Very up and coming/ hip. Midtown is nice but expensive. Buckhead is lots of upscale shopping and pretentious restaurants. The statement you made had me thinking: "My Girlfriend and I are looking for a liberal community, one preferably with some diversity and one that would have a decent gay bar that does drag shows. Sunday drag brunch has been our thing for years since we are not exactly religious." There's a gay community in Atlanta for both men and women. Lots of bars and still some drag scene going on but not like it was in the 80s. You missed that scene which was fabulous. But still the Midtown area is nice if you can afford to live there. But lots of the Midtown folks have moved to East Atlanta. You might like Decatur. Very trendy and pretty laid back. Very diverse with some great bars and eateries. Athens is nice but it's a college town. Savannah is nice too but a little too touristy for my taste. Savannah's about a 3 and 1/2 hr drive from Atlanta. Savannah is a very beautiful city. Atlanta has horrible traffic so be prepared. It does get very hot in Georgia especially in July and August. Good luck!
