  • wait for me next year ,atlanta

  • FYI at 4:41 you can see the Westin Peachtree Plaza in the upper left with some replacement windows from the freak 2008 tornado that ripped through downtown.

  • i work at emory midtown.

  • Vsauce 

  • i love this area... decatur sucks! I wished I lived in the city of ATL

  • i REALLY LOVE THIS FOR A MOMENT I THOUGHT I WAS IN DOWNTOWN RALEIGH NC.

  • Atlanta>>>>>New York City

  • miss home,do they still have the car shows down dy the fox? in the summer time

  • ATL Baby!!!

  • New Jersey and New York are considered south of the mason Dixon line.

  • @kattychattyful No, the Mason Dixon line is south of PA & Delaware.

  • @kattychattyful ... they're north of the Mason-Dixon line

  • Thanks for the hospitality USA!!!!!!!

  • It feels great to know I'm fucking adopted!!!!!!

  • I would love to move here, but im wondering hows the transit system here and how is the cost of living here because I am a student and wouldnt want to pay a lot of money but I wouldnt want to be forced to live ghetto either...lol

    .

  • Awesome video! I had an opportunity to stay in Atlanta for an year. That was my first visit to the US :) And I have fond memories of it!! Been on many streets that you have shown in this video !! And also to the Marget Mitchell house, and the High museum of Art :D Super video, and nice background music ;)

  • @jayasimha80 Thank you!

  • Thanks for the ride! So totally different from European cities, like Bristol in England, for example, with our narrower streets, lots of twists and turns, historic buildings, more of a cosy intimacy, and buzzing with life.

  • Great video.

  • @highamleescott Thanks!

  • @DaRyanMac cool I love Atlanta also I used 2 live dere

  • @Gemsyther Cool, I live in Dacula.

  • @freewayjim OHHH I LIVE IN GWINNETT COUNTY LOGANVILLE GA N SNELLVILLE

  • @freewayjim do u live in Atlanta I do

  • @Gemsyther Yes, I live in Gwinnett Co.

  • @freewayjim I said it totally wrong my words were wrong I meant its a great place 2 live and visit but not the ghetto n slang parts of Atlanta

  • @Gemsyther Fair enough for sure!

  • @MrWill1985 read my message below it goes 4 u

  • I live in atlanta trust me once u visited Atlanta ull b wanting 2 move 2 LA it's alot of shooting n crimes n things but there is a Lot of fun like the coke factory n chocolate factory n other things but not great place 2 live at

  • @Gemsyther I disagree, every big city has shootings & crime, live in the suburbs, the Metro area is great! City is OK to vidit but Buckhead and Midtown are the places to go. METRO Atlanta as a whole is a great place to live.

  • @Freewayjim Definitely agree with this. Atlanta is my favorite city, and I'm a fairly critical person :-)

  • Id like to eventually move to either ATL or Charlotte NC to get away from the Northeast. Especially Baltimore. How is Atlanta and would it be a good place to live?

  • @MrWill1985 I'm originally from NH and have lived in Atlanta since 1977, I like it very much and recommend it as a place to live. The cost of living here is far more reasonable than what you find in the northeast. Charlotte is also a nice city.

  • @Freewayjim I know people who moved to South Carolina because the cost of living there is cheaper then Maryland. And thats among reasons Id like to move to either Charlotte or Atlanta. Also the fact that Charlotte and Atlanta actually make criminals do jail time for their crimes and Baltimore City seems to rarely do that. And hopefully NC and GA are states where residents vote for who they think will do best in office for government positions. Unlike MD who always votes democrat regardless.

  • @MrWill1985 Downtown Atlanta is deep blue politically, the rest of the state is deep red, draw your conclusions from that.

  • Comment removed

  • Atlanta! The second Chocolate City in the U.S.

  • You make me happ i lieve here... Thnk ya'

  • @DaGreenMarshmello You are welcome!

  • This is one of my favorite videos, looks like Atlanta is a beautiful city like the music too. Thumbs up.

  • @expresswayjess Thank you!

  • That would be awsome if you could show me your new vid of hotlanta!

    MUCH APPRECIATED

  • @ljr3000onforesthill Sure thing, just go to my main Channel Page and on on the right scroll down under uploads and you'll see the Atlanta section with 29 different videos.

  • Thx,you saved me coin on buyiny an atlanta dvd.

    P.s. Have you seen nene from the real housewives of atlanta :)

  • @ljr3000onforesthill Sorry, I don't watch that show. BTW I have more ATL videos in HD including a similar remake of this ride.

  • take the speed on the camera off, do this at about 5 p.m, and you'll have a 2 hour video.

  • I still love My city though, this is where I was born and raised!

