:lcome!
As a youngster growing up in Young Harris at the foot of the great palachians, I was convinced there is no finer place to be than in the )rth Georgia Mountains. Little did I know, then, of Georgia's many other enic treasures, like the sunny coastal beaches and the pristine beauty of r lakes and rivers. Georgia even has its own "Little Grand Canyon" in : southwestern corner of the state.
As a former history professor, I especially like to remember Georgia's i and colorful history as one of the 13 original colonies and retrace the ps of visionary pioneers, including two American presidents, the invenof the Cherokee alphabet and the benefactor of the world's largest lege campus, all of whom claim Georgia roots.
Shirley and I maintain our family home in the mountains, but memories of great vacations stretch the entire length of the state. We proud that you are considering Georgia as a vacation destination. We ieve you will find, as we did, that each visit ends with a longing to urn.
With warm best wishes and best regards, I am
Sincerely,

Since its beginning in J 733, when General James Qglet/iorpe of England landed on its shores with a small band of settlers, Georgia has prospered, first agriculturally and then industrially. Today, that illustrious history of growth (Hid development is guided by the desire to preserve the qualities that make Georgia so special qualities that bring people to Georgia to play, to uwrlc and to live.
FACTS: Temperatures usually range from the 30s Fahrenheit (-1 Centigrade) in the winter to the 90s F (33 Centigrade) in the summer. Macon has 100,000 cherry trees. Georgia is home to 6.5 million people, and 2.8 million of them live in Metro Atlanta's 18-county area. The U.S. Census Bureau ranks Fayette and Gwinnett counties among the top 10 gs'est-growing counties in the nation.

"Boring" is a word that could never be applied to Georgia' s terrain and weather. The state, the largest east of the Mississippi, stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the foot of the Appalachian Mountains, with a variety of plant and animal life. Dogwoods, azaleas and magnolias, flowers that epitomize the South, turn Georgia into a garden each spring.
From palms to pines, nature has blessed the state with an abundance of trees. Centuries-old live oaks shade the coast, their cool greenery luxuriant throughout the year, their gnarled limbs garnished with Spanish moss.
In the fall, hardwoods maples, oaks, sweet gums and poplars -- paint the mountains in fiery color. Atlanta, known as "the city in a forest," even has enacted tree-replanting ordinances to protect its green heritage.
Mild winters and sunny summers make Georgia a gardener 's paradise. The American Camellia Society has its headquarters in Massee Lane Gardens in Fort Valley, open for tours and research. Thomasville, a gracious Southern town, hosts a rose festival every April, while both Atlanta and Jesup celebrate spring with dogwood festivals. Another harbinger of spring is the Cherry Blossom Festival in Macon, home to more cherry trees than Washington, D.C.

GEORGIA CITIES:
Although Atlanta's distinction as the site of the 1996 Summer Olympic Games has brought it international recognition, Georgia's other cities have their own claims to fame.

Atlanta, the legendary city that rose from the ashes of the Civil War' s destruction, has thrust its orifice buildings ever higher to claim the title of Capital of the New South.
Home of the 1996 Summer Olympic Games, Atlanta is no longer the sleepy Southern city that Margaret Mitchell immortalized in "Gone With the Wind." City boosters relish the joke that Atlanta, which covers more than 100 square miles, will be a fine city "once they finish building it."

One' s first view of Atlanta is a glimpse of a magical city hovering on the horizon, a stone-and-glass vision rising from the trees. As one draws closer, the landmark buildings sort themselves out: The cylindrical Westin Peachtree Plaza, the tallest hotel in the western hemisphere; 191 Peachtree, an office building whose roof line is a temple to commerce; NationsBank Plaza, the home of the fourth largest bank in the country; and One Atlantic Tower, the I.M. Pei-designed office tower whose jeweled roof dominates the skyline.
But Atlanta' s attraction is not all commercial. Atlanta is a big city with the charm of a small town, thanks to its friendly neighborhoods. Some, like Buckhead, Druid Hills and Cascade Heights, are home to the city' s wealthiest and most influential citizens.

