This morning, as i made my usual walk through Atlanta's midtown to the restaurant I'm a temporarily hostess at, it dawned on me that Atlanta is so much cleaner than other American cities. This point is highlighted by the constant absence of roaches and vermin. Although they may be seen from time to time (most frequently in the underground train tunnels), it is nothing compared to the sheer volume I have seen on my short visits to big cities like New York, Chicago and Dallas or older cities like Savannah, New Orleans and Little Rock.
It's lovely to wake up in the morning, pick up a coffee and walk along the white pavement of midtown Atlanta surrounded by clean gutters (does someone sweep them everyday? I've never seen anyone!), vibrant flowers and bright sunlight that's reflected off the brand new buildings.
