Atlanta wasn't built on its river but on a ridge a few miles away, so the Chattahoochee isn't something you think about. (Unless you have to commute across it, as I did back when commutes were a thing, and you realize that your route choices are seriously limited by that fact.) On the bright side a lot of the river has been preserved for recreation as a result.
