[edit] Schools
How can you talk about Buckhead schools and not mention the really good private schools that are a large part of the strength of the community. The Westminster Schools, the Lovett School, and Pace Academy are where most of the children from this area go to school. Not bad for a party area either though earlier closing times are changing that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 167.234.12.79 (talk • contribs) .

Not in Buckhead Not true - You are not in Vinings until you cross the River.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.32.212.124 (talk • contribs) .
[edit] Buckhead
All I am sure is that Buckhead is basically the upper class neighbourhood of Atlanta (also known as "Beverly Hills of the South"). However, you must not exclude the fact that Inman Park and Midtown are neighbourhoods turning around into a creative, upper class neighborhood too. And may someone please add a picture of the ever expanding Buckhead Skyline.
[edit] Stereotypes
It is a common stereotype that citizens of the Buckhead and Morningside Communities tend to be snobby, rich, and egocentric people. I myself go to Grady High School in Midtown Atlanta, where you can see a big diference between the people of Morningside/Buckhead communities, and those of Candler Park, Inman Park, Midtown, and Grant Park neighbourhoods.
[edit] Racial Comment/Bias -- Removed
I edited the following
Original was: During the late 1990s Buckhead saw a fair share of problems due to an increased crime rate around the area's nightclubs and shopping districts which was increasingly frequented by black patrons.
Currently is: During the late 1990s Buckhead saw a fair share of problems due to an increased crime rate around the area's nightclubs and shopping districts.
1) Crime increase in Buckhead was on par related to area. On a per capita basis Atlanta was in the top third for violent crimes against person (including muggings and such). Please see http://www.fbi.gov/filelink.html?file=/ucr/Cius_97/97crime/97crime3.pdf for more information.
2) The " . . . black patrons" could be considered an inflamatory reference. To me, the inference or parallel that was being drawn (influx of african americans raised crime rate) had no basis in fact. I deleted it.

[edit] w hotel
it says "patrons have stayed at the w hotel..."
i didnt know there was a w hotel in buckhead. i know they are developing one in lenox, and there is one in sandy springs, but wasnt aware of one in buckhead. am i wrong, or is the article? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.27.162.90 (talk • contribs). 14:52, January 16, 2007
- While the Lenox area is part of Buckhead, the new W Hotel is still under construction, so the article is wrong when it states people have stayed there. I have corrected. (BTW, the one existing W Hotel is in Dunwoody, not Sandy Springs). -- Satori Son 16:27, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
