Further to the above I had a meeting today with an European real estate client who makes it to Atlanta about 3 times per year, owns real estate here, and stays about 3 or 4 days per trip. Asked what were his overall impressions at present, he indicated that in his opinion the city was quite vibrant and upbeat. This was good to hear, because he had previously opined several years ago that Atlanta was a "lazy city". I myself live in the burbs, but my impressions are the same of both inside and outside 285. The improvement in the streetscapes, cleanliness, and young people out walking and bicycling are very impressive to observe. I think soon the national media will start to take notice.
