Atlanta has been dubbed everything from the "capital of the new South" and "the next international city" to "the best place to do business." It's also a great place to visit. Fueled by the prosperity of local mega companies like Coca Cola and Holiday Inn, the prestige of hosting the 1996 Summer Olympic Games and the energy of young upwardly mobile types who have migrated to the city in droves - Atlanta is on fire. And this time it's a good thing. From world-class restaurants and a myriad of cultural attractions to a hip nightlife and sporting events galore, the city is cosmopolitan in every sense of the word. But Atlanta has also managed to maintain its historic character. Stop by the Atlanta History Center or visit the Martin Luther King Jr. Historical Site, a moving tribute to an American icon. Browse through the former home of famous author Margaret Mitchell or pop into the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum for details on the life and times of the former president and his family. Whether you choose modern urban endeavors or old southern pleasures, Atlanta will not disappoint.

Variety Playhouse is a great medium-sized venue with good seating and good acoustics. They also have a great drink selection and some basic food choices. If you arrive early there is parking available for a fee behind Variety.

Off-beat and funky neighborhood that offers vintage-clothing shops, sidewalk vendors and street musicians.
You like people watching? Strange little shops? You ever been to Fremont Street in Vegas? Well this is what I think would be the equivalent in the south. Just without the gambling. Plenty of different walks of life. A few shops, bars, and restaurants. All in about a five square block area. The Variety Playhouse is here, which was the Euclid Theater back in the 40's, and it hosts some of the best musicians and bands to come to the Atlanta area. Prices are reasonably cheap too. Check out their calendar when you come down.

My wife and I attended the Clara Barton performance and loved the show. It was a one woman performance and the actress was amazing. She had an excellent voice, terrific presence and moved with grace. The theater was intimate so we were right where the action was, just the way we like it. It's in the Little Five Points part of town which we found fun and funky. We'll go back on our next trip to Atlanta.
