Is anyone from or familiar with Atlanta? - Trying to find info for a friend

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

my2monkeyboys replied: My aunt lives in Douglasville, Ga. It's just a bit west of Atlanta. Nice town from what I've seen.

skinkybaby replied: My inlaws live in Roswell. It's just north of Atlanta. They love it. It's a cute little town, with a lot of things nearby.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I have a friend in Alpharetta and a friend in Villa Rica. Both nice areas.

moped replied: Indy windy is from there I think.......

luvmykids replied: Thanks guys, I'll pass it on! She's got until the end of the year but is only going to be able to make ONE trip, probably a long weekend, to house hunt and is freaking out not knowing anything about the area

msoulz replied: My folks are selling their house in Dallas GA. It's a historic town and very pretty.

A&A'smommy replied: my BIL lives in Duluth which is very close to atlanta (he owns a company and a starbucks in atlanta!)

luvmykids replied: What direction from ATL are Dallas and Duluth? Her DH's job will be on the north outskirts.

Everything you wanted to know.

msoulz replied: Dallas is NW and it looks like Duluth is NE.

kit_kats_mom replied: I have a friend who lives in Newnan. It's where October Road is filmed. Beautiful old small town with a brick paved downtown area. I love her area. But, it is South of Atl. No matter where the lives, she can almost count on at least an hour commute each way. I DESPISE atlanta traffic. I don't really know much about north of ATL, I do know the city pretty well though.
