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.

I have visited Atlanta many times now since 2011, and Blind Willie;s is the place I go to feel the healing power of the blues. The staff does and great job, and now that the venue is non-smoking, I can recommend this spot for all. If you have never experienced the blues, welcome to the party at this stellar location in Virginia Highlands. Drinks are reasonable, the Shadows are one of the best blues bands around, and there is food, tho I prefer to eat a bit earlier in the evening. Stay for all the sets, you will be glad you did. I enjoy the bourbon flight option myself
