Coca Cola is based here. I took a tour (which I had to pay for) The tour was boring, but it was really cool to taste different Cokes and drinks from around the world

I can’t say I’m a great fan of Atlanta. Downtown seems pretty ghetto, and the Coke museum is a pretty crappy tourist attraction (aside from the tasting room). Atlanta’s economy has boomed, but it seems like all the actions in the suburbs.

Big city and somewhat difficult to get around without a car. A bit too much sprawl for me. I really like the hot climate
