About Atlanta

Atlanta exists because of a railroad crossing — it was founded as a rail terminus, and that same logistics instinct now runs through Hartsfield-Jackson, the world's busiest airport by passenger traffic. Georgia Tech anchors the engineering side, while the Atlanta University Center — Morehouse, Spelman, Clark Atlanta — makes it home to the largest concentration of historically Black colleges in the country, a talent pipeline the fintech and media companies here don't always get credit for drawing on.
