I am curious what kind of interviewing/vetting process you use to find your guides. Whatever the process is, you do a great job with it. This fella was another great choice.
@@tvo6453He's obviously not a Native 😂. I was born here, lived here all my life. But the changes have been so gradual I barely notice the difference. I live in Decatur now, but my favorite place to live was years ago in an apartment in the Morningside area near the old Jewish Temple. (the oldest in the SE!)
I visited Atlanta when a family member graduated Delta’s flight attendant school. It’s a gorgeous city with a lot of stark differences. The architecture, food, nightlife and general kindness of the people there were very memorable. I’d definitely go back to visit.
My uncle passed away a few years ago. We live in ohio and he lived in downtown atlanta for 20 years. He would always rave about the people there and how nice everyone was and the food that he got compared to anywhere else. He eventually settled in florida for a bit and then houston but he would always go back to Atlanta on vacations to go spend money locally there and eat his favorite foods. He really loved it there!
As a native I really am thankful to hear that. Thank you so much. My ancestors lived here as far back as I can tell. I would have loved to have met your uncle and I may have for all I know. Thank you!!
I see Peter's videos because it shows me reality, upto a great extent. I feel I will never travel to these corners of the world, till I see Peter's conversations. Thanks for adding a bit to Peter's story.
Ponce City Market was originally Sears department store. It sat empty for nearly two decades. It's a gorgeous building and they don't make buildings like that anymore. I remember going there as a child to shop.
As an Atl native this series was interesting. You can divide the city (ITP) like a compass and get a completely different vibe. There are so many layers and angles to Atlanta that it would take some time to get a real pulse, but this was overall a great series on new Atl.
I grew up in Dekalb Co. in the 60s and 70s. Atlanta was 1/4 the size it is now. Dude, you would have to drive for days to see the whole Metro area. The 13 county Metro area is now about 100 miles in diameter. Traffic sucks everywhere. 6.5 million people and cars everywhere. I think a lot of the people you talked too aren't really familiar with the history. The Ponce City Market you went to on Ponce was originally the Sears Roebuck bldg. The perimeter you rode on really was in the late 60s but is an inner city racetrack now. My uncle (God rest his soul) was an Air Force fighter pilot and he refused to drive through ATL. What does that tell you lol.
@@leetheviewer2856 I mean statistically speaking, New York city is much safer than Atlanta. The violent crime index in Atlanta is 222 above the national average. New York city is actually 73 BELOW the national average. In fact, NYC is one the top 10 safest large cities in the world. I was born and raised here in Atlanta. You guys think its nice because you're not used to it. Its called the Halo effect. But the truth is, literally everyday, there's some green out-of-towner getting sent home in a box because they miscalculated the vibe here and thought it was something spiritual about this place. Lmao!
@@lanardfletcher1422 I’m gonna be real with you, I lived in New York since I was a kid and witnessed shit a child would never see. Trust me New York is not as “safe” as you think. Maybe in white people areas yeah, but please don’t tell me ALL of New York is safer than Atlanta. At least in Atlanta for me i don’t go through that often as I do in New York. But people never talk about that, so of course you believe in that de blasio bullshit. (No offense)
@@leetheviewer2856 so all these very much verifiable statistics are wrong because YOU grew up fucked up?!? Lmaooo ….short sightedness is a disease. You’re the very kind of mfs that come up missing in MY city. But good luck though gangster.
I'm traveling the country right now, but Atlanta is home. Atlanta is so big and has so many different neighborhoods and they each have their own personality. Atlanta is a great place to live; Atlanta has so much going on and so many opportunities!
@@ATLbench Not pretty really but its got charm and a lot of history. Unlikely to visit again as I have taken a shine to Pennsylvania. Probably my next US holiday.
@@Jrhynie I think you really have to live in both places, Atlanta and Athens, to get the feel of how they are so different. I love Atlanta but Athens is a special place. Once you get immersed in the music and restaurant scenes of Athens it’s magnificent. I lived there as a student and so it was a unique time in my life, a magical time. You could go to a big concert in Atlanta a pay a ton of money or go see the same performer in Athens the next night and might even get to meet them! And everything is 75% less expensive in Athens. I’m not sure either city is a fantastic tourist destination but both are home to me. I’ve only ever driven through Pennsylvania on my way to New York, never stopped to check it out. Maybe one day.
@@ATLbench Yes I said something similar to my girlfriend. I wouldn't recommend either as a tourist destination. You need to be at college kid or music head for Athens. I was the latter. I can take her to Pennsylvania with a bit more confidence, rugged Philly is interesting if nothing else. Historical places like Valley Forge and ultra quaint Lancaster County is more our pace as we are not kids anymore.
Thanks for the video Peter! Thanks to Qua for that beautiful art. I love that your videos show me people, places, and culture that I would probably never see otherwise. I love to learn and hear these different perspectives and stories.
Love my city. Been many years since I've lived there. My grandma grew up on Ponce. The house she grew up in still had a cannonball in the wall from the Civil War and bullet holes in some of the trees. A lot of history around Atlanta, and Georgia in general. I think L5P is my favorite. Loving the videos!
Big up Qua, I really hope he goes far cause you can tell the guy has positive chilled personality and telling how things really are. Also very knowledgeable, and thanks for the all the tips and the great tour, ATL is one of the best cities out there
I'm moving to Atlanta sometime this fall because I got accepted into the Georgia Film Academy. Atlanta is such a hotspot for making movies and tv shows now! I'm excited and I'm glad you enjoyed your visit there!
The old original Sears and Robuck building which was the huge retail store later shortened to sears. They had a huge catalog and shipped from this headquarters building. This is now the Ponce City Marketplace!
Once again I'm here repping MY city all the way from the DMV!! I have to tell you Peter, you have completely TUGGED on my heartstrings with the Atlanta series!! I just love it...💝💝💝💝
I think the woman in the collab boutique was a weak point in the video. I like Qua and I like the rapport between Qua and Peter. But I disagreed with a lot of what she was saying, particularly the stuff about crime.
@@benjaminsmith2287 I actually agree. Just felt that her conversational style was great. She'd be an interesting person to dialogue with. Her business model for the boutique is great too. But agree, her views were off on the reasons for crime, etc.
