Atlanta
Atlanta was established in 1837 at the intersection
of two railroad lines, and the city rose from the
ashes of the American Civil War to become a
national center of commerce. In the decades
following the Civil Rights Movement, during which
the city earned a reputation as "too busy to hate" for
the progressive views of its citizens and leaders,[13]
Atlanta attained international prominence.
combined with the restriction on high-rise, the
metropolis feels open and spacious.
Atlanta, while located in the South, has a culture
that is no longer strictly Southern. This is due to a
large population of migrants from other parts of the
U.S. who have made the metropolitan area their
home, establishing Atlanta as the cultural and
economic hub of an increasingly multi-cultural
metropolitan area.
