This makes me want to move to Atlanta even more. I've been loving Atlanta since I was a kid. And I'm 16. I love Atlanta more than most of the people that live there, and I live 3 hours away. People will never understand what it is about this city that I love.

Atlanta is definitely one of the greatest cities in the world! Going through these freeways, I experience a feeling of connection to the past trade and rail routes which became these freeways, a feeling of a modern South, and realize how much I want to return one day for retirement long down the road. I sleep better at night seeing the home I will one day return to Freewayjim! I have everything to thank you for on that!

Hey Jim, thanks for doing this! I'm a truck driver from California and as you may know, trucks aren't allowed inside the I-285 loop unless making local deliveries. I've been to the Atlanta area loads of times but never inside the Perimeter. Your videos give me a good look at downtown Atlanta that I may never see otherwise. You rock!

That view of Midtown and then Downtown, driving southbound along I-75 & I-85 is easily one of the best skyline views along any freeway in America. Love it! Did you film this on a Sunday night, 'cause I certainly experienced more traffic when I drove this at night! And oh man, that drive thru the tunnel is great. It looks better at night, when it's all lit up. Favorited!

Hello Jim My name is Kathy I worked for Husky Systems at the time Jasper Construction Company Sub contracted through our company In order to fabricate parts for the bridge and enter walls in the United States Expressway system At that time I was the number one die setter press brake operator and of course I punchd sheard band sawed my way through hundreds of miles of structural steel I even had to do a one inch offset with a 1 inch square die That consisted of having to hit the blockout bracket twice instead of the normal one hit that I would have gotten with a offset die My boss Oliver Chapman at the time show me the blueprint and asked me how I was going to do this I said its easy I am going to hit the first brake on a stop then flip it and bump the second brake on bottom of the 1 inch square die :-) Double work but I got her done lol!

I'm not sure why you thought Jim was implying that "Buckhead" within Atlanta was somehow an incorporated city. Atlanta locals refer to that area as "Buckhead"...same thing with how local residents in San Francisco refer to northwestern San Francisco as "Richmond" or the "Richmond District", even though there's an actual city, located 15 miles northeast of San Francisco, with the exact same name.

My family moved to ATL from New England in the 1970's and I would not move back up there. The Atlanta city/area has a lot to offer and it's very easy to get around and do things and the cost of living is among the lowest among cities its size and the weather is not too bad either. It's all personal preference, what works for me may be boring to someone else.

Sorry bud, but I think you are the only one confused by this. The description in the video clearly says this is of Atlanta freeways, beginning from the neighborhood of Buckhead. Nowhere does it say "Buckhead, GA" as if referring to a city 70 miles away. I think yelling at the person who posted this was completely uncalled for. You could have simply added a comment that there is also a town of Buckhead, and it would have been educational, not rude.

I am well aware of that. BUCKHEAD in Atlanta is a community not an incorporated city. Locals simply refer to the area as "Buckhead" so while YOU perceive it as I'm calling a city I'm simply using local terminology. Sorry that wasn't good enough for you.
