Understanding Atlanta

[Eye Weekly]

Atlanta is the biggest city in the US South and a unique place.
The city spans many counties and the homes are large with many trees.
It is said that Atlanta is where "men are men and women are glad".
There are still many people proud of the Confederate past.
It has very large black and Korean populations with significant distrust between the police and minorities.

Piedmont Street is a very interesting place that I'd would surely frequent had I lived there.
Within 400m there are three Asian massage parlours, three fast food restaurants, a strip club, a tattoo studio and a thrift store.
A devout Christian would surely avoid the area!

Atlanta is known for its racism and poor transit.
For these reasons the Atlanta Braves baseball team moved from downtown to the suburbs in 2017.
Apparently there are 100s of Korean massage spas.
Many cater to entire Korean families
