Watching this on my big screen. This is reminding me of the last time I drove through Atlanta and I was alone and feeling so car sick. I had to stop as soon as I was able to. I told myself never again! Ugh! Thanks for doing these travel videos. It makes me like I’m in the car. I don’t miss that traffic though at all.
Those buildings you saw as you got on 285 west were the king and queen buildings, part of the concourse office complex which is, in turn, part of yet another one of Atlanta's skylines, Perimeter Center, which is in dunwoody and sandy springs, two actual suburban cities in the metro. As you go from 285 west to 75 north you'll pass Cumberland/Vinings and its office towers and business complexes, yet another skyline of the Atlanta metro.
I've lived in east point, west midtown and now perimeter center. I've liked all of them for different reasons but, perimeter is super convenient to almost everything
When they said grew to 500k people that’s just the City limits of Atlanta. Not counting Marietta, Sandy Springs and all the other large cities in thst area. But if you count them all your looking at around 6 Million people out there.
that other skyline you mentioned in this video at 44:42 as you was on interstate 85 going over the bridge, that other cluster of tall buildings and skyline you saw off in the distance was the buckhead skyline, buckhead is a expensive area of atlanta and is where a lot of celebrities live and have there multi $million dollar condos.
It took me at least 3 hours to get through the Atlanta area a couple years ago coming north from Florida to Illinois. It moved most of the time but it just took forever and there is not other way around it either.
I feel ya. I make this drive from Macon, GA twice a week to make deliveries for a private baker. Tuesdays are ok, but then Fridays! I joke, yet seriously to make a point to my company heads that when traffic comes to a dead stop... I'd jump into the back of the van, crank up the music, and jam out! I kid, but at times, I probably could! I learned to make the best out of the worse. Defensive driving is a must when you least expect to.
New York is aggressive with the horn, we’re aggressive with the entire car and reckless driving. Like we’re putting our entire lives for the sake of that spot. Me included. Keep Atlanta dangerous. @@blackcruze1379
@@blackcruze1379well considering New York has 4 times as many people duhh but if you look at any statistic Atlanta is top 3 in traffic New York is top 5 😂
In a way, ATL kinda sorta has two Downtowns. Atlanta proper and I think the other is Bankhead or Buckhead. I'm trying to familiarize myself with ATL because I plan on moving there in a year or so
That other skyline is buckhead. One of the many skylines of Atlanta. And buckhead is actually in the city limits. Not a suburb. GA 400 used to be a toll road. Not anymore.
I’ve lived in a small town my whole life, right? Never seen more than 3 lanes of traffic. I gotta go through Atlanta to get to Florida. End up getting on 75 by 285 at 8am without my glasses and a full car of kids. To say I about died of a heart attack is an understatement.
The best time to go through Atlanta is between 2am and 4am. You can even drive through downtown on 75/85 without too much traffic at that time of the morning.
ATL’s metro I heard takes up half of Georgia’s population and it’s larger than many state’s populations. Missouri has the same population as the Atlanta metro area.
I think traffic in Atlanta is horrendous. Their must’ve been at least 3 accidents. I honestly think the traffic is worse than NYC. Seems like their city grew faster than the road infrastructure can handle.
Tell Katie thanks for making me addicted to House Flipper! Okay listen…..it’s actually really fun and I always will be thankful for y’all, I watched the video of Jose playing it and I was laughing my a$$ off at school, anyway, Have a good day :)
The reason why Houston add Dallas traffic is not as bad as Atlanta is cause Houston and Dallas has a toll road system which Atlanta doesn't have. Houston n Dallas hall had way bigger metro population than Atlanta. ...
@@jzoedua80 That’s not the only major reason. Atlanta I-75 is the gateway to Florida for many people from the Midwest, and vice versa. Atlanta is the Black Mecca in America, people flock there like they did Hollywood back in the day.

@@jzoedua80and they have grid system newer better planned interstates, as most in more western states. This is the opposite in older states and their interstates aren’t grid like and we’re developed a lot earlier in tandem with their railroad grids as well.
Atlanta metro as a whole is growing. Despite the crime,there's alot of opportunities in large metro areas and, well, people gotta make a living. The good outweighs the bad. And yes I'm weird. 🤣I watch your videos of commutes thru Atlanta. I love Atlanta. Its my home town. The traffic? No. But you keep on postin em. I'll watch em. 😁💯💪🏾
Houston and Dallas freeways are 4 and six lanes on each side across. Freeways stacked on top of freeways. There is no comparison. And thats not to mentioning the HOV and 3 Belts that circle the city.
My personal opinion is Dallas the spaghetti bowl. Houston has outlets depending on if u want longer routes. 610, the, Belts, Sam Houston Pkwy and parts of 99. Atlanta traffic wasn't bad. It just moves slower.
Never again will I drive in that shit! No matter where I'm coming from/going to? If I'm arriving anywhere near Atlanta (Not Counting Sunday) I'd get me a Hotel Room and/or crash out at the earliest until after around 9:30 a.m., going and coming! No way he hill will I get caught up in that shit again!
I'm confused about the population conversation. I just read a couple weeks ago that Atlanta over took miami as the 8th most populated metro in the country.
What's so currupted of reasons why the south has more crime now of overall is list of states up North, Midwest are moving by bring more of there problems coming from restrictive state with restrictive laws . Coming from up north from St. Louis Police are out restrictively all the time with the restrictions laws . In Atlanta don't have those restrictions like up north. Back then North as of more people than the south but now south has more ppl than up north.
L.A. has the worst traffic fasho! NYc has bad traffic but they keep it moving or they will move you! ATL is nice tho. A lot of trees.How you know when ur n the actual city?
traffic on the downtown connector never really is bad unless if there is an accident or if you’re just on the entrance ramp. the other freeways are a completely different story.
I live in Atlanta North Georgia my travel to work downtown Atlanta is awful in the morning around 7:30am. It’s not bad people moving to get to work but afternoon 4:30-6pm traffic is the Worst. I love ATL so much culture.
Once they go under Highway 166 and when I-75 North and I-85 North connect traffic is going to shut down on them all the way up to Norcross and beyond. They are having a lot of race conversations in this video and seem to know where all the black rappers are from and the crime rate in Atlanta.
Great video but I had to watch with the volume turned down with the dude constantly yammering in the background and trying to sing. Got on my nerves. Again the video is very good.
Just came across this video and I have ask , really 1:30 min video of you all driving and talking ,can't figure out why you don't have 30 billion subscribers 🙄 🤔
do you understand how important this video is to someone who has NEVER seen ATL? or to someone serving a life sentence and will NEVER see their hometown again? .. or to someone who got deported.. or to someone in a wheelchair who cant travel anymore.. you have NO IDEA how meaningful this video is to someone.
They warned on news last week that Georgia now has more illegal immigrants than Florida and Texas. All of them want to drive. And majority of them are even without a dl or insurance. Helping increase traffic volumes with nowhere to be at.
That's literally impossible. The majority of the population are not from Atlanta, they are from different parts of the US and the world. The south side burbs tend to be truly southern, but to say the entire population is country absolutely not.
@@mikegibson673 Whatever u are probably a native of Atlanta ur crazy Atlanta is so overated and country its not funny now it's better than Charlotte but it's not all that people make it out to be that's for sure Charlotte is the straight pits .
This is any Atlantans dream, traffic that actually moves
