Atlanta is far better now than it was in the 90s. You may be remembering the 90s "Olympics Version" of intown Atlanta that most people from the Atlanta Suburbs saw.

I have been here since the 70s and it's striking to see how much better Atlanta is today than it was in the 90s. I also suspect you live out in the suburbs and not in Atlanta?

There are definitely areas of the burbs that have declined sharply in the last decade (ie: Gwinnett Mall area). I honestly think this is suburban downtrend will continue as the city prospers and people move intown to avoid the 75/85 parking lot system.
