Dalton's charming downtown, with numerous unique shopping and dining choices, is great for an afternoon of shopping and dinner. Dalton's attractions include: Festivals, Fine Arts, Civil War history, and Prater's Mill Country Fair.

Yeah, Dalton sounds like a real dive...

Dalton also has one of the very largest Mexican-American populations in the entire southeast. So, if you're looking for a quinceñera dress or some authentic pan dulce, this is your place to stop.

As for ATL, I spent my entire adult life driving the freeways of Los Angeles - often considered the worst in the country if not the world. Arguably. I bet the folks in Rome might disagree.

I would put Atlanta's at much worse than L.A.'s.

Much of that is due to the poor driving. Too many knuckleheads swerving from the inside lane to the exit ramp after they're already almost past it, and all the pole-positioning that goes on as people shoot in and out of lanes cause a lot of accidents. That of course, causes a lot of traffic. And stress. And injuries. And damage. Yeah, ATL blows.
