Peachtree City, a suburb of Atlanta made the top ten. There were NO places
in Maryland, home of the KKK in the 25.
Yeah....
Well, if you like islands, you can't do much better than this one here in
Nova Scotia

Atlanta...sucks.
I've been in Atlant many times, and the only thing I found that
"sucked" was the Summer heat, Airport and the Expressway.

Some of the best blues bands and BBQ houses are in Atlanta.
I've logged 750k miles on Delta alone, and IMO the Atlanta airport is
one of the easiest large airports to get around in. It is laid out
logically, and easy to move from one concourse to another. The only
bad thing is the inevitable thunderstorm when traveling through there
on a summer afternoon. Laguardia, JFK, and Ohare suck. LAX isn't far
behind. DFW is too spread out. Salt Lake isn't bad.

Oh yeah... the international concourse in most airports have the best
food.
I hate DFW. I've missed more flights there than anywhere because of the
layout. Because the thing is shaped in an arc, it's usually a LONG way
to get to the gate you need to be at when connecting. Oakland, CA always
seems to me that I do less walking there. Living in Atlanta, I know
Hartsfield well, and it IS a nice airport, easy to find your way around,
although huge!

I don't think many airports are as easy to get around in as Tampa's.
I've always liked the layout of that airport.

Trams take passengers from the center hub to the outer islands. Works
well.

Orlando (MCO) is very similar. The "C" concourse at O'Hare (ORD) for
United has an interesting underground moving sidewalk.
