It also stopped being as racist, xenophobic and homophobic as before, and that's a good thing, isn't it? Hard to believe Atlanta was competing with Birmingham (Bombingham) for supremacy in the South just a few decades ago.
Young folks with a degree, sexually active, with their lives together, minding their own business and not judging others are moving to Atlanta escaping from other parts of the South.
Now when folks say "bless his/your heart" they mean it and they're not stabbing someone in the back...
Metro brought young, gay, immigrants, computer nerds to Northern Va and that's also a good thing.
Atlanta needs more folks getting their asses off their cars and into Marta despite its racial nickname. I know someone who visited recently and folks called him crazy because of walking from Midtown to Downtown... More Marta would be nice too.