  • No one in Atlanta knows how to drive, most Atlantians are implants from other parts so blame the country, but Florida drivers are worse if that's possible.

  • @glamkitten24 I agree with you on Florida drivers. Charlotte and Washington DC/Northern VA are really bad as well.

  • Slow down, you're gonna kill someone!

  • @billadama The video is sped up 2-3x

  • really weird that i enjoyed watching this but i hate atlanta traffic haha!

  • just look at atlanta on google maps, it's AMAZING how many trees there are. atlanta is beautiful

  • What is the fill in the blank part about? Whats the answer, hookers, drugs and what?

  • @Chanel0914 Pretty much all that, that area use to be reallllly bad.

  • Was that a yellow fire hydrant in the middle of the street?

  • Atlanta makes you feel young, inspired and proud. Its' the new mecca of the south offering something for everyone. I hope to one day to retire there. The only pitfall I see is being priced out of the housing or condo market. As with any city as it grows so grows the taxation and property value. If the major can keep this under control over the next ten years, I'll definitely become a proud citizen. My hometown is Miami, and you can't live there unless you make over $90-100 thousand annually.

  • I loved this city since 1993, when I first entered it. Since then, its done nothing but grow and prosper. I like the current ethnic diversity there, with the migration of other cultures give it a more multi-cultural feel. Any truely great city has that diversity. I love the condo's, homes, resturants and shopping. I also enjoy the night life, which could be world class with a few changes. I love the parks and events held in them each year. I love the tall building, lights and energy.

  • Wow! Atlanta is such a great city, mates!

    

  • the lynching state!

    run by dirty cops and their armed snitches

  • @millerlois23 I love the idea of freedom of speech and expression but there is a time and place for everything and your comments are not appropriate for this forum, please take them somewhere else if you must express yourself in that manner.

  • @Freewayjim I was thinking of moving here with my kids. Is it a good place to go? I heard it was really great price wise :P

  • @DillonStanfordTV I've lived here since 1977 (I was 12) so I think it's a good place to live and raise a family but not knowing your situation it's impossible for me to say if it's right for you. But yes the cost of living on Atlanta is probably the most economical of any eastern city, just keep in mind that the closer to the city you live, the more expensive everything is, and the farther out you go the more traffic you have to deal with. It's a trade-off.

  • @Freewayjim I also mean move to, stay.

  • That is a big ass downtown smh!

  • Atlanta is the American version of Somalia. It's infrastructure is broken rated worst commute in the nation by Forbes. Tons of trash, graffiti and homeless blacks.

  • @DewDrinker87 trash graffiti and homelessness?.....ive lived here 28 years (my whole life) and don't know what youre talking about....atlanta is one of the cleanest cities (for a major city) ive encountered...graffiti is sparse, and homelessness is in any major city...do u live here?.......

  • @wc64129 Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!

  • @wc64129 i realy like but his or her driving to fast / tha i ca"nt see wherre his goin????

  • This is really wonderful.

  • Best Cities See Inner ATL

  • Its a ghost town unlike NYC.where`s the people?

  • @TruheadzaNo I've had to say this dozens of times within these comments, I filmed this on a New Year's Day in the mid-afternoon, I shot it on a non-workday on purpose so I would have less traffic to deal with, Atlanta is NOT a ghost town.

  • I am a current resident of a suburb outside of Atlanta. I hear a lot about LA traffic...

    Atlanta traffic is pretty bad too.

  • Very nice! Great cruising music....Thanks for the post!

  • @mrsid45 Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

  • Nice Music. Nice Video. Nice City. Haven't been to Atlanta in 10 years and since I got family over there, the video brought nice memories.

    P.S. Sorry not a native speaker.

  • @TheGladysesther Thank you!

  • moving to ATL in mid OCTOBER, to start my acting/singing career! can yall please recommend some next apartments or condos.. ASAP!

  • Atlanta is DEFINITELY an East Coast version of Los Angeles. NO JOKE!

  • Florida or Georgia?

  • See ATL The Best ATL Its City Of Rapper

  • Oh my gosh! I got dizzy to watch this in fast motion hehe... but great video tour! I've always wanted to visit the south part of USA and Atlanta is in my list. Thanks for the video ;)

  • i bet your breaks r shit

  • @superfruit21 I'll bet they aren't.

  • the best place to be is ATL.

  • Really great video, very nice done. It gives a good street view of the Atlanta, GA, USA. Wonderful sound choice as well, love it. :) Really great, thumbs up.

  • @itknowledge24 Thank you, I did a similar tour in HD a few months ago that is on here.

  • @Freewayjim Yes, however, this video is just so awesome. :) I really like it. Everything is perfect, sound combination, the way you filmed it with the camera etc. Very nice. :)

  • @itknowledge24 Well thanks, I do appreciate that.

