Atlanta feels like a huge suburb, there are so many different neighborhoods to explore and each has a unique vibe, Charlotte is similar but on a much smaller scale. Atlanta is much more artsy – there is a huge music scene (and not just rap) and so many movies are filmed in the area which creates this sort of Mecca for artists in the Southeast.
