 Atlanta Attractions
The Georgia Aquarium. The World of Coca-Cola. The Margaret Mitchell House. Sure, we’re familiar with these attractions here in the Northside. After all, they’re less than an hour away from our suburban lives. If we wanted to, we could visit them at any time; but do we? Tourists from across the Southeast, the country and even the world visit these attractions during their stays in Atlanta, but many of us in the suburbs have never stepped foot inside. Could it be that we take their proximity for granted? Or that we just don’t see Atlanta, our hometown, as a destination to explore?