@@benjaminsmith2287 I didn't fully agree with everything she said. But I do think she was trying to give a wider perspective on the "how and why" of the city. She even admitted that crime was bad.
OMG...the Island Takeaway looked delicious! That maybe worth a trip! I have always loved Atlanta and you had a GREAT tour guide; genuine and authentic guy.
Man Im sure you wont see this but honestly.. this is eye opening. Me from lilttle ol Australia, find all your series absolutely eye opening. My dream is to travel the states and even though I cant right now you embrace and embody everything I wish to do and see. From the hood to the Burbs etc. Just please dont change your style, your format everything you do.. just keeping doing it. Much love brother to you and your wife 🇺🇸🇦🇺
I’d encourage you to do a quick read on Ponce City Market and it’s history. Was a sears warehouse next to a ford factory, then the hood crashed into the early oughts, and now a slow climb back. Lots of cycles going on.
I was really thankful for this episode. I live outside of Atlanta and I would love a list of everywhere you went cuz I've got to check it out! I have mad respect for the woman at Pink Zebra and all that she said. Great episode! Thank you. :)
From what I have seen in Atlanta, people are stealing to floss. They are not stealing to put food on the table. They are stealing to afford a luxury lifestyle that they can’t normally afford.
Atl is a ghetto. Like most cities, wealthy white people live “outside the perimeter”. Inside the perimeter, is ghetto. Thugs working the system and hustling. Atl is blatantly racist - whites are not welcome.
Fucking bums man they don’t have ogs who keep them in check and shit they wild out their on some broke bum no real role models shit it’s sad asffff bro america is on the decline
Im so glad you did another Atlanta episode showcasing the city that I live in and love! most people don't understand how beautiful the city of Atlanta is until their feet is on the ground here because they've never visited our neighborhoods with independently owned businesses and entrepreneurs. Crime is a bit of a problem but I think your mindset and surrounding yourself with likeminded people can keep you around good energy.
Thanks so much I was born and raised Downtown Atlanta in Little Five Points.Im one of the few and Qua did a great job showing you around.Pink Zebra is the bomb I've always loved her she treats everyone as a special person.Shes always so nice.My daughters and I shopped there since she opened.He wasn't lying about the Cleremont Lounge either it's literally one of the best night clubs in town .Karaoke on Tuesdays and Thursdays Live music.Closest to a New York disco you'll ever get in the south.i live in St.Pete now on Treasure Island so this was an awesome watch with coffee this morning.Thanks for showing My home in a positive light Peter and Qua
The BLM signs thing is true. I live in the hood and never see a single black home put those signs up. When I drove 20 minutes out to the suburbs they are all over.
Besides the City of Atlanta the Suburbs are huge in ATL, All the way up North Metro to East, West & South Metro ATL. Kennesaw, Roswell, Alpharetta, Marietta, Acworth, Smyrna, Sandy Springs, Norcross, Duluth, Liburn, Tucker, Stone Mountain, Decatur, Lithonia, Ellenwood, Doraville etc.. I lived in ATL from 2004-2007 and most of my family lives all around ATL, it is a wonderful city but it fell all the way off now. Not the same as it used to be in the 90's and early 2000's.
This might be silly, but sometimes I look up the map/photos for the mentioned areas in videos. It's the only chance to see these localities. So, thanks.
@Kathy no it's crazy now. I lived right by the winn dixie around 1982 and went to Kingsley elementary school. I drive by there every once in a while. It is definitely different. They tore my old house down.
@@joshm9163 I know what Ben is saying. They did a lot of gentrification throughout Atlanta so a lot of spots that were bad were rebuilt and Atlanta added a lot of new things like the Beltline and Ponce Market. A lot of new construction brought in higher end homes and tore down a lot of the historic areas. With all that being said there isn't to many Atlanta natives in Atlanta. A lot of big business has moved in as well as the film industry so the people are different now. Most of this was before Covid. I live 50 miles north of Atlanta now and I haven't been through there since Covid except on the interstate. It's a great city and I love what Atlanta has become but it's nothing like what it was in the late 90s and early 2000.
Love the video. Definitely agreed and enjoyed the end when he was talking about the dad's. Ima a young dad and noticed more dads in their kids life, than when I was growing and good to know as men we decided that shit wasn't going to be generational
Amen ... and good for you. My thought was a lot of young men have the same mindset you do and that is why they are not playing that bs game no more. Not everybody. But a lot have stepped up. Good job.
So cool to see you do a video of an area where I worked for a long time..I grew up in metro Atlanta..A lot has changed in the Atlant area and metro Atlanta area sense the late 90s...but this was very cool to see.
Moved from ATL & GA after 15 years, great place to live, its getting better & there's a lot of hope, but also easy to get burned out, its becoming unaffordable unless you are bringing in good money, its becoming more toxic it feels like at times everyone is trying to become better than the other with the new money coming in.
The area at the beginning of the video is Bonfire ATL, theres a new indoor skatepark/community center right next to it called the "village skatepark". Its a really cool project.
My first time in Atlanta was 2014 when I worked for FedEx and I was sent there for training and I can say the city is beautiful and the people there are friendly but it has a darkside just like any other city but it's a Hustling city.
You need to come to the suburbs right outside Atlanta (but still technically part of Atlanta). Dunwoody, Roswell, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Duluth. It's more expensive but thats where a lot of people live as well, and you won't get the full picture without visiting there as well 👍
The crime rate in Atlanta really spiked during Covid-19. Atlanta was always known for extremely reasonable housing for a big city, but housing prices have skyrocketed even more than elsewhere because of investors buying up housing stock.
What she was talking about at 18:00, this just makes me think the world nowadays is about social media and telling people how cool your life is. That's why people are striving for that nowadays.
Or people just want to break away from the montomy of suburban life? Everything isn't about popularity just because different people want to live different syles of lfe.
My grandmother lived 10 minutes from downtown ATL. I grew up an hour and a half south of there. I spent many summers in ATL! Stone Mountain and Sunday afternoon Braves games when tickets $10.Qua is so right! The whole state of Ga loves our Coca Cola! Peter you will have to eat at The Varsity next time you are in town!
Found you through your interview with Mark from Soft White Underbelly. When he said you were the only UA-cam channel he watches I came directly here and subscribed.

