Georgia opens its doors to the world this year for the 1996 Summer Olympic Games and invites peopie from around the globe to experience the history, culture and beauty of both the old and new South. Visitors will find that Georgia offers the best places for any lifestyle, including a prominent, international city to do business, genteel Southern plantation towns to relax and either picturesque mountains or pristine beaches to play
Tourists can discover the rich heritage of the state in the nostalgic towns that lie between the Appalachian Mountains and the Okefenokee Swamp. Don't forget to stop and sample the tastes of the region like sweet tea, cornbread, black-eyed peas, barbecue and peach pie in one of the locals' favorite spots.

73JJ at Savannah and urth state to ratify the Constitution
ing the tragic " Trail of Tears." Atlanta developed as a transportation crossroads and became a city in 1845. But with the onset of the Civil War in 1861, Georgia's progress came to a halt. In 1863, Gen. William Sherman' s Union forces burned and destroyed nearly everything during their March to the Sea. After the Civil War, cities rebuilt and as manufacturing and trade grew, Georgia developed as the gateway of the South. Atlanta later played a pivotal role in AfricanAmerican heritage as the birthplace of both Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (left) and the Civil Rights movement.

a cowboy or cowgirl at heart, go to the 13th Annual Barrow County Saddle Club PCA Rodeo in Cartersville. If you love the theater, see productions of "Steel Magnolias," "Verdi ct in Bartow," and "A Day with Margaret Mitchell."
Whatever your tastes, whatever region you visit, Georgia has something just for you. Experience Georgia.
The Northeast Georgia Mountains, site of Olympic canoeing, kayaking and rowing on lovely Lake Lanier, will tempt you to participate in a number of entertaining activities, while enjoying the magnificent surroundings. Visit Dahlonega when the O lympic Torch passes through, catch local musicians on Fiddlin' Night, or enjoy an evening hayride. Elberton's all-day-long extravaganza, A Taste of Southern Hospitality, offers wonderful food, exhibits and entertainment. In Gainesville, you'll delight in a summer-long array of funfilled events, including a Performing Arcs Festival, a Visual Arts Festival, a Children's Festival and an International Food Festival.

Now We Have A Top-Five Ranking To Prove It.
Impeccable grooming earned the Mountain View Course at Callaway Gardens a top-five ranking as one of the nation's best maintained courses accord-
ing to golf's harshest critics - the professionals on the ,..<,'l<ALJ..EN<_._1994 PGA TOUR. In fact, the 18-hole Mountain View Course, ranked with Muirfield Village, Westchester, Castle Pines and Oakmont,
is the only resort course to make the top five according to Golf Course News.
So come take your best shot at Mountain View, or challenge the equally stunning greens and fairways at Lake View and Gardens View. Because when it comes to beautiful courses, we don't play around.

