Atlanta - Atlanta is a lively , thriving city, the
capital of Georgia, and a center of commerce and the arts.
Many fortune 500 companies have corporate or regional headquarters
in Atlanta, and young professionals are moving there in ever
increasing numbers.
Many visitors come to Atlanta looking for the Old South stereotypes:
white columned mansions surrounded by magnolias and owned
by languidly moving, elegantly dressed ladies wearing white
gloves and hoop skirts, and speaking in a southern drawl..
What they find is much more cosmopolitan and a lot more interesting,
though it is still possible to relax with a glass of lemonade
under a peach tree. Atlanta has spent the last 135 years building
what has been described as the Capital of the New South and
the Next Great International City.
There are a wide selection of offerings in the visual arts
too. Besides the architecturally renowned High Museum of Art,
Emory University's Michael C. Carlos Museum and The High Museum
of Art Folk Art and Photography Galleries, the city has many
private and public galleries that sponsor a variety of artists
and styles. Traditional, primitive and modern painting, sculpture,
studio crafts, drawing, and photography are part of the wealth
of artistic offerings on view at any given time.
The Stone Mountain nightly laser show and the park's many
recreational opportunities keep millions of visitors coming
back. Nightlife is hopping at Buckhead where young sophisticates
gather for dancing to great music until 4:00AM. Families keep
a lively pace visiting the bounty of fun -filled and educational
offerings from the Atlanta zoo to Cyclorama and SciTrek. There
is no limit that can be placed on the possibilities of an
Atlanta vacation!
