Video of Atlanta in the 90s (Newcomer Video - Atlanta 1992) 

I got here 30 years too late. Now it’s just an overcrowded corporate cesspool. Same as every other sprawling city in the sunbelt😢

Back in 1992, Atlanta was ATLANTA!!!! The city was on fire!!!!!

This is when Atlanta was actually cool.

I partially grew up in Atlanta 5-10 years after this - cool to see the puppetry center, Six Flags American Adventure, Lake Lanier, and of course downtown.

Missing from this video was the Six Flags Over Georgia amusement park. Since this video was created, Georgia Aquarium was built and opened in 2005. Old Altanta Fulton County Stadium and Omni Coliseum and Georgia Dome are no more, and were replaced with Turner Field (originally 1996 Olympic Stadium, but don't know if it still retains the Turner Field name since Georgia State acquired it after Braves left), State Farm Arena (formerly Philips Arena), and Mercedes-Benz Stadium, respectively, plus the addition of Truist Park (formerly SunTrust Park). We also got the Atlanta United soccer team, and the Knights and Trashers hockey teams are gone. Stone Mountain, Fox Theater, Atlanta Botanical Gardens, Fernbank, and Zoo Atlanta, and other attractions are still around too.

The music, the graphics, I'm having so much nostalgia. iN 1992 I was just starting 1st grade in South ATL.

I was here. What a time to be alive! ❤❤❤

3:15 Man it is so good to see a video in an era where auto racing (NASCAR, NHRA, and IndyCar) actually got respected even among those who didn't follow it that much.

That's Mariette Hartley, who did those Polaroid commercials with James Garner in the late '70s and early '80s.

This is so interesting! Does anyone remember a "Welcome to Atlanta" VHS like this one that was made (or marketed) by WSB-TV in the 1990s? I remember a copy lying around the house when I was a kid but it likely got tossed out when my mom and stepdad moved.

The 1996 Olympics hurt a lot of people to the benefit of many rich people. Business in general slowed and waned in anticipation of the Games to where real estate and other sectors were wary of making any moves, worried about what the Games would do, how they would change the city after the games, paused to take whatever advantages might materialize or avoid any pitfalls. Small businesses were shut down without compensation during the weeks of the Games. Bill Campbell eventually went to prison for tax evasion.

I have this video on vhs.

How far we have fallen.

Thanks for sharing our best of Atlanta

I think it's time for a return of Service Merchandise, only done right and updated, a store you go to with one or two samples of everything they sell on the shelves that you order on a list you make on paper (now on your smart phone) and pick up on your way out or later. It's brought from the back warehouse right up front (right away, not delayed as before), You pay and go, no hiking all through a megastore as big as a small town. No ordering and waiting for delivery with shipping charges added to your cost. I think there is a niche for this.

This video 📹 makes me miss this simple, sporty but relaxed era in time. 🥲 I may have been born in 96, but i can see the simplicity and fun nature of 1992 somewhat. I came to Atlanta in 2004 with my mom, it's not the same as back then 😢 But I'm grateful to at least see Atlanta closer to 2000 and when this video was made.

Omg … service merchandise ❤❤❤

That's so cool

This is so cool man! Can you put chapter markers on this video?

service merchandise has been long gone... and there is no more Georgia dome! and don't try to play down MOREHOUSE COLLEGE!!

Can anyone help me find the instrumental music used in this video?

The music and audio period is so 90’s lol

Club Catamaran - Network Music from the Weather Channel Music Playlist March through July/August 1995.

Best part of this video is the comments below. Atlanta was fantastic during this era.

Mr T . Looks nice in this.

Trust Company Bank? So glad we have today Vanguard, Fidelity, Schwab, etc.

4:46 I wish that was still true for Tech

none of the pro stadiums exist anymore

Is Mariette Hartley the host of this video 🤔

I guess 404 770 and 678 area code were not create yet.

marta is the way to go lmfao

Then they came!

I blame yall for yall this traffic

Its a toilet now...unflushed.

Atlanta University Complex? Too afraid of the backlash if they said "Black colleges"? Just a reminder of how long it has taken to accept Black folks as legitimate citizens. They didn't want to tarnish the promotion of Atlanta with such a negative mention of race. The least They could have said is Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Why not simply include them all with all the other colleges and universities? Just had to keep them separate.

Atlanta has no identity. Well, at least it's not Charlotte.

The end of decent Atlanta, the Olympics then the Tyler gay blk Perry takeover destroyed the Atlanta of my birth.

Sad to say but i see fewer blacks.😢