The world Is about to discover the great city of Atlanta - sprawling, exciting, overflowing with vitality its soaring skyline a beacon drawing travelers to the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. From Buckhead to Stone Mountain, from Marietta to Gwinnett, this worlck:lass metropolis links the magic and promise of the future to the rich heritage of the region's past, as symbolized by Scarlett O'Hara (inset), Immortal heroine of the literary classic " Gone with the Wlnd,w
It's not surprising ATLANTA METRO won the competition for the 1996 Summer O lympic Games. The city has a track record fo r accepting rough challenges and prevailing by sheer enthusiasm.
At the end of the C ivil War, when Atlanta had been destroyed by fire, her citizens chose to rebuild, though nearly everything they owned was in ashes.
In the early 1960s, a resurge nt Atlanta invested in a modern airport, the biggest air traffic hub in the Southeast, then built an even larger one in 1980. With the huge Atlan ta/ Harts fi eld International Airport, the ciry became one of the largest air transportation centers in the world and one of rhe top convention and tourism sires in North America.
Optimism seized Atlantans in 1965, when they constructed a giant basebal l stadium a year before enticing a team away from Mi lwaukee. T hen they cheered through 25 seasons, dreaming of a National League Championship. Who will ever forget the
Underground Atlanta, in lite heart of downtown, is a gatlzering pointfor visitors am/ locals alike.
Atlanta Braves in their '91, '92 and '93 National League Pennant thrillers, their performances in the '91 and '92 World
Series, and most especially their championship of rhe '95 World Series?
Today, on rhe eve of the Centennial Olympic Games, ATLANTA METRO's 2.9 million people are poised to be winners again . The world will be watching more than just the televised sports action. Record numbers of visitors will be descending upon the city, testing its legendary southern hospitality. Pleasant surprises await chem , and everyone else who visits, now or in 1996.
Atlanta is a sprawling city. Viewed from the air, it appears to be a mass of greenery, with gleaming sky-scrapers at the heart of a spaghetti-knot of interstate highways. At ground level it is all trees, rolling hills, pretty neighborhoods, and a clean, architecturally impressive hotel and central business core. Underground, beneath the viaducts chat cover the original streets and railyards of old Atlanta, are an atmospheric historic district and an entertainment capital.
Since Atlanta's streets do not form a grid pattern, and since there is a profusion of streets containing the word "Peachtree" (32 at last count), the easiest way to gee oriented to Atlanta is to learn the main

neighborhoods, suburban areas, and a few notable land marks.
Five Points is synonymous with central downtown. Ir is the intersection of Peachtree Street (the famous one), Marietta Street, and Edgewood Avenue. Ir's also che southern end of the bus iness and financial district and rhe location of Woodruff Park, a $10 million gift co the ciry from rhe former president of Coca-Cola, Robert Woodruff. Covering an entire block, rhe park is one of the best places co catch a lunchtime glimpse of a cross section ofAclanta's citizenry.
A shore walk away, Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Auchoriry's (MARTA) rapid rail lines cross at the main Five Points Station. The nationally acclaimed MARTA public transportation system, with 39 miles of track and 1,500 miles of feeder bus routes, is the least expensive way co go just about anywhere in Atlanta.

Lower Alabama Street was the original Underground, rhe hottest spot in town in the late 1960s and early 70s. Ir is now just one pare of a totally redeveloped complex char reopened in 1989. Old Alabama Street Eatery is the colorful, fun-fi lled food court, and Kenny's Alley is entertainment row.

The Classic Renaissance-style Capitol is a National Hiscoric Landmark. It was built in 1889, for just under $1 million. A Hall of Flags and the State Museum of Science and Industry are located inside its Georgia marble-lined interior. The Capicol dome has been gilded twice, both times with precious metal donated by Georgia citizens. The dome is a piece of state hiscory, a reminder that America's first gold rush cook place in 1828 in Dahlonega, Georgia, source of the Capicol dome gold.
An I I-block portion of downcown is occupied by Peachtree Center, designed by Aclanta architect John Portman, who shaped the ciry's dramatic modern skyline. Peachtree Center is truly the center of Atlanta business activi ty with three of the city's finest hotels; seven office cowers; the Atlanta Merchandise, Apparel, and Gift Marts; and lnforum , a spacious m eeting center and co mputer/ information proce mg mart.
Revolving restaurants and lounges acop the Westin Peachtree Plaza and the Hyatt Regency Atlanta afford sweep ing, panoramic views of the ciry. Some of Aclanta's best shopping, dining, and people watch ing are in and around Peachtree Center.
Atlanta's commercial, civic, and cultu ral measure is in large part due to contributions made by an accomplished African-American community. Sweet Auburn Historic District was the soul and pride of black Aclanta from the 1890s co the mid-1900s. A business, residential, and entertainment enclave along Auburn Avenue east of Five Points, this small section of town produced men and women who influenced the hiscory of the city, state, and nation.
Martin Luther King, Jr., world-renowned
civil rights leader and Nobel Peace Prize recipient was born on Auburn Avenue. His Birth Home, Ebenezer Baptist Church where he and his father preached, and Freedom Hall Complex, which co ntains Dr. King's gravesite and the Center for Non-Violent Social Change, have been designated pare of the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site. T he surrounding neighborhood and all of Sweet Auburn are included in a National Park Service Preservation District. T he APEX MUSEUM - or African American Panoramic Experience - on Auburn Avenue is an informative introduction co the whole area.

