"The GOAT Black City" The Official: ATL Discussion Thread

[daemonova]

if you are at the corner of Mount Vernon Highway and Roswell Road, you will get to see THE Sandy Springs, take Mount Vernon Highway over to Sandy Springs Circle and go down Sandy Springs Circle toward Atlanta, You will see a historical Marker that says "The Sandy Springs", There is a driveway by the marker so just go back up and walk down that. It is a public park but I wouldn't go after dark Its just a couple of narrow parallel creeks with some whitest sand on the banks. Really nothing to see at all. The stairway takes you to an amphitheater and then when you walk out of that, you're in a big ass parking lot for the Hammond Drive Kroger, among other things

yea if you hate atlanta you either a fukkboy or a cracka. This place is as good as it gets for a black male in the US. The only places fukking with it are DC and Houston

I live in houston but Im extremely interested in moving to atlanta to see what it has to offer as far as the environmental industry.
I know about the women out there already. But what about the job market for brothas with degrees

We probably have crossed paths up there before. That's my go to car wash. I'm up there every week like clock work. I even pull up and use the vacuums sometimes without paying.

I ain't fukking with that Auto Spa Bistro shyt. I got a 9 year old Caddy and a '09 Prius. The fukk I look like pulling up in there with all those exotics and shyt. Lol

Yea maybe so, i don't get up there as often as I'd like but I'll take my car or the wife's car up there. It's about 5-10 mins from the house, great prices, good work, that's been my go to since I moved on this side of town. I used to go to the Car wash on Cascade off 285 across the st from the Driving range and the Starbucks

The club scene seems like it was better before

But I went to Alex entertainment and his venues

Seems like its geared towards groupies and celebs ..that's the vibe I get

But still nice

23 years might be a little TOO far back. Only thing popping around that time was Kilo, booty shake and Kriss Kross.

I think 1994-2004 was the sweet spot.

Yea, I was on hand for Freak 95,96,97 and the pathetic attempts after Bill Campbell's punk ass pretty much shut it down. I can't fathom something like Freaknik happening in modern Atlanta. You could literally get out your car and walk down 85.. the traffic was that crazy


Crackers was pissed.

What changed?

 

[Flykid567]

I'm
Thinking about moving out there in a couple of years after college how's the job market out there

 

[Pegasus Jackson]

What changed?

Atlanta is a mecca/social hub now. It's a lot more cosmopolitan than it was in even the 90s when it was still SOMEWHAT a sleepy, country town.
