones more appropriate for a modern American city. I’ve never been in another one that still has then at ALL that I can recall, let alone all over the place in the core city of the 8th largest metro in the country. Weird pet peeve I know but I just hate them they look terrible and it makes me feel like I’m in some backwater town too broke to afford even the basics of modern infrastructure. I’ve given up on decent signage and street landscaping and upkeep, will never happen here and I now kind of enjoy it as part of the city’s funky charm. And all of Little Five Points intersection has mast arm signals and I see more going up all over town. Nice!

When I got to street, turned walked toward Centennial Pl and was all excited to see Waffle House sign. Got there, and sign was up but inside still under construction lol. Finally ate there on a later trip.... Went to Lenox Sq mall just a bit after Falcons lost SB. If not for a small kiosk, nary a piece of Falcon gear... ;) Hoping to get there again for a couple other things I'd like to see. Take care.

Interesting geological Fact. At this point on Peachtree Street (@ 2:49) you cross the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico watershed divided. Note, starting @ 2:11-Piedmont Av and Andrew Young International Boulevard, you are traveling (West) up hill all the way to Peachtree St. Once on the West side of Peachtree St. you are traveling downhill. All the water on the East side of Peachtree St. flows Southeast to the Atlantic Ocean by way of the South River to the Ocmulgee River to the Atlamaha River to the Atlantic Ocean. All the water on the West side of Peachtree St. flows South to the Gulf of Mexico by way of the Chattahoochee / Apalachicola River.

I had the opportunity to go to Atlanta when I took a week off work to attend a friends wedding in Spartanburg but instead I made the drive back to Providence. I had been a Braves fan in the 90's so of course I wanted to see Turner Field, which was the ballpark they played in back then. None-The-Less it looks to me a very cool city to drive in.
