1995 Georgia On My Mind

Welcome!

As a youngster grow-

ing up in Young liar

ris at the foot of the

great Appalachians, I

2

was convinced there

4

is no finer place to

he than in the Nortl1

5

Georgia Mounlllins.

8 10

Having now experienced Georgia's

Governor Zell Miller

many other scenic treasures, like the sunny

12

coasllll beaches and tlie pristine beauty of our

16

lakes and rivers, I am pleased to share them with

you. Georgia even has its own "L.ittle Grand Can-

18

yon'' that is well worth the trip off the interstate

20

that you are accustomed 10 traveling.

22

As a former history professor, I would especially

26

like io invite you to explore Georgia's rid1 and colorful past. Georgia is one of the original 13

89

colonies that eventually became one of the first

117

states in our country. We are home to two American presidents. the world's most popular soft

165

drink, the Inventor of the Cherokee alphabet ,md

179

tl1c world's largest college campus.

My wife. Shirley, and I maintain our family home

in the mountains, hut our memories of great Geor-

31

gia vacations stretch the entire lengtl1of the state. We are honored that you are considering

63

Georgia as your United States vacation destina-

73

tion. We helieve that you will find , as we did. that each visit ends with a longing to return.

91

With warm best wishes and best regards,

109

I am, sincerely.

G eorgia was one of tl1eoriginal 13 colonies and was tmablished bytl1e English in 1733 at Savannah. The region's history, howel'er, dates

back centuries earlier to a period when Creek and Cherokee Native Americans inhabited Li1e area Their settlements. although widespread and

highly developed tl1roughoul the region, were gradually reduced as Europeans settled in Li1e New World.

ll wasn't until

1730, howe1-er, that a group of English seulers made plans to establish a separate colon)' and name it after King George II. In Mardi 1776.

Georgia joined tl1e fight against tl1e British for independence.

l
'111e Revolutionary W:1r ended in 1783, and Georgia became

the fouru1 slate in the Union to ratify tl1e United States Constitution. Settlers and land companies began del'eloping the new state. In 1838 tl1e

remaining Nati1<e Americans in Georgia were forced 10 nee to Oklahoma on tl1e tragic "Trail of 1ears."

Atlanta de1<elopcd

as a transport.1tion crossroad~ :md hecame a city in 1845. But witl1 the start of tl1e Civil War in 1861. Georgia's progress came to a halt.

In 1863. Gen. William Shem1an's Union forces marched across Georgia, burning and destroying nearlyeverything in ilieir

path. ThL~ de\lastation was later immortalized in Atlanta author Margaret Mitchell's cla~ic 1101,e!, Gone IVilb 7'/Je !Vind. Follo\\~ng the Civil

\Var, Georgia's cities prospered and her economy gradually recovered. Manufacturing and trade began expanding. Railwayconstruction

resumed. banking activities increased and towns grew. Through the tum of U1e century and on through two World Wars, the state continued to

experience industrial and business growtl1.

In 1990 the world held its colleclive breath as Juan Antonio Samaranch, President of the International Olympic

Committee, awarded the 1996 Summer Olympic Games to "the city of ... Atlanta" However, Samaranch's announcement represented not

just a plum for the metro area, but a victory for tl1e entire state ofGeorgia.

As tl1e residents of Georgia's capital began their

preparation for their new status as Olympic hosis, so too did thecitizens ofeach of the nine travel regions. 'l11e Atlanta Metro region will host

the lion's share of events, but look for other venue sites as you joumey throughout Georgia.

The Historic Heartland

features four evenlS, Equestrian (Conyers), Soccer (Athens), Mountain Biking (Rockdale County) and \blleyball (Alhens). The Northeast

Georgia Mountains will host Canoe/Kayak-Sprint and Rowing (both al Lake Lanier); Presidential Pathways spotlights Softball (Columbus),

and the C.olonial Coast is home to Yachting (Savannah).