Why dont you interviewed white people too ? zero diversity on this video.

Qua is hands down one of the most level headed, knowledgeable and impressive guests you’ve interviewed. Wow! 👍👍
i was like finally
Very together brother, great personality, amazing artist, wish him all the best!
Yep. Awesome dude. You can tell. We need more of him
And artistic also
Qua is a cool guy- the way he expresses himself shows that he’s true to himself and the people he interacts with.
Qua is such a good dude! He embodies the Atlanta hospitality that i experienced a couple years ago
Qua has an amazing personality! He would be a great tour host.
First, it would help if he learns the correct year Atlanta had the Olympics…lol

That dude Qua who you interviewed is conscious more than most others. It's really cool to hear people like him speak the truth. Awesome channel!
Qua has a cool vibe, exudes positivity. Hope you go far brother.
Love that hes an animator and illustrator! Really shows you artists are all over nowadays, great Video Peter! ✊🔥

Yes there are restaurants for years in Atlanta. Come eat and let him live through you.
It is nice you found a very articulate person with "boot on the ground" knowledge. You always seem to find the gems in a place.

The architecture is so interesting. Lovely homes and landscaping. Very green. Lots of art for public viewing.
Atlanta has a positive spiritual vibe and that’s why I love it.
Lmfaoooo. No.
Exactly! I don’t know why people say it’s a dangerous city. But they say new York is safe?🤣

The BLM signs thing is true. I live in the hood and never see a single black home put those signs up. When I drove 20 minutes out to the suburbs they are all over.
White liberals are so fake
It makes sense too cause Atlanta is black; it's the rest of GA that needs the reminder.
It’s pretty much common all over the country.
It's a white leftist virtue signaling BS.
Hello. Great person, Quay, again to see the city from his point of view. Dude, you are always eating. I'm envious!!! Be safe.