Midtown , from Ponce de Leon Avenue north to 26th Street, continues to mix the old and new, but here the atmosphere i more residential, as seen in the attractive homes ofAnsley Park.
Even so, the area is fast becoming a Southern version of off-Broadway. Anchored by the Woodruff Arts Center, which includes the Atlanta Symphony, the Alliance and Studio Theatres, and the High Museum of Art, Midtown is also the address of at least 10 ocher live

Preservation. Colony Square, one of the first of Midtown's new skyscrapers, is a contemporary condo/office/horel/ shopping and dining complex.
The most popular place in Midtown is 180-acre Piedmont Park, which hosts the spring Atlanta Dogwood Festival and the fall Arts Festival of Atlanta. The park is a haven for walkers, joggers, roller skaters, roller bladers, picnickers, tennis and softball players, and just about anyone who wants to relax. A large portion of the park includes Atlanta Botanical Garden and its $3.5 million Fuqua Conservatory, an oasis of exotic tropical plants from around the world.
While there are hundreds of fine restaurants in ATLANTA METRO , everything from simple BBQ joints to elegant Southern mansions, one in Midtown must be singled our as a local institution. The Varsity near Georgia Tech has been dishing up chili cheese dogs and fried pies in its own special way since 1928. It is billed as rhe world's largest drive-in.
America's oldest baller company and one of rhe nation's top physical science museums are located next to each ocher on rhe outskirts of Midtown. Although rhe 1995-1996 season will be performed at The Fox Theatre, The Atlanta Ballet typically performs at the Civic Center, adjacent to Sci-Trek, where more than 100 hands-on exhibits illustrate basic principles of science and their application to everyday life.
On the eastern periphery of Midtown, two intersecting streets give their names to the area known as Virginia-Highland. T he informal , moderately-priced restaurants nestled in chis cozy neighborhood are perennial Atlanta favorites. Nearby Inman Park is filled with stately Victorian homes. Irs commercial center, Little Five Points, is perhaps the "funkiest" vi llage in Aclanta, with offbeat shopping, dining and nighclife.

Marietta is fast becoming a hot place for buying and selling antiques, especially in and around the square. Some 21 antique shops representing over 200 dealers can be found here, along with many other stores and restaurants. Theatre in the Square presents professional live theater, and Glover Park in the center of the square is the scene of numerous concerts and festivals throughout the year.
Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, a short drive from Marietta Square, is the site of two Civil War battles chat
paved the way for the siege of Atlanta. A visitor center/museum offers a 15-minute slide show on the campaign, and the grounds provide miles of original earthworks, historic markers, roads and hiking trails to the Kennesaw Mountain summit. Big Shanty Museum, also in Kennesaw, features The General, a legendary steam locomotive that was hijacked during one of the more unusual episodes of the war.
Vinings Village has a somewhat indelicate Civil War history. The plantation home of Hardy Pace, operator of the famous Pace's Ferry across the Chattahoochee River, was commandeered for use as a Union hospital. As Northern soldiers died, they were buried in his yard, "but dug up as the troops came back through Georgia and laid to rest in the North," say Pace fam ily records. Several of the houses in Vinings are now antique shops, and one is a well-known restaurant.
There's also a modern side to Marierca. Whitewater Park and American Adventures are magnets to youngsters looking for big summer fun in a water-filled playground or the kind of theme park that caters just to kids.
Historic Roswell is one of the few Civil War targets in Georgia that survived almost intact. A milling rown 28 miles north of Atlanta, Roswell's business was the manufacture of gray cloth for Confederate uni forms. General Sherman politely destroyed only the mill, leaving