Facts: The lonely wail of a freight train whistle is still heard in 500 Georgia communities. Georgia has a 5,200mile rail system in operation. One Amtrak passenger train a day pulls into Atlanta's Brookwood Station.
More than 45 million passengers a year pass through Hartsfield. Used by 24 airlines and 10 foreign carriers, the airport offers non-stop service to 140 cities, and schedules more than 1,100 departures daily to destinations throughout North and Central America, the Orient and Europe. Hartsfield is adjacent to both I-75 and I-85 and to one of Georgia's three free trade zones.
Thanks to its excellent roads, Georgia is fun to explore by car or RV. The Georgia Department of Industry, Trade & Tourism has mapped at least a dozen one- to eight-day tours of the state.
Perhaps the famous "Georgia On M) Mind" acts as a siren song tc business: Within the past decade more than 1,100 companies have moved to Georgia.
Metro Atlanta is headquarters for 1f Fortune 500 companies: Coca-Coll Home Depot, Georgia Pacific, Uniteo Parcel Service, Coca-Cola Enterprises Delta Air Lines, National Service Industries, Colonial Pipeline,Gold Kist Sun Trust Banks, Georgia Gulf, OF Southeastern-Genuine Parts, BellSouth, Turner Broadcasting Southern Company, First FinanciJ Management and Oglethorpe Power.
In the past five years, majoi corporations and organizations sue* as United Parcel Service, Holiday Inn, Evenflo, the American Cancel Society, Church's, Popeye's Frief Chicken and CARE have moved ther headquarters to Atlanta andtt Georgia.

GEORGIA CITIES:
Although Atlanta's distinction as the site of the 1996 Summer Olympic Games has brought it international recognition, Georgia's other cities have their own claims to fame.

Savannah, the oldest city in Georgia, also is the first planned city in the United States. Founder General James Oglethorpe himself designed a gracious city with a park on every other block.
The port city has carefully preserved its architectural heritage, and today Savannah's Historic District is the largest in the country, with 2.2 square miles of houses and buildings daring from the 1700s and 1800s. The district is not sterile house museums, but lively neighborhoods where Savannah citizens live and work.
FACTS: Georgia offers two deep-water ports, Savannah and Brunswick, which are also Foreign Trade Zones. More than 100 steamship lines serve Georgia ports on a regular basis. Savannah has 18 contai ner cranes and gantries, including nine of the world's fastest capable of lifting up to 275 tons.
Augusta, established on the Savannah River in 1736, recently revitalized its ante-bellum downtown by creating Riverwalk an area of parks, paths and an amphitheater along the river banks.
Main Street -- you' 11 find one in every town, but the tide, "Main Street City," can be applied to only 34 Georgia communities. Under this federal program, these cities have restored their downtowns to their original, historically correct appearances.
For example, Dalton is the "Carpet Capital of the World," with more than 238 manufacturers and 150 outlets. Athens, home of the University of Georgia, is a lively combination of college life and historic buildings.

FACTS: The carpet industry contributes $7 billion annually to Georgia's net product. The 143,000 square-foot Northwestern Georgia Convention and Trade Center cost $17 million and opened in Dalton in 1991.
The University of Georgia is part of the Georgia Research Consortium, which offers businesses the research and development services needed to stay abreast of technological innovation. Other participants are: Atlanta University Center, Emory University, Georgia State University, Georgia Tech, Mercer University, Southern College of Technology and the Medical College of Georgia. The University of Georgia emphasizes programs in super computers and biotechnology.
Thanks to General William T. Sherman, Madison today is an architectural museum, with examples of Victorian, Federal, Greek Revival and Georgian styles lining the streets. Sherman refrained from burning this town on his March to die Sea.
Thomasville, the "City of Roses," was "discovered" in the 1880s by wealthy Northerners looking for a winter haven. The Northerners built elegant "cottages".
Visitors may experience a sense of "deja" vu as they stroll through several other Main Street cities in Georgia. Covington is the site of the hit TV show, "In the Heat of the Night." Commerce is the setting for Georgia native Olive Anne Bums' highly successful novel, Cold Sassy Tree, also a made-for-TV movie.

TCM/, TOE SIIVEII HOI '

FACTS: Since 1973, more than 300

GEORGIA'S AFRICANAMERICAN HISTORY:

WHERE IS TARA?
Visitors to Georgia always clamor to see Tara, which existed only in author Margaret MitchelT s imagination. "Gone With the Wind", the most popular book in the world after the Bible, created a following that overwhelmed Miss Mitc/ieil.

