Visit Buckhead in northern... by traveltom
Visit Buckhead in northern Atlanta on a weekend when it's warm. It's so crowded in some areas that when I walked out of a back door of a bar I still thought I was inside the bar because I was squeezing through people to move around.I love driving. Each road feels like it has its own unique style and attitude. When I'm in Atlanta, I love just driving from one end of the city to the other on Peachtree Street. You can see many styles of architecture, different socio-economic parts of cities, it goes straight through Buckhead, straight through the heart of Midtown, where the old 'peachtree' scene used to be, and through downtown. Watch your back when walking through the city downtown. A couple must see places: The Underground (a mall, underground), Turner Field, Coca-Cola Factory, The Varsity (North Street next to Ga.Tech), Stone Mountain, and Dante's Down the Hatch (fondue restaurant in Buckhead that has an indoor pond with a broken down ship, turtles, alligators, and fish. Also live jazz 24-7.)