Atlanta Metro's Celestine Sibley
In 1995, Celestine Sibley, long-time columnist for the Atlanta Journal/Constitution, was named by the Georgia legislature as an official state treasure. It's easy to see why. Her column, which appears four times every week, is a perennial favorite with readers.
In her distinguished career as a newspaper reporter, starting when she was 15, Sibley's duties have included covering the weather bureau, the county jail, and Hollywood. But it is her column that has endeared her to readers. In it, she writes with honesty, warmth, and down-home humor. She writes about family and friends, about her house (called Sweet Apple), about the pain of life and death. She writes out of experience - a life with more than its share of pain - in such a way that has allowed her readers to strongly identify with her over the years. Her readers are as devoted to her as she is to them, and it is her devotion that led to the well-deserved designation of official state treasure.

Historic Roswell has many interesting p laces to explore.
most of RoswelJ's antebellum structures co posterity.
Greek Revival Bulloch Hall (c.1839) was the girlhood home of Mittie Bulloch, mother of President Theodore Roosevelt and grandmother of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. The Roswell Visiror Center on Aclanta treet provides walking rour brochures and guided tours of this and 26 other hisroric sites.
is a stop at the Atlanta Falcons Headquarters and Training Camp in Suwanee. The NFL pro team practices here mid-summer through fall, and the public is invited to watch. Visitors can also work out at the Falcons' year-round fi mess center.
T he Bricks (c.1840), once housing for
m ill workers, and the rebuilt 1882 Mill
are now used for shopping, dining and entertainment functions. The Historic D istrict embraces dozens of galleries, working artists' studios, specialty shops and restaurants.
In 1845, The Archibald Sm ith Plantation
Home, along with some 13 outbui ldings, wa built about a mile north of Roswell. The home was kept in cl1e family for generations and preserved in its original state. Opened to cl1e public in 1991 , it accurately portrays the southern lifestyle of a mid-19th century cotton planter.
The Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, south of Roswell , is where Aclantans like to enjoy one of clieir favorite sports, rafting down the Chattahoochee. The Chattahoochee Nature Center offers educational programs, woodland hiking trails and a scenic boardwalk for observing the river marsh and its wildlife.
One highlight of a visit to Gwinnett County, 30 minutes northeast of Atlanta,
Sports-minded Gwinnett prides itself on its first-class tennis center, Peachtree World of Tenn is, and on being named host venue for the 1995-1997 U.S. Hot Air Balloon Championships.
Around the county there are small southern towns to explore, like O ld T ow n Lilburn, Historic Norcross, and Buford. There is a touch of civic histo ry at the Historic Courthouse/History Museum in Lawrenceville, and a manor home and 90-acre garden estate at Vines Botanical Gardens. The Southeastern Railway Museum in Duluth displays items historically significant to the nation 's railroads, including over 40 units of rolling stock. Children love the Yellow River Game Ranch in Lilburn, where petting the animals is always allowed.

Though most of Gwinnett has a serene country air, it is one of the fastest growing counties in America. Sophisticated shopping and dining are available at Gwinnett Place Mall, while the Georgia Antique Center in Norcross offers fine antique and collectibles from over 200 shops in one marketplace.
DeKalb is Georgia's second largest county and constitutes 25 percent of metropolitan Atlanta. Its county seat, Decatur, just seven miles east of downtown, is know n for its beautifully landscaped neighborhoods and renowned university. At Emory University, "Harvard of the South," the extensively renovated Michael C.

T he Fernbank Museum of N atural History is the largest natural history museum in the southeast. It has the state's first IMAX T heater, a dinosaur gallety, and its permanent exhibit, "A Walk Through Time in Georgia," uses the state of Georgia as a microcosm to tell the histoty of the earth. The compan ion Fernbank Science Center boasts one of the largest planetariums in the nation and a 65-acre forest with walki ng trails specifically designed for the visually impaired.
Dramatic evidence of Atlanta's growing multi-cultural diversity permeates Your DeKalb Farmer's Market. With delicious fre h foods and baked goods from over 30 countries, this is the largest indoor market of its kind in the wo rld.
