    This is the most true comparison of Atl to Detroit, and the New Center / Southfield comparison is spot on. Atlanta has three primary business districts within its very small city boundaries. Midtown...

    It's not what I would call 'Sprawly' at all. Perimeter yes, Buckhead, definitely not. Buckhead is generic and trendy amongst the wealthier set, and sits about 6 miles north of the midtown / downtown...

    Root cause.. is def not the poor, insane, etc.. New York, Chicago, etc.. all have their fair share of those types. It's also not greed, or anything like that. Most of the things listed to this point...

    I second this one. Nothing long and drawn out, as that would get cut to a acronym. Two words max. North American is perfect.

    Titanic hit the iceberg at +41.46 [[North) .. -50.14 [[West).. At least that is what they reported upon hitting it. It sank some 13.5 miles southeast of that point.

    If you draw a line on the same...

    It's obviously going to take some time for people to understand that the free ride is over. Not just in Detroit, but everywhere. Taxes pay for essentials these days, and parks are not on the...

    Hit Bottom or die.. Detroit has proven time and time again that the Bottom can keep moving lower and lower. In the D, there is no bottom. There is no death.

    There is no way the husband walked, or jogged 6 miles in 90 minutes in his physical condition, that time of night, weather, without being seen, etc.. it just didn't happen. If it did, I would be...

    While that may be true in terms of upper middle, to higher end restaurants, like Flip burger, [[mid range).. it's very isolated, and still all very generic. Buckhead has chains galore, and the...

    There are a ton of us here. Atlanta overall.. sucks compared to Detroit. Trust me, the grass is not greener here.

    We have many similar problems here as there are in Detroit, with 10% unemployment,...

    Sorry to be so simplistic, but there is but one reason for Detroit's decline. This is consistent and evidenced all over the world, and in all of history.

    Failed leadership. That's it, nothing...

    Great commercial. So very well done on a night when creativity was extremely lacking.

    I too need an Imported from Detroit T. As I am truly 'imported' from Detroit. Brilliant.

    It's a virtual certainty that everyone in the picture is dead, but what's even more cool to think about, is that some of us may be descendants of someone in this picture. I love these old pictures....

    I don't think every town needs to be a success, and it's hard to call the towns that are not successes failures. Evolution happens and it always will. Some towns will eventually be wiped off the map....

    I've used Groupon Atlanta for the last year or so, and have saved a bundle of money. It's all about what you value, etc. The good deals for me average about once per week. The most common is paying...

    I left in 99, planning on two years away. That was youthful ignorance as time marches on faster than I thought at that point. Two kids and 10 years later, I am still gone. I miss it. I miss Michigan....

    If some white repulican did it, the masses would be all over it, but when a black democrat does it, it largely goes unnoticed. Just one of those 'thangs'
