The well developed suburban quasi-downtowns such as Perimeter/ Cumberland/Avalon in Atlanta provide most of the characteristics of a big city downtown including housing, shopping and office amenities. The so-called traditional CBD of big cities and metro areas will remain, probably, at the center and that includes major museums, symphony orchestras and such. In addition some sports amenities will remain in the centers, but some, as we have experienced with the Braves will be comfortable in the burbs (the Hawks, the Falcons and United remain in the downtown Atlanta city area). Nonetheless, the Atlanta Ballet and Opera have moved to a new Hall in Cobb county near the new Braves complex.
