Sweet Home Atlanta |

I call Atlanta my home so I guess I know a bit about it. A lot of travelers come here for the MLK historical sites. Along Auburn Ave are some of these places. The Royal Peacock has live music and can be found also on Auburn Ave. The Coke Cola museum, High Museum of Art, Margaret Mitchell's home, Underground Atlanta, Atlanta Zoo and Piedmont Park are some places to visit. For nightlife: Live Bands try The Earl in E Atl, Echo Lounge-E Atl, Star Bar-Little5 Pts. Eating: The Earl, RuSans sushi, Little Bangkok, Penang on Buford Hwy, Sunset (Soul food on Glenwood Ave), Waffle House Majestic on Ponce de Leon Blvd is open 24 hours. Yes, the Marta train goes from the airport to the general downtown area of Atlanta. Cheaper than a cab!

A few hours north of Atlanta lie beautiful mountains and towns. Lots of outdoor type activities to be found. About 30 minutes outside of Atl is Six Flags Over GA. Amusement park with lots of coasters.