  • @Freewayjim No problem. you are welcome. I like watching videos like this one, because I've never been into United States, so the only way currently to get a good view of how it looks on the groud, steets is by watching videos folks who live there have filmed and created. :)

  • @Freewayjim While I am a computer geek, check our my website itknowledge24 (.) com :) Tell me what you think!! But I like your video.

  • @itknowledge24 Looks like a neat site but I'm a Mac user so there isn't much for me there, good luck with it though.

  • @Freewayjim Thanks! :)

  • @MrChampion904 Trafic,Wrecks,J-Walkers,Dumb Drivers,Etc

  • I take it you can't stand dumb drivers and jaywalkers.

  • @cparkes92 Nope

  • Thank you for this vid! I'm hoping to move to Atlanta soon after I graduate college next year. *fingers crossed*

  • @LadieTiger Good Luck!

  • @MrChampion904 Live someplace else for a while and you'll figure it out.

  • atlanta could be so beautiful. we need a good metro system so the people can actually integrate with the city life

  • ugly city tampa bay kills this peice of crap what happend to georgia

  • These videos are so cool to me. I love photography so I like to go to big cities to take pictures of there skylines and to me Atlanta has the most spread out. I love it though because it can look so small but yet its actually really large. I love this city just not the traffic. I'm from the Columbus, Ga area and I get nervous driving around up there. Thanks for making all these I might be moving to the Atlanta area soon.

  • @geraldd4 You're welcome! Atlanta actually has three skylines; Downtown, Midtown and Buckhead.

  • thank you for this! I may be coming to Atlanta early November, and if I will, I'll be staying in Peachtree St. near the art museum (1:50)

    now I just wonder if anyone would like to join me... :-)

  • @Pushkinli theres an entire 3/4 of the city you would wouldnt even want to drive through, theres nothing to do, the job markets terrible, the traffic is worse and the people are rude, and if anyone wants to join you there probably not good company

  • No place like home!!!!!!

  • immm in georgia ;DD street looks familiar xD

  • PUERTO RICANS STAY OUT OF GEORGIA ITS RACIST AND IM SENDING JURAKAN THE HURRICAN GOD TO DESTROY IT

  • Great Video!

  • Interesting. You can still see the damage on the Westin from a couple of years ago. Also, it sucks that Atlanta has lost the Thrashers. I'm from Georgia (I live in Raleigh) and I always rooted in secret for my home state hockey team.

  • LOL...the woman cutting people off while yapping on the phone. I live here, and Atlanta has the worst drivers I've seen anywhere. They don't pay any attention at all to what the hell they're doing.

    Cool little tour of Peachtree Street though...

  • @Kiridis NO. worst drivers are in california oh my gawd. u havent been out have you? =_= and careless street walkers ; ^ ; stupid skater guy was just skating along trying to go across and then i almost ran over him..he tried to make it at the last minute ;U

  • Nice city..

  • I went here during the spring break and it is beautiful. It's like a paradise.

  • Jeez, people do drive crazy in Atlanta:O

  • crazy americano drivers!

  • great driver great video!! im new to Atlanta wheres the hood at? lol

  • @1718surprise why you wanna know that so you can get shot

  • @1718surprise There are rarely any "hoods" LOL

  • You left the Dome, Capitol, and Phillips Arena out! Great video though, A town down.

  • @babamnky Thank, I did not go to those areas, videos can only be so long.

  • Very nice! I like your updated complimentary video to this one as well. In general your videos are great and informative. Thanks for taking the time to do them.

  • @Luvforoneanother Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy them!

  • Yes,.. but I've been to NY, SF, Wash DC LA. St.Lou ,Philly, live near Chicago ,but Atlanta wins in this door prize my friend as being unsafe. with Miami and New Orleans as being close runners up.>>>Like your videos by the way they are "educational"

  • @indianastan Thanks, glad you enjoy the videos. I've lived in ATL since 1977 and have seen most every city east of the Miss, ATL definitely has it's bad pockets but is not unsafe in general areas "on the beaten path" IMO.

  • All I remember of Atlanta was I was attacked by so many panhandlers and in general feeling unsafe. Atlanta going to be the next " Detriot"

  • @indianastan You can find that element in any big city.

  • tour's ok....impatient driving, very annoying.

  • @adfox1nf Keep in mind that sped up video makes it look more impatient than it really was. Check out the new 2011 Tour in HD.

  • if you no spencer eason comment yes

  • good

  • You did a great job with this video. I'm from the Atlanta area and I feel that you had a lot of helpful information for someone who might not be from the area. And it was just a nice video of a daytime cruise through the city. Good job!

