I live in Atlanta....Its only ghetto in the ghetto parts like anywhere else, but most of the city of Atlanta is not ghetto .Nicknames for the city of Atlanta : ATL, Hotlanta (only people not from Atlanta say that but it needs to stop), The A, The Gate City, A-Town, Mylanta, The Dirty, The Big Peach
In the poor sections it s ghetto but looking at the metro Atlanta area as a whole it is very nice upscale comfortable city to live in.I m sure in the city you live in (and every other city in the world) there are some areas that you could define as ghetto . Atlanta is no different.
