Welcome to Atlanta, Georgia

Welcome to Atlanta, Georgia, the "peach" of the USA.

When people think of Atlanta, probably the first image that comes to mind is that of Gone With The Wind, a far cry from today's modern metropolis.  Atlanta is also famous as the epicenter of Martin Luther King's civil rights crusades of the 1960s.

Atlanta has just about anything a big city can offer, from bowling to baseball - any Braves fans reading this? - and from the modern subway to modern traffic jams - any Atlantans braving traffic? 

Before delving into what's happening in Atlanta and websites that provide more Atlanta-related information, let's begin with the map of Atlanta, so we don't get too lost.

Next, let's hop over to the official City of Atlanta website, where we can find out about all the government services.