  • @kiddkreme Thank you, if you liked this then check out the 2011 HD version of this video I that I recently released.

  • Atlanta is a pretty dull place. I mean besides the tall buildings and lights what else is in Atlanta. Every time you make a video about your beloved "ATLANTA" all I see is downtown and midtown Atlanta or places where there are tall buildings. Does Atlanta have other neighbors with history, significance,sites or culture?

  • @KeepingItReal87 You are a real moron you know that? I'm not filming a chamber of commerce video or a historical documentary, I film roads that I feel others will find interesting. Look at my other videos and you might just "get it".

  • @Freewayjim Well dude i agree with KeepingitReal87,i mean i just moved here from Detroit a year ago and most of Atlanta is all hype, dont get me wrong its a great place to live..when you want to settle down.....when your old...or want to "Blend" in because everyone looks the same down here with there skinny jeans,plaid shirts,and Tight ass shirts for those flexy look at me niggas, and aint shit worth driving 1 hour to a club thas going to be a let down and waste of money, Sorry need i go on

  • @LJ4real Whatever.

  • @KeepingItReal87 You are a pretty dull person. I mean besides that fact that your a troll, what else can you throw at this video? Every time you make a comment that holds yourself to "HIGH ESTEEM" all I see is your fear and ignorance of a city you know you've never been to. Do you by chance have any humility, respect, pride or a life?

  • -i live in da A but i live in dekalb but its the samething but i think is pretty damn cool...and believe it or no ALOT of celebrities live here!!!

  • i love atl! For the ppl that say its boring u prob dont get out that much. There are SO many different clubs, places to eat, places to shop, so many different things to do. I always find a new place to go to everytime Im downtown and if ur bored with downtown all u have to do is go 10 or 15 mins down the street and ur in a different city lol

  • All your videos seem to be in Atlanta. I mean Atlanta is pretty boring. A few tall buildings here and there is all that defines that place. That's pretty lame. There are no people on the sidewalks. All those country bumpkins do is drive everywhere. That is why people in the south are so fat. Atlanta wants to be modern well build a better transit network and create ordinances to encourage people to cut down on automobile emissions.

  • @KeepingItReal87 Really? #1 I live in Atlanta so it's easy to shoot but I have videos from all over the east coast, Texas and New Orleans. #2) ATL is NOT a boring place, I shot this video on New Years Day 2009 so it's reasonable to expect the streets to be empty, I filmed it on that day ON PURPOSE so traffic would be light. I have a new version of this coming soon and guess what! there are people out waling around and they all arent fat either? Got anymore ignorant comments?

  • @KeepingItReal87 Really, I can't believe how ignorant your post was. Do you just enjoy crapping on things without knowing all the facts because that's what you did.

  • i love this city

  • I love Atlanta But i HATE the traffic.Ohh the traffic so bad but other than that i love it:)

  • Atlanta Is Great One My Favorites Places To The United States

    Great Video.

  • nice one. thanks for posting.

    take care

  • I agree terrible drivers here. Especially the black chicks.. talk about attitude on wheels man. Never seen such a pissed of group of people please TURN DOWN YOUR HOT 107.9 and realize no1 thinks your cool because you drive like a bad ass to the next red-light.

  • justin bieber lives there...um have u seen him yet?

  • @MissFabHelen Never seen him, something tells me we don't travel in the same circles :)

  • @Freewayjim haha. oKay wait one more question..is it nice there...Is everywhere like rich and famous?

  • @MissFabHelen Atlanta is a VERY nice and affordable city to live in. There are good and bad parts of it as with any big city. There are lots of rich and famous people here because it's such a nice place to live, many choose to buy a home here.

  • @Freewayjim ok thanks

  • so many horrible drivers, especially that chick with the phone on the convertible....almost got you into an accident

  • bad drivers indeed

  • Looks less transited than San Diego California,I'm going to live there soon for school reasons,Looks real nice!! damn excited

  • dude, it's ga not MA, no right turns on red

  • @atreusK Dude, you can turn right on red in GA unless there is sign stating otherwise.

  • Can I get people's opinion about Atlanta for those who have lived there? Im moving from LA for various of reasons and my top places to move are Atlanta or Chicago. So if I could get people's opinion about ATL it would be much appreciated. Thumbs up so more people can see my question please.

  • Is there a lot of traffic in ATL? I'm movin from LA and I dont wanna move to a city that has half as bad traffic as LA does

  • ha ha atlanta looks fantastic, i wait nazis to say oh city goes to hell when u have too much black people, lol more blacks in atlanta than white, race does not mean much in capitalism, capitalism is only way

  • @udical Atlanta metro (covers about 10 counties) is 75 percent races other than black.

  • is there a HD version?
