[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 885221, member: 959"] That is part of the challenge with Atlanta. People don't grow up and stay there at the same rate as other major cities like Boston. This is a QUICK example, but when I looked on the Census Website ([URL]https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table?t=Native%20Born&g=0600000US1312190144&tid=ACSST5Y2020.S0601[/URL]) 48% of respondents in the City of Atlanta footprint where born in Ga whereas 72% of Bostonians are born in Mass. Sure, that accounts for in state not in city (but I was too lazy to dig down to that level and think it a reasonable assumption to make an inference on the same data). My point is the migratory nature of Atlanta makes it a tougher sell for this type pride in city. Think about the Boston Strong movement that came out of the bombing during the marathon - we didn't have near the same level of City Unity off the back of the bombing in Centennial Olympic Park. The lack of roots attaching people to place shows up here in both scenarios (the pride of the city and the unification to watch out for each other after tragedy). [/QUOTE]
