Great info. I meant to PM you actually, but you beat me to the punch. Thanks!
We have a four year-old son, so schools have been an emphasis for us, but it has been difficult to get a rental in our target district -- City of Decatur -- which we hear is the best overall. Since we couldn't get that, we ended up renting a place for next year in Druid Hills, about three blocks from Emory where we are both working. Since my son won't be in kindergarten until the following year, we're not too worried just yet, but just in case we want to stay put for the next year, he'll be at Fernbank Elementary, which we've heard is not the best, but decent enough.
Looking forward to the move. It seems like a great city.

I second fat Matt's for ribs.
I lived in Atlanta for over 20 years.
Only problem is Canada stole our hockey team, again.

Disagree about Underground Atlanta. I am not a big shopper, but I actually love some of the little shops down there. They're different, unique and are a cultural experience. It's a bit of a diversion from the GAP culture we have today. It's kind of the same reason I liked going over to Little Five Points. I suppose it's all about whether someone enjoys those types of places or not as to whether there's reason to go there.
The park is about two miles from Turner field. But the parking on the south side of the park is only about a mile's walk. I acknowledge that's still a bit of a hike and not everyone wants to walk a mile to get to a baseball game, but it's worth it for some people to avoid sitting in a parked car for 20 minutes at 10 PM lol. Most of the time, I either parked up there, by the BMV or in the northernmost Silver Lot section over off Fulton. The point, though, as you mentioned, typically parking west of 75 provides better access getting out after the game. For that matter, I'd recommend parking anywhere north of I-20 if you don't want to fight traffic.

It's not a dry heat.

Missed the Reds this time around, unfortunately... but I'm now officially an Atlanta-ian (or something like that). Curious whether any of you many Atlanta Reds fans ever get together to watch games.
Just not with you
Okay, forget the whole watching Reds games thing.
We've recently discovered Your DeKalb Farmers Market. Seems like a great place. Anyone have thoughts on it? Other places to get good food for cheap?
