Most people are hanging out in the
neighborhoods of American cities, including Atlanta. Downtown proper is quiet after hours, Midtown is better, but most of the action is going to be in Old Fourth Ward, Edgewood, Little Five Points, EAV, etc. I'm not claiming the activity in those neighborhoods is akin to what you'd see in European cities, but just saying that folks aren't fleeing the city to hang out in the suburbs.

Except the folks that live there. The only "suburb" that folks would go out of their way to hang out in would be downtown Decatur since it functions more like an intown neighborhood and has MARTA rail access.
