Depends what kind of food you like. To me, the best places in Atlanta right now are Miller Union, BoccaLupo, and Kimball House. Redbird is very good too. Kimball is in Decatur, so may be a little tougher to get to. I would probably do Miller Union or Redbird factoring in their location. Both will have good bars nearby as well.
There are no issues in Atlanta that don't exist in every major city. Lots of flashy money so lots of property crime mostly involving cars. The violent crime is pretty restricted to certain neighborhoods and very easy to avoid unless you are out at 2-4 am and then **** can go down anywhere.
Don’t get me wrong crime has spiked but Atl is still a beautiful city and great place to visit
Actually yes it is. It is so bad they are trying to break away from Atlanta.
Why is Buckhead trying to leave Atlanta. How many people have been shot at Lenux Square Mall? What about the shootings on the interstate?
dude you are completely wrong! I don't care how long you lived there. Decatur, buckhead downtown Atlanta, 5 points, grant park, Piedmont park...all crime infested areas. **** made it up to Cobb county. Andrw is 100% right...sandy springs broke away from the feckless leadership years ago running Atlanta and Fulton county and now buckhead is as well
This is such an exaggeration and nonsense. Absolutely no one should stay in Alpharetta or Roswell, especially if they are flying in. For one, they are suburban ****. Should I stay in Coral Springs if I go to Miami? Two, driving through the connector and then driving back through on gameday is just beyond asinine. Truly. Three, just stop watching the news and disconnect for a bit. It’s gonna be ok.
I’ve posted crime stats. It’s ok to recommend buckhead or midtown but people do need to treat these areas differently than they may of a few years ago. Crime is bad but you can do things to keep yourself safe. One of those things is to make decisions as if you are in a high crime area, which you will be.
I said that… don’t stumble off on your own, be cognizant of surroundings, don’t flash wads of cash or jewelry, use common sense like you’re in a big city, don’t follow strangers, check your Uber is your Uber. But that goes for anywhere.
No offense but anyone who is sacred walking the streets in Atlanta, Decatur,, Piedmont Park is pretty much soft as ****.
I am not buying that Atlanta was hiding 60% of its murders. Even if your argument is all the stats are politically motivated it doesn't explain the shootings at Lenox Squire and the shootings on the interstate. It doesn't explain all the high profile robberies. There is more than enough evidence to suggest that crime has risen sharply and especially in Buckhead. It certainly isn't on the early 90's level but it's a crisis.
Appreciate it
