Atlanta may have the richest black community in the us in terms of cultural influence and economic power. That is what’s most interesting about the city.

The CEOs of corporations aren’t what make Atlanta or most communities special.

I wasn’t saying inequity doesn’t exist in multinational corporations in Atlanta. Nor am I saying racism or inequality doesn’t exist in ATL. What I am saying is there is a vibrant and rich black community in Atlanta that in my opinion is what makes Atlanta special.

Anything impactful to the economy? Charlotte our neighbors to the northeast has become a banking powerhouse. Nashville seems to be centering on its geographical position to grow in supply chain and warehousing. Dallas, Austin and Houston in TX have their own economic identities. Atlanta does not seem to have a very strong economic identity - maybe supply chain and logistics to some extent. But why would people want to move to Atlanta economically? What's the ecosystem here?

funny

Atlanta's identity is a hub for technology, not tech start ups but technology in general. So many HQ's here. Also an identity for restaurant business think CFA, Papa John's, Go To Foods, Inspire brands etc. And for films and television. You might not realize but A LOT of shows and TV and movies are filmed here in the past decade or so. Ozark, walking dead, stranger things etc.

35F divorced with a kid. I think I will never get remarried or in a serious relationship again. Lots of men don't like dating women with children.

My fiancé will NOT stop talking about her ex. After I found out they were texting arguing she justified it by saying it was about the dogs and not them.

I try to bring it up and I get dismantled for being too mean and making “false accusations.” How much more obvious can it be?

Are there any well-off suburbs around Chicago where there's a significant amount of black or mixed race people? Significant meaning 40-50%+.