Georgia' s history as a birthplace of the Civil Rights movement has been recognized by the world. More than 500,000 Americans a year make a pilgrimage to the Martin Luther King Center for Nonviolent Social Change, which carries on the civil rights work of Dr. King. King Week and Kingfest celebrate Dr. King' s legacy to blacks and whites alike.
African-American art and culture are on view at the Hammonds House in Atlanta' s West End neighborhood and at the new Auburn Avenue Research Library on African-American Culture and History. The Atlanta University Center is comprised of five famous colleges that have produced

many of the nation' s black leaders, including Dr. King.
In Savannah, African-American history is preserved via a tour and the King-Tisdell cottage. Savannah is also the site of the first African Baptist Church, dating from 1788. The Harriet Tubman Historical and Cultural Museum in Macon honors an escaped slave who risked her life to lead others to freedom.

GEORGIA AND THE ARTS:
Music Dance Drama Art

The mainstay of the city 's arts life is the Woodruff Arts Center, comprised of the High Museum of Art, the Atlanta-Symphony, the Alliance Theatre and Children sTheatre, and the Atlanta College of Art.
The High is in a modem Richard Meier-designed building, itself considered a work of art itself. Under the leadership of conductor Yoel Levi, the Atlanta Symphony is ranked among the nation' s top 10 symphonies. You can also enjoy the symphony in Rome, Savannah, Albany, Augusta and at the Macon Opera House.
Atlanta boasts hundreds of art galleries, from modern to primitive to AfricanAmerican art. Bennett Street has become known as "Gallery Row."
Becoming as known for jazz as Memphis is to the blues, Atlanta hosts two jazz festivals annually. The Montreux Atlanta International Music Festival and the Atlanta Jazz Festival, with free concerts in the parks, speak to the soul of the city.
The Atlanta Ballet, Rotaru International Ballet and other dance troupes mount full seasons of performances. Two festivals promote the visual arts: The annual Arts Festival of Atlanta and the National Black Arts Festival which occurs during even years.
The Michael C. Carlos Museum of Art and Archaeology, a jewel box of a museum on the Emory University campus, draws international attention with its unusual exhibits, such as treasures from Kuwait and perfumes of Cleopatra.

Traveling Broadway shows such as "Phantom of the Opera" and "Les Miserables" have Atlanta on their itineraries, at the Fox Theatre, a masterpiece of Moroccan architecture.
As visitors get to know Georgia, they' 11 find that the arts are an integral part of most Georgia communities. Marietta supports the critically acclaimed Theatre on the Square, and Madison has restored an old school building as a cultural arts center.
Augusta transformed a church built in 1901 into the Sacred Heart Cultural Center. The city' s arts gallery and school are housed in a mansion built in 1818.
The Georgia Museum of Art in Athens is adding space to display its hundreds of art works, and Summerville celebrates the work of its most famous citizen, the Rev. Howard Finster, a nationally acclaimed primitive artist, through the Finster Arts Festival.
Folks in Columbus have an elegant setting for all of their uptown events. The Springer Opera House, built in 1972, serves as the State Theatre of Georgia.

FACTS: According to an economic impact statement by the Atlanta

Chamber of Commerce, the arts

contributed $627 million to the city"

GEORGIA SPORTS
Whether you are an armchair quarterback or an active participant, "sports" is an action-packed word in Georgia.

The big news is the 1996 Olympics, the dream of Atlanta attorney Billy Payne. He and a band of volunteers reached the unattainable, beating out other countries for the 100th anniversary Games.
Although the bulk of the Games will take place in Atlanta, the equestrian events will be held at the new Georgia International Horse Park in Conyers, the yachting off the coast of Savannah.
FACTS: The 1996 games are estimated to pump $5.1 billion into Georgia's economy. More than 10,000 athletes from 200 countries will compete in 30 sports. The eight million tickets for the events will go on sale in 1995.
Scheduled to be built especially for the Games are a 85,000-seat Olympic Stadium, the Georgia International Horse Park, a 25,000-seat tennis facility at Stone Mountain Park and a 15,000-seat natatorium at Georgia Tech. Also in the works are an Olympic Village for athletes and various improvements to Atlanta.
For those who think a sport is not a sport unless it has a ball associated with it, Georgia is home to three pro teams: the championship Atlanta Braves baseball team, the Atlanta Falcons football team and the Atlanta Hawks basketball team.
New to Georgia' s sporting scene are the Atlanta Knights, the first pro hockey team to sign a woman player, Manon Rheaume.
The Falcons have a spectacular new home, the Georgia Dome, which will be the site of Olympics activities in 1996 and of Super Bowl XXVIII in 1994.