111is venue plan allows visitors to enjoy all the amenities of a

cosmopolitan city while experiencing the wonderful dlverslly of Georgia's countryside, from the golden coast to the magnolia-shaded

heartland, to the epic grandeur of tl1e mountains.And the Olympics will offereven more than the greatest amateur athletics in the world. The

Cultural Olympiad, a multi-year program encompassing the arts, culture and entertainment, has an ongoing program of festivals,
exhibitions and colloquia that culminates in the 1996 Olympic Arts Festival.

1995 Georgia 011 t.~y Mind

The 1996 Centennial Olympic Games will have an amazing impacl on all facets of life in Georgia culture, athletics, infrastructure, entertainment and visitors to our enchanting stale will reap int mediate benefits.
The artistic and cultural traditions of the American South ,viii be' showcased
in the Cultural Olympiad and the 1996
Olympic Arts Festival, the programs of which feature two themes:Southern Connectio11s and /11ternatio11al Con11ec-
tio11s - A Centennial Celebration.
Southem Connections events wUl celebrale the extraordinarUy rich and diverse cul tural heritage of Atlanta and the South. Programs themed fnterna lional Connections will bring the best international artistry to Georgia. Some
of U1e exciting eventS planned fo r 1995
include a gaLhering of the living Nobel Laureates of Literature for readings ru1d colloquia. Some confirmed attendees include Toni Morrison (awarded 1993, American), Octavio Paz (awarded 1990, Mexican) and Czeslaw Milosz (awarded 1980, Polish-American), tO name a few.
Many cities and towns are following suit and creating their own programs to highlight U1e unique aspects of each region. For example, Macon, located in rhe Historic Heartland, will host a celebration of Georgia's food and music caUed "Macon, Georgia - America's Dreamtown for Georgia Music and Food!" Visitors will have a chance to tour the new Georgia Music Hall of Fru11e, hear some of Georgia's most prominent entertainers, sample frunous Georgia products Uke Vidalia onions, Claxton fruitcakes, Muscadine wine, and Mayhaw jellies; participate in cooking contests and meet celebrity chefs.
Transportation to Olympic events and venues will be a snap, thru1ks to MARTA, the official spectator transportation system of the Games. Atickel to an Olympic event will also be a ticket to travel MARTA throughout the day of that event. No matter where Olympic spectators board MARTA, they will not have to pay any additional fee. Or, if walking is the preferred mode of transportation, the Centennial Olympic Park

in downtown Atlanta will provide a pleasant spot in which to relax, as well as encompassing pedestriw corridors to many venues.
All in all the Olympics in Georgia means 31 new or modified venues; eight Olympic Villages; 10,200,000 tickets; 640,000 hotel room nights; 3,000 plus hours of television coverage; and 1,000,000 plus meals served. And Georgians are working hard to ensure a pleasant experience for aU of our Olympic guests.

Ir's not surprising ATLANTA METRO won chc compccicion for the 1996 Summer O lympic Games. The cicy has a track record for accepcing cough challenges and prevailing by sheer emhusiasm.
At che end of che Civil War, when ALianca had been destroyed by fire, her citizens chose co rebuild, though nearly everything
they owned was in ashes.
In the early 1960s, a resurgent Aclanrn invested in a modern airport. the biggesc air traffic hub in the Southeast, then built an even larger one in 1980. With the huge Atlanta/H artsfield Internacional Airport, the ciry became one of che largest air transportation centers in the world and one of che cop convention and couri~m sires in North Americ.,.
Oprimism seized Adancans in 1965, when they constructed a gianr baseball stadium a year before enricing a ream away from Milwaukee. Then they cheered through 25 seasons, dreaming ofa National League Championship. Who will ever forget che Atlanta Braves performances in the '9 1

