Spent Christmas there. It is scenic, but I find it to be just sort of "strange" as far as people and community. Too many wierd belief, religious and value systems in one place. I found it almost depressing when you stop focusing on the scenic and looking at the people. There are other big cities that I really enjoy visiting. I live in and love Atlanta. But too many people there seem to be wierded out. Its a 2 class society for the most part, mostly due to the cost of living. The very rich and the pretty poor. Most of the younger folks starting careers leave. Murder rates are on the rise. Mostly people who know each other. They probably shoudn't be allowed to carry. That would be scarry. OK to visit, once or twice, but would not want to live there. Definitely not raise a family there.
