In a nutshell
Atlanta: Diverse, Modern, Artsy, Rich...and Poor
59 Reviews A really big rock of granite east of the city, Stone Mountain has good and bad past references.....They used to have KKK meetings at the top back in the bad old days, and lots of Civil War stuff happened around there, but it is a gorgeous hunk of rock for climbing, boating in the lake, fishing,...
51 Reviews I won a VIP tour through the Coke World via an auction locally, and got a great tour through the facility---my favorites were the old TV commercials, the free old-timey bottle, and the free tastes at the end---over 50 different Coke branded drinks with some strange flavors like "flower" (japanese),...
4 Reviews and 264 Opinions I've stayed here several times when business requires me to stay in Downtown Atlanta. (This Ritz is...
1 Review and 486 Opinions This is a great bargain in the fancy Buckhead area of town. It has nice, large rooms. Lots of...
13 Reviews The Vortex is a cool burger restaurant in Mid-Town Atlanta, there are 2 other locations as well. We frequented this place when I was working here for 2 months, and I was able to try most of the burgers on the menu (they are all good!) They have an awesome list of brews on tap or in bottle. Try...
19 Reviews OK, everyone has their favorite meal from the big V, but this is the real deal----- for meat eaters, get a chili steak, a slaw dog, order of rings, and an orange drink or an FO (frosted orange) Veggies can get rings, cole slaw and some ketchup. :>>> I live closer to the Kennesaw location...
34 Reviews Hey---you can check out The Sanctuary in Buckhead--should be close to Marta 3209 Paces Ferry Place very close to intersection with peachtree rd, roswell rd and W Paces Ferry down Roswell Rd a bit. www.sanctuarynightclub.com dustmon
13 Reviews If your looking for a place to hangout and enjoy music. The Underground Atlanta has place called Kenny's Alley that offers 7 nightclubs. Effective July 4, 2008, there will be a $2.00 entry fee into Kenny's Alley on Friday & Saturday nights beginning promptly at 9:00 pm. If you leave the Alley...
45 Reviews The MARTA subway is an ok way of getting about from the airport to Perimeter (that's if you're REALLY trying to save money). The orange lines (north - south routes) are good, and the cars are usually clean; however, the blue lines (east - west of 5 points) are nothing short of a trash pit (both in...
24 Reviews This is a car-type city (not like downtown San Francisco or New York). You need a car to get around. We rented a car at the airport -- all the major car rental companies are there, but the one I chose - Thrifty's was a pain-in-the-butt as their cars are not at the airport, but a few miles away...
17 Reviews Southlake Mall is south of the airport in Morrow. One of many malls through the Atlanta area, it services the southeastern portion of the city. Mall Hours Monday-Saturday: 10:00 am-9:00 pm Sunday: 12:00 pm-6:00 pm
10 Reviews There's a whole underground shopping center in Atlanta. I did shop some and bought something with an iris on it as a gift for my mom, but I was uncomfortable there as it didn't feel quite safe, and I was glad it was during the day. Some of the gift shops are: Gifts 2 Leather Kandlestix Papier...
18 Reviews A common concern expressed by several VT members and verified by my time walking around in certain areas needs to be addressed. There are some VERY bad neighborhoods in Atlanta. Do NOT walk alone, walk with expensive clothing or photography equipment, or any amount of money you would not be willing...
45 Reviews Okay, most of the people who have written things on here are giving you information that is terribly misleading, such as 'don't go south of interstate 20'. That is entirely moronic, as the worst neighbourhood in all of Atlanta, right west of the Georgia Dome, is north of 20. Overall, Atlanta is not...
16 Reviews Yea, we got honked at/almost crashed into somebody-from the SAME state[NC] as us! We went to stay in Atlanta for the Big South National Qualifier that was in the World Congress Center. But then again, you can go 80mph in a 65mph area, but there's wayy too much traffic. Atlanta¢¾
20 Reviews I have visited Underground many times and while it was alot better in the past I would not skip it on a visit to Atlanta. There are young hoodlums running around but they are nothing to worry about in my opinion. Keep to yourself and do what you want and noone will mess with you at all. The shops...
11 Reviews Lived in Georgia all my life, 15 years in Atlanta. There are far better activities elsewhere. You won't see anything local about Atlanta or the South at either Underground Atlanta or World of Coca-Cola unless by local you mean our homeless population. Neither qualify as anything resembling a...
4 Reviews During my trip this year, the temperature remained in the 70s, although this seemed a little warm than I would expect for Atlanta at this time of year. I would probably recommend bringing warmer clothes for November in case, as it could get much colder during this time.
North Georgia Mountains & Waterfalls
13 Reviews Springer Mountain is in the Chattahoochee National Forest, and it is the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. The peak is 3,280 feet and just 1/2 mile from a parking area along a national forest service road. At the peak is a bronze plaque and a register for hikers to sign when they...
14 Reviews Nothing like the market days in European cities, but a start can be seen on Saturdays in Morningside. It has just started this year and offers organically grown fruits and vegetables, flowers as well as some meats. They are open only on Saturday mornings 8:00-11:30 and you need to go early before...
52 Reviews If you are spending a few days in Atlanta and planning to check out many local attractions, then I recommend getting the CityPass (http://www.citypass.com/atlanta). In May2010, it cost $74 per adult ticket. It was worth it for us because we were able to use all except 1. :) I will remember Atlanta...
17 Reviews The owners of the Underground Atlanta is trying to revamp the security efforts. Instead of calling them security guards they call them Courtesy Conductors. I thought that was cute. Their station is a working display for educational use when they have guided tours of school children. 50 Upper...

Q: Most of my time in Downtown Atlanta has been in/out travel for business or convention time when I'm all consumed with convention...
A: No, most of the shopping has moved out of Downtown, unfortunately. It's a fairly easy MARTA trip up to Buckhead or to Lenox Square though.