and '92 World Series and '9 1. '92 and '93 National League Pennanr thrillers?
Today, on the eve ofthe Cenrennial Olympic Games, ATLANTA METRO's
2.9 million people are poised co be
winners again. The world will be watching more chan jusc the celevised s pons accion. Record numbers of visitors will be descending upon the city, resting its legendary sourhern hospitality and looking for amusement~. Plcasanr surprises await chem, and everyone else who visits, now or in 1996.
Atlanta is a sprawling city. Viewed from the air, it appears co be a mass ofgreenery, with gleaming sky-scrapers ac the heart of a spaghetti-knot ofincerscace highways. Ac ground level ic is all trees, rolling hills, preccy neighborhoods, and a clean, archicecrurally impressive hotel and cencrnl business core. Underground, beneath che viaducrs char cover the original screecs and railyards of old Atlanta, are an atmospheric historic district and an emertainmenr capiral.
Since Aclanta's srreccs do noc form a grid pattern, and since there is a profusion of

srreers conraining the word "Peachtree" (32 ac l~c count), the easiest way co gee oriented co Aclanra is co learn the main neighborhoods, suburban areas, and a few notable landmarks.
Five Points is synonymous with cenrraJ downcown. Ir is rhe inrcrsecrion of Peachtree Street (rhe famous one), Mariecra Screet, and Edgewood Avenue. Ir's also the southern end of the business and financial disrrict and rhe location of Woodruff Park, a $10 million gift ro the city from the former president of Coca-Cola, Roberr Woodruff. Covering an entire block, rhe park is one of che besr places to catch a lunchrime glimpse ofa cross secrion of Aclanra's citizenry.
A short walk away, Merropoliran Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority's (MARTA) rapid rail lines cross ar the main Five Points Station. The nationally acclaimed MARTA public transportation system, with 39 miles of rrack and 1,500 miles of feeder bus rout~, is che least expensive way co go jusr about anywhere in Arlanra. Downtown ro the airport is a cool 15-minuce ride.

Across from rhe MARTA Five Points Srarion is che entrance co Underground Atlanta, now in irs second exciting reincarnation. Covering J2 cavernous acres, Underground is filled with L2 resrauranrs and nightclubs, over I00 specialty shops and screetcart merchants, and is the gateway co three of the city's historical arrractions.
Lower Alabama Screer was rhe original Underground, the horresc spot in rown in che lace 1960s and early 70s. Ir is now jusr one part ofa cornily redeveloped complex char reopened in 1989. Old Alabama Streec Eaccry is che colorfuJ, fun-filled food courc, and Kenny's Alley is entertainment row.
H eritage Row, also in Underground, recalls Arlanra's history from rhe wilderness years and rhe days of King Corron co rhe Civil War siege and rhc building of rhe New Sourh.

On a smaller scale. the Monetary Museum at rhc Federal Rcserve Bank just down che block, rells a fascinating story of rhe origins and use of money chroughouc the ages. The High Museum at Georgia Pacific is a mini-version of the much bigger upcown original, yer convenicnc for sightseers with limited rime.
Because Atlanta is county seat, stare capital. and regional headquarters for federal government, a sizeable chunk of downtown has become the "government corridor." This includes a newly rcnovared City Hall, the Fulton County Complex, che Richard B. Russell Federal BuiJding, various scare office buildings, and the distinctive, gold-domed Georgia State Capitol.
The Classic Renaissance-style Capitol is a National Historic Landmark. It was builr in 1889, for just under$ I million. A Hall of Flags and rhe State Musel1m of Science and Indusrry are located inside its Georgia marble-lined interior. The Capitol dome

has been gilded C\vice, both rimes with precious metal donated by Georgia citizens. The dome is a piece of scare history, a reminder chat America's first gold rush cook place in I 828 in Dahlonega, Georgia, source of rhe Capitol dome gold.
An 11-block portion of downcown is occupied by Peachtree Center, designed by Atlanta archirecr John Portman, who shaped the city' s dramatic modern skyline. Peachrree Center is truly the center of Atlanta business activity with three of the city's fmest hotels; seven office cowers; the Atlanta Merchandise, Apparel, and Gift Marts; and lnforum, a spacious meeting center and computer/ information processing mare.
Revolvi ng restaurants and lounges atop che Westin Peachtree Plaza and the Hyatt Regency Atlanta afford sweeping, panoramic views of che city. Some of Arlama's best shopping, dining, and people watching are in and around Peachtree Center.
