What is there to do in Atlanta?

Kevy Baby · 04-16-2005, 09:26 AM

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.

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:

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.
