And now... by popular demand...things to do in ATLANTA!!!
Atlanta, the city of thousands of Peachtree Streets...
Vibrant culture, jazz, and extracurricular activities aplenty...
Here I would like to start a thread for Atlanta Citizens to post fun activities for our visiting brothers (and sisters) to partake in during their stay.
Off the top of my head I can name a couple things to do downtown including,
-the High Museum of Art (one of the best museums in the South)

-Coke World (all the Coke and Coke Products you can drink)
-Martin Luther King Memorial (happy birthday!)
http://www.nps.gov/malu/
-Margaret Mitchell House (author of Gone With the Wind)
http://www.gwtw.org/
-Jimmy Carter Museum

-Stone Mountain (kinda far from Downtown, 20 mins or forever in our traffic- second worst in the Nation!!!) Though I heard they kinda sold out recently and it's kinda a theme park now
-Andretti Speed Lab (fun!)
-Atlanta Motor Speedway (home of the Petit Le Mans sp?)
-SciTrek Museum (very cool demos of almost every science) recomended!!
-Underground (uhh, you might want to rethink this... it's fun, don't get me wrong, just not for extended periods of time...) Used to be the premier clubbing area of the South East, now it's a tourist trap... example: home over 10,000 different Atlanta key chains *sigh*
-Buckhead (If you really want to go clubbin PM me)
-Six Flags (closed during the weekdays??)
-Atlanta Ballet
-Atlanta Symphony Orchestra ASO
-Ferst Center (no not FIRST, Ferst)

-Center for Puppetry Arts (very cool)

-CNN studio tours (neat-always wondered how they did that!)
-Georgia Tech Campus tours (fun)
