Understand What Atlanta Is

Understand that Atlanta is NOT a state. Georgia is the state.  Atlanta is a small City or Metro area  Georgia. When people talk about Atlanta they mainly mean the places like midtown or Decatur. People come to the state of Georgia expecting majority of the place to be Atlanta.

Understand that Atlanta Ga is in the south of the nation and is a southern state. No matter how much people from everywhere come and try to change that. Atlanta is in Georgia and Georgia is an agricultural state. Georgia is one of the leaders in the nation for agriculture. Georgia produces chicken eggs, tobacco, cotton etc. People come to Atlanta GA expecting this lavish and opportune, southern version of New York city                                                                                                                     

Understand that Atlanta GA is one of the 10 states that is mostly populated by the African American race. (especially Atlanta) and unfortunately, where there are many black people, things aren't always as great as they seem. This goes into a whole different topic but i'll make it brief. Black folks don't make things better they make things kinda worse. We are sort of stuck with poverty where ever we go. So when we are in one spot our neighborhoods aren't the nicest or safest. We have pot holes and empty real-estate just sitting around. Our communities are basically non-existent and our governments are weak. So many people come expecting paradise and a great place only to be hit with this reality.

Understand that the "Big City" is actually confined to a small area of the state. This causes things such as bad traffic, horrible transit and not much to do. There isn't much space to live out the city life that is often imagined without bumping into the true nature of the state. The options that you have start becoming very limited depending on your lifestyle. People are often shocked by things like live stock or racism and Christianity in Georgia once they leave the metro Atlanta area.
Understand that
Atlanta is in Georgia and Georgia is a red state. Red states come with red state things. People are surprised by things such as the pro-life, or racism once they leave the boundaries of the Atlanta area.
