Why? What is it about Atlanta? I don't know if you've spent much time in Atlanta, but the city is basically similar in vibrancy and feel to Minneapolis, or Denver, or....Seattle. Just with different demographics/culture.
If you feel this way about Atlanta because it has an image of business-growth-success, well that's partially true but largely Atlanta's civic-propaganda machine, which is matched only by Chicago and New York. The reality is that the city has a lot of urban-grit to go with the growth. Which makes it far more interesting than you might expect. More street art in Atlanta than all but a couple U.S. cities.
The main area where Atlanta wants to put Amazon is the gulch - an area similar in feel to downtown Detroit or Philly, with better transit access than anywhere in the midwest outside Chicago.
Still though, I haven't changed my tune. I expect Texas to win this - either Austin, or Dallas, or a combination of both.
