What is there to do in Atlanta?
 

It looks like I am going to Atlanta, GA for a meeting on Monday the 25th. I figured I would go out on Saturday to take a look around.

Anybody know anything about the town? Any "must see" sites, "must do" experiences, or "must eat at" restaurants?

You can always visit the site of the olympic bombing.

You can see if you can get a Pepsi?

I think what EuroMonkey is trying to say is....

try and see if you can get a Pepsi here ;)

Also you can go to the CNN Experience .

Haven't been there since I was 10 but I did see online that they are having some kind of a festival that weekend.

You can go to www.atlanta.net and get some info on restaurants and events.

Check out Centennial Olympic Park. You can park your car and take a nice walk around the area.

The Buckhead District is very nice; a lot of restaurants, bars and nightlife. The area of Buckhead itself is very upscale. If you like to drive around and look at homes, there are some gorgeous estates to drool over here.

Stone Moutain Park is 16 miles east of downtown Atlanta:

The Varsity - It's a well known dining establishment (casual fast food):

Make sure you pack you white sheets and giant wooden cross... ;)

You could check out Turner Field, there are some home games that weekend. Although going alone would suck, I guess.

He would be at a braves game so that would be a foregone conclusion.

Yeah, they're playing the Phillies that day. Yawn.

BTW: interesting to note that the NATIONALS (fka Montreal Expos) are leading the National League East by a game and a half.

It's definitly Nat's fever around here. I was at the home opener and Saturdays game both of which were wins for the nats.

The vendors were a complete mess, lines at least two innings long, out of just about everything, etc... I expect that will get better over time but as long as the team keeps winning I can just pack some KFC and do just fine.

Which is much better than gnat fever.

Hot guys with their sexy southern accents.

Oh wait..

You said what is there to do..

Umm...

Look at the pretty trees and flowers. Enjoy their version of traffic.

Where's Atlanta?

JK!!

So far the only thing that has really grabbed my attention is the Coke Museum. Probably just some random exploration.

And you were mocking me about Cleveland?:p

Maybe this should be in the confession thread...I like Cleveland! :p

Touché

Maybe you should try to catch a movie.
