Does Atlanta 'FEEL' like a southern or east-coast city?

As an outsider not from Atlanta:

Atlanta not only looks like a Southern city, it kind of establishes the general format of all cities in the traditional core part of the southern US. Charlotte, Raleigh, Greenville, Columbia, Birmingham and in a very distant way even Orlando all kind of have the same general layout its just that Atlanta is so much bigger.

Basically what you expect from any city in the deep south is a relatively dense downtown that's sort of linear and follows 1 major road, a well defined wedge-shaped territory of wealth that has some kind of satellite downtown anchored by a luxury mall, then you also have a well defined poor area, and the suburbs are extremely low density with spaghettified streets and lots of tree cover.