It's a great city and I love what Atlanta has become but it's nothing like what it was in the late 90s and early 2000.
Love the video. Definitely agreed and enjoyed the end when he was talking about the dad's. Ima a young dad and noticed more dads in their kids life, than when I was growing and good to know as men we decided that shit wasn't going to be generational
Amen ... and good for you. My thought was a lot of young men have the same mindset you do and that is why they are not playing that bs game no more. Not everybody. But a lot have stepped up. Good job.
This reminds me of traveling. Love walking around talking to the locals.
Atlanta seems to have such a positive vibe
Great video Peter. I lived in Atlanta for 3 years. Its a very cool city.
Awesome! Thanks, man, I appreciate it.
Such a well spoken representative for Atlanta
So cool to see you do a video of an area where I worked for a long time..I grew up in metro Atlanta..A lot has changed in the Atlant area and metro Atlanta area sense the late 90s...but this was very cool to see.
Moved from ATL & GA after 15 years, great place to live, its getting better & there's a lot of hope, but also easy to get burned out, its becoming unaffordable unless you are bringing in good money, its becoming more toxic it feels like at times everyone is trying to become better than the other with the new money coming in.
It's called the heart of a man will never be satisfied
It's a crying shame for sure.
The area at the beginning of the video is Bonfire ATL, theres a new indoor skatepark/community center right next to it called the "village skatepark". Its a really cool project.
What a great guide…I love this guy.
QUA would be a great leader. Knows his city and is positive.
He didn’t even know what year Atlanta had the Olympics
Super awesome video! I think a lot was covered in a short span. Great job Qua!
Just one thing to correct the Atlanta Olympics were '96 not '86.
You should do Houston , it’ll be interesting for you to visit . The city has changed significantly over the past 10 years
My first time in Atlanta was 2014 when I worked for FedEx and I was sent there for training and I can say the city is beautiful and the people there are friendly but it has a darkside just like any other city but it's a Hustling city.
You need to come to the suburbs right outside Atlanta (but still technically part of Atlanta). Dunwoody, Roswell, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Duluth. It's more expensive but thats where a lot of people live as well, and you won't get the full picture without visiting there as well 👍
not technically part of atlanta at all
@@dontgetit23 It's part of the "Atlanta metropolitan area", look it up.
Stole my words gotta get OTP.

Much love and respect to peter for this video and also qua very talented artist! Thank you and continue to make video for us subscribers !
The Beltline was empty this day. Weekend is super busy. I love seeing all they types of different dogs. People are very active there.
That's a very proud city! I love that!
This was awesome...I live in the area but really enjoyed Kuhway's tour of the city. Gotta try that carribean food truck. Great job Kuhway!
I love ❤️ Qua’s vibe.
Thanks QUA, was an awesome tour. As an artist on the other side of the world, it was great to see the creatives of Atlanta.
Thank you Qua and Peter.
Peter, if you didn't actually go to the Clairmont Lounge while in ATL then you didn't experience ATL. lol
We used to hang at the old Clermont when the lounge had live bands!❤
The crime rate in Atlanta really spiked during Covid-19. Atlanta was always known for extremely reasonable housing for a big city, but housing prices have skyrocketed even more than elsewhere because of investors buying up housing stock.
Loving the videos Peter!!
What she was talking about at 18:00, this just makes me think the world nowadays is about social media and telling people how cool your life is. That's why people are striving for that nowadays.
I am glad you said she. QUA is a woman.
That’s why people of her generation with that mindset are never going to get anywhere in life.
@@BasedinReality1984 yeah. It's an evil mindset.
Or people just want to break away from the montomy of suburban life? Everything isn't about popularity just because different people want to live different syles of lfe.
My grandmother lived 10 minutes from downtown ATL. I grew up an hour and a half south of there. I spent many summers in ATL! Stone Mountain and Sunday afternoon Braves games when tickets $10.Qua is so right! The whole state of Ga loves our Coca Cola! Peter you will have to eat at The Varsity next time you are in town!
So much talent in the ATL! Love the videos! Shout out to Goodie Mob, OutKast and the many artists that continue to give back to the city!
Don't forget Killa Mike!!
@@chris_martin Yep! Shout out to Killer Mike!
Always enjoy peters travels
I looved this episode
Found you through your interview with Mark from Soft White Underbelly. When he said you were the only UA-cam channel he watches I came directly here and subscribed.
As someone who has been living in Atlanta all their life, you managed to best parts of the city. Qua was one hell of a tour guide and I love his work.
Inspiring, beautiful people, this is what it should be!!!