The Braves will have a new ball park after 1996, thanks to some construction sleight of hand. After the Games, one wall of the $120 million Olympic Stadium will be knocked down to transform the facility into a ball park with a view of Downtown Atlanta.
On the collegiate level, Georgia Tech and the University of Georgia have both fielded national championship teams in basketball, football teams, tennis, baseball and golf.
The Peach Bowl, held New Year' s Day, is expected to move to the Georgia Dome in 1992.
FACTS: The $210 million Georgia Dome, adjacent to the Georgia World Congress Center, seats 71,500 and is expected to generate more than $200 million annually
FACTS: The Peach Bowl generates $35 million in revenues for the hotel, restaurant and service industries.
Racing is big in Georgia, whether it' s cars, motorcycles, boats or horses. NASCAR star Bill Elliott may often be found at the Atlanta International Raceway in Hampton. A museum in Dawsonville honors this native son.
Road Atlanta, just outside of Gainesville, is a Georgia hangout for Paul Newman. The track also offers sports car owners a chance to live their racing fantasy in the annual Walter Mitty Challenge.
For those who prefer more sports action than merely filling a seat, Georgia offers everything from the old standbys, golf and tennis, to fishing, hunting and hang gliding.

FACTS: The Atlanta Steeplechase's five races attract top 'chase horses by offering $175,000 in prizes, the highest purse on the National Steeplechase Association circuit.

FACTS: The Atlanta Lawn Tennis Association (ALTA), an amateur organization, is the largest in the nation, with 66,000 players and 1,200 mixed doubles teams. There are thousands of backyard tennis courts in Atlanta.
The Atlanta Track Club, a volunteer organization, organizes the world' s largest 10K race, the grueling Peachtree Road Race. Held every July 4, the race attracts 45,000 runners, whose reward is the prestigious Peachtree Road Race T-shirt.
Every June, 2,300 or more cyclists pedal 400 miles from one end of Georgia to the other on the Bicycle Ride Across Georgia (BRAG) ride, which ends in Savannah.

Thanks to its moderate climate, Georgia has some of the best golf anywhere. The Masters, held every spring at the famed Augusta National may be the most prestigious tournament in the world.

Georgia has a long tradition

of hunting and fishing.

... All Around Atlanta

Atlanta has been a transportation hub, from the railroad to air travel to interstate highways.
The city has become a world-league business city, as the nation's and the world's largest corporations have established presences in metro Atlanta.
Atlanta is also on the world map for its historic and political role in the U.S. Civil Rights movement. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. moved from Atlanta onto the national stage as the major

actor in the drama of national growth that was the movement. He was surrounded and supported by a cast of players from Atlanta and the South who continue his work.
Atlanta is a mecca for many from around the nation who search for a moderate climate, economic opportunity, cultural life, recreational variety - in short, quality of life.
In addition to its truly modern reality, Atlanta is blessed with some romantic

imagery of past times, as a residual of its real history from the Civil War onward, and of its fictional history as portrayed in "Gone With The Wind." Margaret Mitchell's classic has become the most famous advertisement for the city and its environs, despite the fact that it is, indeed, fiction and that Tara didn't exist.
Chances are that Atlanta will be your first exposure to Georgia. Everyone should find things to please in Atlanta and the surrounding area. In attempting to summarize the wonders of the city, one of the easiest ways to consider Atlanta is by looking at the letters of its name-ATLANTA.
Atlanta can be All things to all people. It is a city where variety is the name of the game-indoors or outdoors, historic or modern, down home or elegant, sophisticated or simple. Atlanta is a proud city that welcomes visitors with
1 arms outstretched. So, come along as
we take a tour of the Georgia city that you'll be talking about for a long time to come.
"T" stands for Trees and one of the things that might impress a first-time visitor is the wealth of trees and greenery, at any time of the year. The trees are at their most vivid in the fall, when foliage viewing is a favorite pastime for many, either in the city itsel ' or short distances away in the north Georgia mountains.

offers offbeat shopping, popular restaurants, and nightlife such as The Point and the Variety Playhouse.
Virginia-Highland is a complementary neighborhood just a few blocks away, named for the intersection of its two main streets. The several block-long commercial heart of Virginia-Highland offers everything from the Plaza shopping center with its art deco facade (site of occasional movie locations) to several venerable wateringholes

