What's up with Atlanta? Atlanta has been one of the top four U.S. metro area's in terms of economic growth for 20 years. But there have been some hiccups recently. Delta filed for bancruptcy. Ford and GM are closing major assembly plants. Georgia Pacific, Scientific Atlanta and Bellsouth have been acquired by out of state companies. And now the the tallest tower in the South is proposed to be built in Nashville.
Since 1992, Atlanta's Bank of America Tower has been the tallest Southern skyscraper. Measuring 1023 feet, it is even the tallest U.S. tower outside New York and Chicago, the sixth highest in the nation. The 1047 feet high Signature Tower, if built, will knock down Atlanta a peg. That thought is hard to bear for Atlanta's boosters.
