Let me tell you bout a place too hot for SANTA No Polar Bears, but maybe a PANDA Rays of sun but none from a MANTA No Pepsi just Coke and FANTA The only Montana down here is HANNAH Lots of immigrants from Guam and GHANA Wanna do a Scottish accent but I CANNA Welcome to the wonderful city of ATLANTA WHAT The setting of the Anthony Hopkins movie "Hearts In Atlanta", and the hometown of one of the world's great oceans (the Atlanta Ocean), this is a truly spectacular, up and coming city which has been ballooning and growing rapidly, spiralling out of control for a long time, in a mushroom shape (because the north burbs are growing up and out faster than anywhere else). What can I say about Atlanta that hasn't already been said. No literally, please tell me some original things to say about this city. It is a wonderful place to come and do food tour. There are some really friendly people around here, but also some unfriendly folks. It's a very young city so it has some of the other problems that young cities have such as Los Angeles and Houston and Washington DC, which is that there is an energy and a fervor in which people can get caught up and lost and left behind. There is an aggression and a selfishness and a sense of capitalism. These cities seem very American in the strangest way. Atlanta always also seems, simultaneously, extremely International. Especially up in the North East. I used to come to Atlanta often when I was a kid. My first serious girlfriend in the USA who was 28 and worked for the government and dated me when I was 16 - Yes I'm serious - She lives in nearby Alabama. So I would fly into Hartsfield regularly to see her. She drove up to see me and would let me drive her car (with no license) back to her home in Alabama. My next girlfriend in this region when I was 18, lived right here in Dunwoody. She was also over a decade my senior. Back before it was the coolest place to live and it was just beginning to get trendy and exciting for rich white people. One of the true original leafy suburbs. I don't come back here too often but those memories will always haunt me. Plus I met one of my very first porn actresses here. Cheyenne Silver. Ended up in Playboy. Hope she's doing well. She was not the girl I dated here. Sadly. In terms of the whether I actually really like it. The summers are extraordinarily hot but the rest of the year is not only tolerable and bearable but wonderful. Atlanta has some of the nicest climates for all of the time other than the summer. As for food, this is one of the hotbeds of the whole South. It's not quite on the Houston level and standard, but it definitely is competing with places like Washington DC and Philadelphia in terms of things to eat. And gems that are off the beaten track that nobody really knows about. Most of them are up in the Northeast along Buford Hwy, or in the surrounding suburbs. East Atlanta has some pretty amazing stuff too, as does the South. Nick's Gyro is one of the best in the whole country and easily the best in the region. The Ghetto Burger is one of the best you'll get, from Ann's Snack Bar, whcih for service can be hit-or-miss, but the burgers never are. The ethnic options in the Northeast part of town are wonderful. Try Snowflake for the best brown sugar milk tea. Try Chongqing inside the Chinatown food court in Chamblee to get the very best lamb cumin over handmade noodles. And the sticks of lamb at Tsingtao brother in the same food court. For late night cool people and cute chicks try any of the Sweet Hut Bakery locations. Full list - Get a Gyro at Nick's Greek To Go. - Ghetto Burger from Ann's Snack Bar - Fish Tacos at El Rey Del Taco - Brown Butter Gelato from Honeysuckle in the market - Bakery treats from Sweet Hut - Brown Sugar Milk Tea from Snowflake - Chongqing in Chamblee for Cumin Lamb w/handmade noodle' - Tsingtao next to it for Lamb Cumin Sticks - Flavors of Chicago, Lucky Dog, Chicago Delights for Chi-dogs Now I feel like I'm being herded into the next review like cATL, so I'm gonna skedATL and go write it. But finally, ATLast, I did a review for Atlanta. Now I'm going to review ATLa the Hun. read more

Who doesn't LOVE Atlanta!! One of the great cities of the South.......one of the great cities of our nation. We were just driving through on our way to the mountains. We picked up our son from the Shaky Knees Festival and were on our way. I think I loved this drive through Atlanta because I had none of the typical traffic tie ups going or coming back home. Atlanta has it all!! History. Culture. Food. Sports and Entertainment. Everything that a great city has to offer. read more

Small local financial business for Cobb County residents. Personal, unsecured loans can be done over the phone. Repayment terms are good, interest rate is not competitive (in fact, it's downright shameful- 50%, yep, you read correctly, you pay back what you borrow plus 50% of it), but if you're in a really tight, sudden bind, you know how you (and when) you're going to repay- for a QUICK, no hassle, small loan, it doesn't get much better. The staff is SUPER friendly, and really goes above and beyond to work with you and your objectives. It seems like they know everyone by name, which is nice these days. There's a $10 referral bonus for each new customer you send in. Give Tony, Corey, or Linda a call. Tell 'em I sent ya! read more

There's a history which hangs over this humid, sweltering hot, city. I can feel the small town aspirations of the capitol of Dixie. I can feel the oppression which is preserved in the subway map. Segregation is tough here, and social mobility is scarce. I went to a local Baptist Church to hear the word of the lord. I could taste it coming through the air. I believe in you, Hotlanta, be proud. read more

I love me some Atlanta Georgia. I truly had a wonderful time. I can't wait until my June 2014 because I will be there celebrating my 32nd birthday. There are so many sights to see and so much to do. read more

I'm from Charleston, but decided we were going to take a mini vaca to Atlanta. Loved it. Didn't like the roads. but who does when you don't know what your doing. Got to be careful for the Suicide lanes, they will get ya. IF your going to do sight seeing or visit different things I would highly recommend the Atlanta city Pass if you do it in advance it's like 74$ and you get the zoo, aquarium, coke factory and 2 museums. Even if you just do the zoo and aquarium it pretty much pays for it's self from what we figured out. We will def go back soon! read more