Atlanta
(Manuel's for the politically minded, Atkins Park for hip people of any age, Moe's and Joe's for those who don't need to be chic) to an old-timey hardware store to one of the city's top blues clubs. The surrounding residential area architecture is more modest than Inman Park, but is not to be outdone when it comes to loyalty of its residents. Another of Atlanta's neighborhoods is just a stone's throw away, but it might be familiar to visitors who saw the movie

Another version of Atlanta's scenic splendor is evident in spring, as the dogwoods and azaleas burst into riotous, vivid pastel colors. One of the major seasonal celebrations is Atlanta's Dogwood Festival in April. Visitors will be enchanted by the abundance of private gardens that can be seen from the car or by walking through some of Atlanta's beautiful neighborhoods.
If you time your visit in the spring or fall, you are likely to run into a delightful Atlanta "tradition" - its neighborhood home tours. Shortly after your arrival in the city, you probably will be hearing about the likes of Buckhead, Virginia Highland, Inman Park, Druid Hills, Ansley Park, West End and other names that won't immediately mean anything to you. Yet some of your best travel experiences can come from visits to Atlanta neighborhoods.
Inman Park is the city's oldest suburb and was once home to Atlanta's best and brightest, including some of the families that are associated with the founding of Coca-Cola - the Candlers "MWoodruffc. After something of a *cline, Inman Park emerged again in ''70s and '80s as one of the strongest the in-town neighborhoods, with lawfully res'ored Victorian homes and one ot the best street fairs and tour of *"* that the city has to offer.

"Driving Miss Daisy." The Druid Hills neighborhood is featured on one of Atlanta's Historic Preservation Walking Tours. You'll stroll one of several Atlanta parks designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, see another Coca-Cola house (Atlanta has several) and see the home that was used in the filming of the instant classic, "Miss Daisy."

One of Atlanta's historic and handsome black neighborhoods is West End. Visit Hammonds House, the enchanting 19th century home of Dr. O.T. Hammonds, a true patron of the arts. You'll view his collection, as well as featured exhibits. Close by is Herndon Home, home of Alonzo Franklin Herndon, a former slave who became one of Atlanta's

pioneer entrepreneurs. Herndon opened a barber shop after the Civil War and later founded the Atlanta Life Insurance Company. His home offers a rare collection of antique furniture, Roman and Venetian glass, silver and other objet d'art. West End was also the home of Joel Chandler Harris, creator of Uncle Remus. His home, the Wren's Nest, which has been recently renovated, is open to the public and carries on his storytelling tradition. Last in this brief examination of some of Atlanta's hot neighborhoods is one that has moved beyond neighborhood status to that of an unofficial little city within the city. You will definitely hear about Buckhead and you'll want to visit it during its prime time, night time. Long a commercial focus of North Atlanta, Buckhead has burgeoned in the last few years to become one of the city centers of fine dining and entertainment. Within a few blocks radius are literally dozens of excellent restaurants to appeal to a variety of tastes and pocketbooks, plus music and comedy clubs. Returning to the subject of scenic splendor, consider a visit to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, located in one of Atlanta's most popular "green areas," Piedmont Park, in the heart of Midtown. While the Park itself provides enjoyable vistas and pleasant walks, the Botanical Garden is a focal point of flowery profusion. The new Fuqua Conservatory is the centerpiece of a collection of Japanese, rose, herb, native plant and perennial gardens.
If you like your scenery more on the wild side, make your way to the Chattahoochee River in Roswell, north of the city. The Chattahoochee River Recreation Area provides several major access points to the river, including Morgan Falls Dam, Johnson Ferry and Power's Ferry Landing. Visitors can swim, boat, raft, picnic and hike. Wildlife lovers can indulge with a visit to the Chattahoochee Nature Center, which offers an animal rehabilitation program, nature trails and scenic boardwalk along the banks of the river.
A bit further north in Buford, but still in the Atlanta Metro area, is Lake Lanier Islands, 1,200 acres of water-related recreation, including a wave pool, slides and Kiddie Lagoon. Campingi

boating, bicycling and horseback riding complete the scenario for this north Georgia fun spot.
Moving to the next letter of Atlanta's name, "L" stands for Landmarks, for our purposes, translated "history." Atlanta is a city that is known as much for its continual renewal as for its past, and the past for which it is most famous is the fictional one of "Gone With The Wind." Nevertheless, Atlanta offers much to those who seek other offerings of the past, particularly from the Civil War onward. Some history is commemorated in an informal way, by roadside markers. As you make your way around the city, you may find points of interest beckon ing you from beside the road. Don't be afraid to stop to "read the markers." Some areas, such as Peachtree Battle, abound in such instant history lessons. You'll be the richer for having stopped.
There's plenty of formally remembered history, as well. Continue your historical quest at the Atlanta History Center in the heart of Buckhead. The Center, soon-to-be expanded and improved, offers one of the finest Civil

