Metro Atlanta is huge -- 28 counties, 4.6 million people -- and growing. Yes, the downtown traffic is bad during rush hour, but the attractions are worth the effort: four major-league sports teams, ballet, opera and a nightlife that rocks to live music. Outside the city, where most Atlantans live, you'll find the landscape dotted with new, amenity-laden developments. This is the New South, not Gone With the Wind.
