In the shadow of downtown, this bucolic expanse is a constant reminder of the city's history. Dating from the 1850s, the cemetery was the final destination for all Atlantans until 1884, when private burial grounds began appearing throughout the city. The oldest section is near the main entrance, where legendary golfer Bobby Jones and author Margaret Mitchell are interred, although locating Mitchell's plain headstone can be a challenge. A brochure from the cemetery office will help you find famous graves and interesting sections. Tours are offered March through October. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Built as a multi-use facility for the 1996 Olympics, the stadium houses The Braves Museum as well as several restaurants, which range from the elegant Chop House to traditional concession stands. Stop by at Scouts Alley, which has a whole load of interactive games. Come out and be surrounded by the smell of hot boiled peanuts and the terrifying battle cry of the "Tomahawk Chop." Tours of the stadium complex are available both during the season and off-season. Review © 2007, Wcities |
