If we're getting technical here, I would define North Atlanta as the area formed between I85, I75, and I285..

When I was of FRC age, I would have agreed with you. But then I285 wasn't a circle, 400 & 985 didn't exist and I-75 had its temporary end in Cobb county, making both Gainesville & Dalton a considerably longer drive.
For a lot of the North Atlanta teams, Gainesville is about as close as a rush hour commute to central Atlanta. But now Gainesville is just outside of what passes for the Metro area.
I am not really arguing Kristen's point that it would be nice to locate at least one District in the epicenter of teams. And yes if you are an ITP (inside the perimeter) Gainesville is either a long commute or a travel district.
