Moving to Atlanta for work need some advice

Sounds like you'll get accustomed to it just fine. Also, try to move somewhere where you'll have a reverse commute. Everyone funnels into the city in the morning and back out at night. Also...if it rains, get used to a bunch of traffic. If it snows...HAHAHA get ready for armageddon.

Will you be working around Lakewood?

 

It looks like I'll be working in Lakewood at the EUE stages

I personally don't like anywhere inside the perimeter (I-285). Lakewood is a rough area as far as I know, but I live north of Atlanta in a suburb area and try to avoid down that way as much as possible. Sorry I can't tell you much more. About the only time I go into Atlanta is for sporting events or passing through.
