Best city between these two?

I would take traffic into consideration. Dont know about Miami, but traffic problems in Atlanta might put you off.
Good luck.

I disagree, I live in Clearwater, FL, in the Tampa St Pete area, it's pretty good, especially for shopping, sorry, pretty weak for stereos, those the reason I visit this site so much. I grew up outside of NYC and have lived in Atlanta, there's enough here to keep me happy, and I can live on the beach.... Try that in Atlanta!

Go to Atlanta, great city, great food, great culture. The NYC of the south. Not quite as hot as Miami, not so far from the ocean that you can't get there, mountains(go to "On the Viranda" in Lakewood NC, incredible cuisine) are just a couple of hours away to the north. Yes its busy and has traffic, name a city that has grown as fast and offers much that doesn't have these problems. Is it London, Chicago, Paris, or New York? Of course not, its Atlanta. And think a little bit about what you can bring to the city, not what all you want to take from it.
And no, I don't live there now, but have, my best friend does live there, owns a restaurant with her husband called Fuego(tapas, Spanish foods) which I did supply the sound system for. And I am from Chicago and lived many years in many places, Boston, Seattle, DFW, all great cities and Atlanta is one of them.

The difference between Miami and yogurt is that yogurt has an active culture. Go with Atlanta.

if you like to sit in traffic move to atlanta. i live 60 miles from atlanta. it does have some good things about it. miami has nice things and is on the beach , big plus. i think miami is a little rough though. i would rather live in orlando, clearwater ,,tampa, hollywood, ft lauderdale, and my little town athens ga. than either city.
