Atlanta- Nationally Houston-Internationally. Atlanta has a better national scene which is why they are attracting more transplants domestically than Houston. Besides Chicago, Atlanta is centrally located and very convienient to large cities in the Northeast and Midwest. It also is a hub for an entire Southern region attracting domestic business.

I'll bite, I think Atlanta is more well known nationally because our schools are higher profile (GTECH-ACC) and alot of people drink the native drink (What? Exactly, you know).
