I live in Atlanta.
Check out:
Georgia Aquarium
Martin Luther King Memorial and Museum
The High Museum
Stone Mountain Park
Centennial Olympic Park
Coca Cola Museum

For Fun:
The Buckhead area shops, restaurants, bars
The Virginia Highlands area shops, restaurants, bars
The Midtown area shops, restaurants, bars
Churchill Grounds (for good jazz)
Blind Willies (for good blues)
Atlantic Station

Have fun! biggrin

No fun anymore (at least until they clean it up):
Underground Atlanta

Watch out for the neighborhood where my fellow New Orleans displaced people are cause i am hearing they are tearing the city up along with Houston and San Antonio! I think city overrated in my opinion. MLK grave, cnn center, coke plant, undergound mall, six flags if open, airport, well Delta might be out of service, watch airtran airlines!!!

Yeah, I forgot about CNN Center...fascinating. And it is adjacent to Centennial Park....if you are out on Powers Ferry, you will need to take a taxi. I do not believe the train (MARTA) even goes out there.....

When I was there in December visiting my sister,she mentioned that there is a massive aquarium but we didn't get to go to it.I guess you have to plan it in advance? Must be a very popular attraction.

Imo,Atlanta has some of the finest restaurants to eat at lol

I go to Miami in 3 weeks! woot!

It's time to start doing traveling. Miami in April, NYC in May, Atlanta in June and I'm hoping San Fran in July. Keeping my fingers crossed for that one!
