I loved Atlanta. We're talking about long-term livability.
I won't waste the energy to cut and paste my post, but if you disagree with the fact that Birmingham has almost every shopping and dining option that Atlanta has, then you are showing your ignorance. There may not be a Louis Vuitton or some of the Phipps-type boutiques, but that's why I posted 'almost'. Having said that, I could live to be 101 and never lose a wink of sleep if I never get to shop at Coach or Tiffany.
You probably can't name a single dining theme or cuisine that is available for the average person to visit in ATL that BHM doesn't have.
Take a breath, Sparky...don't get your feelings hurt, okay? Would you be happier at the kid's table, sweetie?
LOL
This thread (my posts included) has gotten ridiculous. Goodnight.
Lot's of fallacies there. By your logic, I could say that Atlanta has "almost" the same shopping and dining options as New York or Los Angeles and I'd be correct.
The fact is no where close. YOu like it and that is fine - we all have our likes and dislikes. What is silly is when a person has to make up things to make their home sound better.
Ahem...a few "ridiculous" posts does not a "ridiculous thread" make. (saying so as the one who posted this thread in the first place!)
But then, I love discussion of geographical issues, differences and similarites...
As long as it's reasonable discussion, I will agree.
But then again, some folks feel pretty strongly "fer or agin" certain places...
They can get riled about it.
