I'll be heading to Atlanta this weekend. Can anybody give me some suggestions on things to do, places to avoid (every city has them), and some good restaurants would be good too. I'll plan on spending most my time downtown and midtown. Thanks in advance.

Go and check out Stone Mountain, there usually isn't much going on downtown on the weekends. I may be wrong this weekend, but your decided to come at a really Hot time.

Yeah, I know, it's in the 90's in Louisville, I imagine it's even hotter there....

I'm seeing this late, but check out the Summerfest in the Highlands. Tons of people and art. If you like that kind of stuff.

Not much to do in Atlanta, so just keep heading south to Florida. More then enough to do there.

LOL @ "not much to do in Atlanta." I'll be in Atlanta this weekend also for a church convention and there will be at least four events going on at the Georgia World Congress Center alone.

Woooow.....you must not get out much.

It depends. Are you looking to be a typical tourist in Atlanta, or do you want to actually experience Atlanta and get a good taste for the city?

There's a LOT more to Atlanta than the World of Coca Cola and the CNN Center and other tourist haunts.

The originator of this thread was visiting Atlanta in early June. Someone accidentally revived it...

By looking at that comment, it wasn't an accident.

Wow I think this has recieved more posts now then two months ago when I actually went lol... I ended up going to the aquarium, the Coca Cola place, and caught a Braves game (the tourist stuff) but I spent a lot of time in midtown also and really liked it, and Marta really fit my needs for the weekend. All in all it was a great weekend.
