Atlanta is Named as a Top Destination for Movers

Looks like Atlanta has held on to the top spot as a destination city for the second year in a row! I've always considered Atlanta the place for young professionals because of jobs, weather, activities and transportation. Additionally, when I think of moving by U-Haul, I think of my early years when I first finished college. I moved into my very first home, a condominium that accrued nicely in value, with a U-haul and four male friends that I lured into helping me with free pizza and beer. That being said, it makes since that the U-Haul group agrees with me that Atlanta is the number one destination city! See the original blurb below:

U-Haul International, Inc., America's number one choice for do-it-yourself movers, today released the results of the annual 2008 U-Haul National Migration Trend Report, titled "The 2008 Top 50 U.S. Destination Cities." According to moving data reflective of nationwide statistics for calendar year 2008, Atlanta takes the No. 1 spot for the second year in a row, while Houston takes second place, moving up from the No. 8 rank last year. Los Angeles climbed to No. 3 from No. 13 last year, while Las Vegas maintained at No. 4 for the second year in a row, and Denver, Colo. moved up to fifth place from the No. 9 rank last year. Portland, Ore.; Chicago, San Antonio, Austin, Texas and Orlando, Fla. rounded out the top 10.