Just north of Atlanta, step back in time in Roswell, Georgia. Visit Bulloch Hall, an Antebellum Greek Revival building that was the home of Theodore Roosevelt's mother. The Hall houses family documents and Civil War artifacts. Roswell also features 15 homes that survived the Civil War. The "settlement" dates back to 1838, when Roswell King led a group of families from the Georgia coast to settle in Roswell. The homes include some of the finest horse farms outside of Kentucky.

If you get downtown by rail and get off at Five Points, you'll be in prime position to visit Atlanta's biggest, attraction, the revitalized Underground Atlanta. Underground makes the most of the old railroad system of viaducts and multilevel streets, creating a mini-city within downtown. You'll enjoy the ambiance, the shopping, the dining, the night life. If you like riding trains, the New Georgia Railroad offers several opportunities, with its circle tour of Atlanta, as well as its dinner train to Stone Mountain. The trains leave on Saturdays from the Milepost Depot, adjacent to Underground.
Underground offers yet another bow to history at Heritage Row. The World of Coca-Cola Pavilion pays homage to the soft drink's place in pop culture. When you leave Underground, cross the street to visit the State Capitol, a gold-domed structure that presides as a landmark in downtown. The Capitol is home to the state legislators for three months of the year and offers glimpses of the state's political history at all times. It is also home to the State Museum of Science and Industry and the Hall of Flags.

Other government buildings close by include Atlanta's newly-refurbished City Hall, the new Fulton County complex and a few blocks away, the Federal Building.
Atlanta Botanical Gardens
When you're through with the government sector, you can make your way north by foot, back to Five Points. If you go West from here, you'll find the Atlanta Journal-Constitution building, offering a look at city history from a journalistic viewpoint. Next is the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, where, by appointment, you can learn all about money, technically speaking. A few

more blocks of walking will get you to CNN Center and the Omni and the Georgia Dome, home of the Atlanta Falcons. If you're a newshound, the CNN tour might be just the thing (it's first-come-first served). The Omni is one of Atlanta's sports and concert venues. More about it later.
From CNN Center, take a walk up International Boulevard, the home of Celebrity Walk (Atlanta's version of Grauman's Chinese Theater). You'll be headed up toward Peachtree Street, passing by Inforum, the technology ' center and the Apparel Mart, up to Peachtree Street and Peachtree Center.
If you're willing to get "artsy" (another "A" activity), make your way through Peachtree Center to the Marriott Marquis Two Office Tower where you'll find a little gem of a museum, the Atlanta International Museum (AIM). Although it's small, AIM offers beautiful exhibits in a variety of media - from silver works to Japanese Tsuzure-Ori to decorative arts.
After you've explored Peachtree Center, head back along Peachtree Street toward

Five Points. At the corner of Peachtree Street and International Boulevard you will find the internationally famous Atlanta Hard Rock Cafe, where you can pick up a prized Hard Rock Cafe t-shirt. Next you might want to step into the Westin Peachtree Plaza and take a ride in the elevator that takes you into the glass sphere you see on the skyline. A block further down the street, you'll see the Atlanta-Fulton County Public Library at Margaret Mitchell Plaza. The big pink marble building across the plaza is the Georgia Pacific Building, which houses the downtown branch of the High Museum of Art. Drop in to see its latest exhibit. Across Peachtree, at #140, you'll find the downtown branch of the Atlanta History Center, also with its own exhibits.
If you're up for yet another artistic experience as you round out your downtown tour, head for Georgia State University's Art Gallery on Peachtree Center Avenue. Note the Flatiron Building as you pass and be sure to walk through (not past) the lovely, restored Hurt Building on Edgewood Avenue.
If you like an academic atmosphere, take time to wander Georgia State University, one of the city's urban campuses. Other academic offerings include the Atlanta r University Complex (preeminent black educational establishments include Spellman, Morris Brown and Clark Colleges), Georgia Tech (where academic excellence meets sports excellence) , Emory University (where a tour includes the Emory University \ Museum of Arts and Archaeology) , Agnes Scott College (you might recognize it from television or movies it's frequently used as a typical college campus), or Oglethorpe University, a beautiful campus just north of Buckhead.

