Atlanta, Georgia is big for sports for sure, but that is not all that we are known for. Sure we are home to the Atlanta Braves of Major League Baseball, the Atlanta Falcons of the Nation Football League, the Atlanta Hawks of the Nation Basketball Association, and the Atlanta Thrashers of the Nation Hockey League.
But, we do not stop there. There are many sights to be taken in here. Lets break it down is sections.
SPORTS:
Atlanta is well know for sports. We have the Braves, the Falcons, the Hawks, and the Thrashers, but it does not stop there. You can take in a Nascar race at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. Atlanta was home to the 1996 Olympics. We have many tennis venues around the Metro Atlanta Area. We have vast participation when it comes to amateur softball and baseball. Youth sports is huge in the greater Atlanta area. We are also home to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets as well as Georgia State University and Georgia Perimeter College which each have athletic teams. GPC has one of the best soccer teams in the nation and proved that last year as the played for the national championship and lost on an Overtime Kick.
Nightlife:
Alicia Bridges said it best when she sang "I Love the Nightlife". Atlanta has a vast array of nightclubs that one can take in. Regardless of your flavor, Atlanta probably has it. From sports bars, to strip clubs, to gay or lesbian clubs, to singles clubs, to pubs, or clubs for the swingers; there is something for all when it comes to the Atlanta's Nightlife. If live music is your thing, there are clubs that will cater to that as well. Or, if you want a Martini and cigar bar, we can accommodate that for you too.
Diversity:
Atlanta has a very diverse population. We encompass and cater to all different types of people from African-Americans to Jewish to Native Americans to Hispanic to Asian. We also do not discriminate based on sexual orientation as Atlanta is home to many Gays and Lesbians. The diversity in Atlanta makes it a great place to live as you can learn about many cultures and different walks of life and how they coexist in a major city.
Shopping:
Atlanta is home to many shopping malls and a ton of mom and pop shops. There are three really nice urban malls in Atlanta. They are Atlantic Station, Lenox Square Mall, Phipps Plaza. If you get into the greater area of Atlanta, it is much more vast than this. If you are here to shop, Atlanta definitely can help you spend some money.
Amusement Parks & Attractions:
If amusement parks are your thing, you can make a day of it riding roller coasters at Atlanta's Six Flags over Georgia or cooling off at Whitewater Park. Or if animals is your thing, you could spend a day a Zoo Atlanta or take in a tour at the Georgia Aquarium. There are many other attractions that you can also take in.
Dining:
If you are anything like me, you love to eat. And Atlanta can take care of that for you. There is every type of restaurant and every type of food. From Hibachi to Sushi to Chinese to Thai to the great American hamburger or hot dog to pizza to pasta to steak to chops to chains, you name it, it is here.
