Driving Thru: Atlanta Georgia

[@Aaron-gc7uz]

Atlanta's Skyline Is pretty Impressive In My Opinion. Especially At Night Time After Dark.

[@braves9652]

I grew up in the 70s and 80s here and I can remember when the blue bubble on top of the Hyatt Regency was the tallest building. In the late 80s I worked on Spring Street in Midtown and watched the IBM tower being built. So much has changed but it has always been amazing.

It's the second longest skyline since everything is spread out. Especially with Buckhead as well

Atlanta is just that the capital of Georgia. Plain and simple. Georgia do have lots more to offer. Greetings from Columbus Georgia capital of West Georgia. Home of AFLAC and Coca-Cola. Yes you heard that right. Home of Coca-Cola. Dr. Pemberton the Father of Coca-Cola discovered the formula for Coca-Cola in Columbus. Also Dr. Pemberton is buried in Columbus.

I love to visit.

[@glenouma8037]

Moving to Atlanta end of this year. So excited 😍😁🙌

[@metsoft156]

I was a bartender at the Mazzy's across the street from the start of the video for 3 years! Kennesaw is one of my favorite metro Atlanta locations to live and work. I am now a police officer in Cobb County and drive down that road daily. Thanks for visiting my neck of the woods.

[@charlieboozer82]

By the way I-75/85 are conjoined thru midtown and downtown. It's called the downtown connector. They don't separate until you get closer to the airport. And you have never been able to see the capitol dome coming from the north. You can if you're coming in from the south. The Peachtree plaza tower, 191 Peachtree tower, and the Georgia pacific building, among others, block the view from the north as those towers have been up since the 70s,80s,and 90s.

[@alexandercarder2281]

I’m from the uk and I came to America in 1998 when I was 15. I stayed in New Orleans and then we stayed in Atlanta. I never forget driving down this road.

[@gregpanek523]

Atlanta traffic sucks. Otherwise it's a great town. I'm retired and live 40 miles west of Atlanta, just south of I-20 in Carrollton. I really like it there. Don't have to deal with Atlanta traffic! I moved from Michigan to Georgia 25 years ago. Atlanta is a bit too far away if you have to commute to work from Carrollton, but close enough to go to a concert or to the farmers market or other things that Carrollton doesn't have, which isn't much that they don't have, pretty self sufficient town. I lived in 3 other places around Atlanta before settling in Carrollton.

[@legogun_frank]

I can agree living 18 years there I hate their traffic

[@smithterrance459]

Downtown Atlanta is beautiful love the skyline ❤🏙

[@charlieboozer82]

That's because when we were kids the people in atlanta were FROM Atlanta, were from the south. Now the people are mostly transplants from the north and other parts of the country so they know nothing of southern hospitality and act accordingly. That's just my opinion. But yea I agree the new breed of people, the sheer volume of people and the resulting traffic issues and other issues makes atlanta less appealing than when I was a kid and would travel with my grandparents from the panhandle of Florida (up US 331 in Alabama to Montgomery, then up I-85 North thru Auburn/Opelika, like you referenced, and other towns).

[@nealcopeland9]

So true! I remember in late 90s after the 96 Olympics..everyone in southern GA where I grew up just had to move there after graduation. Like in all things, there is good and bad..

[@JK79311]

alot of southern cities seem to be like that especially as they seen to develop more nowadays.

[@jerrycaughron7378]

Atlanta has become the Los Angeles of the Southeast!. The traffic in Los Angeles has been rated as the worst in the entire WORLD!.

Love your honking the dude that was going to slow in the right lanes...I do the same damn thing. Atlanta is by far the worst major city too drive through ...it's just grown so fast in the last 30 years...thanks for the video!

[@Spido68_the_spectator]

Imagine the amount of freeway capacity wasted by the insane left lane(s) hogging you see on the video, including by the author himself

[@MasonWright1234]

I like Atlanta because you can walk thru downtown midtown

[@gnomingaround7994]

I don't know what the number is now, but by April of this year they had 15 road rage shootings. I am sure the number has gone up since then. I have never driven thru and not seen at least one fatal accident if not more. I avoid it if I can- usually drive hours out of our way. I've driven all over the country and it is one of, if not the worst.

[@braves9652]

That's very interesting because I have lived here all of my life. I'm a multigenerational resident here, drove downtown every day to go to work and I have never once seen a fatal wreck. Rarely do you meet an Atlanta native from here but when it was more common, before so many people from other parts of the country started moving here we didn't have any of those problems you are talking about.

[@braves9652]

The person who posted this, drove through Atlanta, a city he obviously knows nothing about, trash talked it then I notice he gave a "like" to only the people who are trash talking it. I have lived here all of my life, just like the generations before me. Many of us drove downtown from the suburbs, every day to work in Midtown and downtown and none of us have been a victim of crime. I have never known anyone who has. Maybe you should learn how to go to actual things the city has to offer because it sounds like you don't know how to avoid bad parts that are part of any town.

[@reynaldocordero4247]

When I heard how he talked about Atlanta, I was thinking 'how did this guy miss an entire city, which impressed the International Olympic Committee and the people who decided to put the busiest airport IN THE WORLD here. Elton John who has houses all over the world lives in Atlanta, he said because it's his favorite city in the world. Atlanta has surpassed Hollywood and now more movies are filmed here than anywhere else in the world. And the Atlanta Braves are the current MLB world champions. Btw, my nephew visited Columbus recently and he LOVED IT. He found a lot of cool things about your hometown.

The transients have screwed that up. Before so many people moved here from other parts of the country, people drove slow in the rain with their headlights on.

You guys are too picky about hotels,I used to come up to Orlando from Miami like 15 times a year and I booked plenty of $30-$50 hotel rooms,for the most part not that many issues but I do have some stories,one room had a bunk bed and the top bunk had dried up green boogers on the sheets,by far the worst thing.Another one on 192 had a nightclub about two rooms away and there was noise all night and who knows what else going on.One in Tampa the hallways smelled like beer everywhere you went and had like 20 tv stations from India for whatever reason,this one was in a crap hood.After moving to Central Florida stayed at one in Miami that was full of roaches,we actually got it free and like $50 for a future hotel after showing the manager just how bad it was.Ive gotten more picky since then and dont book the real cheap hotels but out of hundreds of hotel stays like five bad ones isn't too horrible.
