Growing up, we all heard stories about certain Atlanta neighborhoods we should avoid. For me, it was always "stay away from the west side." Which ones did you personally break the rules and visit, only to realize the warnings were overblown?

I remember my parents telling me to stay away from some east side neighborhoods, but I ended up taking a tour through Reynoldstown and was surprised how hip and safe it was. Definitely a case where the warnings were way overblown.

I just noted where rappers would say they came from and avoid those areas, and then whenever they rapped about where they live now, I go check those areas out 🤷

Dad passed away 2 months ago. I traveled to India and stayed for 2 months, dealt with significant red tape to close his cards, loans, transfer pensions, etc. A succession certificate is WIP for one of his accounts, so mom decided to stay back until it’s done. Mom has always refused to hire a maid, loves to hoard, cleans superficially, the house is always a mess when I visit and all my India trips are spent cleaning including this one. I’ve fought with her a ton over the last two months as well..

I live in metro Atlanta. I’m looking to move to a space that has a more suburban feel, but is still close enough to the city to not hamper my social life. I like going to the party - not constantly living in it. Any suggestions? Currently renting, but open to buying in the next three years.
