You have to realize that Atlanta is HUGE. It has very nice areas and very bad areas. I live in a very nice area surrounded by other very nice areas which are then surrounded by average areas. The city/suburb of Atlanta that I live in has a population of over 100K and averages less than 1 murder a year. From 2004 - 2006 there were NO murders. Last year there were two and it was a boss who killed two of his employees. I would certainly never generalize a US city from what I read in the paper or saw on TV or from a weekend visit.
