What exactly is so bad about driving there? Just curious :)

  The road system is overloaded for a city of its size. There is one big connector type freeway going north and south, and then "The Perimeter" which is a circular freeway encircling the whole metro area. And that's about it for freeways, in a metro area of 5.5 million. The rest of it is very narrow surface roads which follow former livestock paths in a hilly wooded area.

    Exactly like DC.

      From what I gather, it is worse than DC. Atlanta grew/spread in a manner unprecedented in known human history. It is not up against a natural barrier like the coast or an artificial barrier like a state border. It is pretty horrible.