The former is a hot weather winner, with a 750,000 gallon wave pool, river rapids, water slides and a children's activity pool. The latter is designed for entire families, with indoor and outdoor activities, including miniature golf, go-karts and more. Although technically SciTrek isn't brand new, its spirit is dedicated to innovation encompassed in the world of science and technology.

Albertosaurus, a twenty-foot dinosaur? Ever wanted to visit the Okefenokee but didn't have the time? Never really understood how the universe began? If so, then the Fernbank Museum of Natural History is for you. Newly opened in October, 1992, the 160,000-square-foot building is a trea sure to see, featuring a limestone floor with fossil imprints and the Great Hall, a three-story atrium with a massive skylight.
Built with the mission to educate through exploration and discovery, Fernbank promotes an interactive learning experience by taking the visitor on "A Walk Through Time in Georgia," and by letting the kids frolic in the "Fantasy Forest," or by learning about the state in a "Georgia Adventure."

Any good attraction manages I preserve the best of its past while introducing the best of the new. One of the best places to mix the two worlds is at the High Museum of Art in Midtown. The High is housed in a stunning Richard Meier building that still looks as striking as it did when it opened several years ago. Inside, the visitor will find exhibitions from the permanent collection along with the best from the current art world.
In a slightly different vein, leaving the world of art for the world of commerce, Buckhead's Lenox Square manages to remain perpetually new. Long the signature mall of all malls, Lenox has grown literally and figuratively to become a hub of activity reminiscent in spirit of a kind of town square. Yet, the stores and establishments in Lenox set the standard for being among the most au courant in the South. Just across the street from Lenox is Phipps Plaza, recently enlarged, and home to Lord &. Taylor and Saks Fifth Avenue.
The commercial world of Atlanta generally offers both residents and visitors their strongest sense of being in

1993 Georgia On My Mind

the forefront of fashion. In addition to Lenox, the city is anchored by its many "commercial centers." From Southlake and Greenbriar to Market Square, Northlake, Cumberland, Perimeter and the Galleria, Atlanta is known for its superior shopping. But it isn't just stores you might find elsewhere: Atlanta shopping features one-of-a-kind establishments as well, from the DeKalb Farmer's Market on East Ponce de Leon in Decatur (literally a world of difference from what you might think of as a traditional Farmer's Market), to the Atlanta State Farmer's Market in Forest Park (open 24-hours a day), to the Turner Store in CNN Center (featuring "Gone With The Wind" items, along with Turner Broadcasting memorabilia) and the TULA Showrooms & Studios on Bennett Street, just off Peachtree near Peachtree Battle (an artists' collection from which you can add to your collection).
Coming to the second "T" in Atlanta, we find ourselves ready for Talent - the artistic variety and the sporting (team) type. Both are alive and thriving in the Atlanta Metro area.
Atlanta has a variety of arts venues and forms for a range of tastes and pocketbooks. Midtown is often thought of as the heart of Atlanta's cultural life. The Woodruff Center for the Performing Arts is perhaps the city's centerpiece, featuring the world-class Atlanta Symphony and the Alliance Theatre, as well as the previously mentioned High Museum of Art. A few blocks away on Spring Street is the Center for Puppetry Arts, an unusual combination of theater and museum, designed to delight both adults and children.
Close by, you'll find the Atlanta Ballet (which performs at the Civic Center), the Fox Theatre, an Atlanta landmark and home to events from theatrical road productions to pop concerts to movie classics, and the Center Stage Theater, a small venue featuring concerts by some of rock's rising stars.
Fanning out a bit, you'll find plenty of clubs, from the collection in Underground and Virginia Highland, to Buckhead and beyond. In the summertime, there are concerts outdoors at Chastain Park's amphitheater and at

40

the Coca-Cola Lakewood Amphitheater. Any season, there's always the Omni for the really "big" events, from music and the circus to Hawks basketball.

Theater goers will find plenty of fine theater around the city, from the Alliance and its Studio Theater to Seven Stages, Marietta's Theater in the Square to Neighborhood Playhouse to the Theatrical Outfit and many more.
