Atlanta doesn't have inviting neighborhoods? You didn't look very hard if you missed the fabulous in-town neighborhoods here...

This "soul" thing regarding cities has always amused me. Where exactly did you search for the soul of Atlanta? Was it Centennial Park? Piedmont Park? West End? Grant Park? Five Points? Georgia State? Woodruff Park? Underground? Fairlie-Poplar? I think these areas are a good start...and there is enough character and history in these and other spots around Atlanta to give you what you were looking for. I've never had to search for any "soul" of Atlanta...it was always obvious to me.
