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 suppose if you hang out at the airport... ajc.com Metro Atlanta ATLANTA Report lists Atlanta second least safe city in U.S. By CHRISTIAN BOONE The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Sunday, June 07, 2009 Atlanta is the nation’s second least safe city, according to an independent analysis of FBI crime statistics that’s been disputed by some experts. The ranking, compiled by the Web site Real Clear Politics, was derived by dividing the total crimes detailed in the FBI’s report by city population. Atlanta’s per-capita crime rate measured at 16 percent. “Determining whether a city is safe or not is not as easy as that,” said Chuck Wexler, executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum, which has representatives from law enforcement agencies nationwide. “That’s a very simplistic approach.” The annual FBI statistics, released last week, have been a mixed bag for Atlanta. The positive: Violent crime decreased 8.3 percent in 2008 compared with 2007, with 672 fewer such incidents. Property crimes, however, rose 7.6 percent in Atlanta; nationwide, a 1.6 percent decrease was reported — the first time property crime fell since 2003. Burglaries and larcenies were both on the rise locally, the FBI said. Whether perception or reality, crime has become a major concern for Atlantans, and it’s emerged as the leading issue in the upcoming mayoral election. “That’s certainly what a lot of Atlantans I’ve talked to have felt,” said Kyle Keyser, director and co-founder of Atlantans Together Against Crime. “They feel like it’s dangerous, regardless of what neighborhood you live in.” After Memphis, with an 18 percent crime rate, Atlanta, San Antonio, Detroit and Milwaukee ranked as America’s least safe cities, according to the Real Clear Politics analysis. - - - I was at the Atlanta airport a few months ago, in February, I think, for a meeting. It's an OK airport. In terms of large U.S. airports, I prefer O'Hare, maybe because it serves Chicago and I like Chicago...great hotels, great restaurants, great museums, great shopping, good downtown area to walk around...the lake...and for an old Yankee like me...real winter. |

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! |
