& The list goes on.....

But do you really know Atlanta? 

Journey with me as I explore the "Best of Atlanta" and its outliers. 

It's going to be fun. 

Here's what I have on my list so far: 

Atlanta Beltline &  Ponce City Market & Krogg St. Market 

High Museum of Art 

Atlantic Station 

The Parks of Atlanta --- Piedmont, Freedom, etc. 

Top Golf

Decatur Edition: Candler Rd. (my ends)  & Decatur Beach Party 

Stone Mountain Edition: Stone Mountain Park 

Athens Edition: AthFest

Civil & Human Rights Museum 

Coca-Cola World 

Georgia Aquarium 
Underground Atlanta

Centennial Olympic Park 

N. Highland Avenue 

Fox Theatre 

Little 5 points & Edgewood Plaza - personal fav. 

The Universities - Georgia State, Emory, Georgia Tech

Auburn Avenue 

As one can see, these are the blatantly obvious attractions of Atlanta, with some anomalies/special events here and there. 

My goal, though, is to find some hidden gems within or around these locations/at these special events. Of course, food places would be the most easy hidden gems to discuss in the posts, but  I look forward to sharing art as well.


The first post regarding the Atlanta Beltline is my most favorite. With it being the pioneer post, I will be pouring my heart and soul & putting my best creativity into it. All the other posts can fall by the wayside (I'm only joking.) 

                   Seriously though, the Atlanta Beltline is my favorite attraction so far. 

Stay tuned to see why....

Yeen Know?*

Atlanta is actually the state of Georgia's 5th capital. Savannah, Augusta, Louisville, and Milledgeville once held the titles. 

*Yeen Know - Black argot for "You Didn't Know?". I will be using this phrase for my "did you know"'s, just to stay true to the 'atlanta' I know :)
