Atlanta Explodes

The construction boom and sparks of real estate genius are growing at such a dizzying rate, it blows me away. It's pure dynamite... When I moved here from Memphis in 1977, it looked nothing like this. Here, Anji and I drive south on 400 thru Buckhead near Lenox Square. The tollway tunnels directly underneath these amazing buildings, and while some would say all of the construction is maddening, notice how brilliantly beautiful the scene is at the same time... The entire city is like this right now. There are skyscrapers and megacomplex shopping centers being built across the entire skyline of this great city. I wonder what it will look like in another 2o years, and if I'd recognize it at all...

No, no, don't get me wrong. It made me laugh because in the 20 years I've been here, Atlanta has exploded! It was 1.5 million when I moved here, and now it's nearly 5 million. That's a definite explosion. I was really mocking the people that seemed upset at the phrase of exploding atlanta. cheers!!!

Whats wrong with exploding Atlanta? the phrase?

[craiger5]

That must be 400 heading into Buckhead. I used to live right there when they built 400, and my house behind Lenox just missed the border, but it messed up the foundation and fucked up the house. EXPLODING ATLANTA, LMAO!!! Some people have no common sense.

I don't even like going downtown anymore because of all the construction going on. Everything is changing. Even my old neighborhood of Kirkwood has drastically changed. The apartments I stayed in when I was little have been completely changed and updated. It's kinda sad to me but change is necessary and I guess our city's economy is doing well.

explodes doesnt litterly mean a bomb. when something grows super fast and stuff appears out of nowhere, it is termed ''explodes.'' are these like little 4th graders or something? this is more like common sense.

thanks for the video
