A slight brightening of mood in Atlanta

The ULI meetings were in Atlanta last week. This is entirely impressionistic, but it seemed that people were in a far better mood than they were at the Miami meeting last fall. People seemed very down at that meeting--they were much more upbeat in Atlanta, reporting that they were actually doing some deals. Perhaps another green shoot...

I like Atlanta (particularly Mid-town and the Arts area) quite a lot. I know of no city with more trees than Atlanta, and in the spring, it is very lovely.
