Blog Around The World!
Welcome to all of my Blog Around The World Visitors! (To my readers, I am a featured blog on BATW you can learn more about that here) I will greet you in the way of Georgians – HEY!!!! Why don’t you get comfy and grab a glass of the Champagne of the South that I have waiting here for you. Oh, you say you don’t know what that is – well I will tell you! Coca- Cola is the champagne I am referring to and it is made right here in Atlanta, GA otherwise known as HOTLanta!
I am an Atlantan by way of New York and I love it here. Apparently I am not alone; Atlanta is one of the fastest growing cities in the United States. As a matter of fact we are the 2nd in the nation for total population growth in a metropolitan area.
When visiting Atlanta you can never be bored. There are a host of cultural, educational and just plain fun activities here for you to do. You can visit the The King Center – here you can view exhibits, Dr. King’s birth home and pay your respects to him at his final resting place. Atlanta is also the home of the Carter Center (President Carter is a Georgia native) which is committed to advancing human rights and alleviating unnecessary human suffering. The Margaret Mitchell House and Museum is here – she is the author of Gone With the Wind and tours are offered at her home.
Atlanta is an international city, since 1996 Olympics were held here in Atlanta things have been booming. You can visit the Centennial Olympic Park – it is beautiful! The park area is a hub of activity. In walking distance you have the New World Of Coca-Cola, the Georgia Aquarium (the world’s largest) , and Imagine It! The Children’s Museum.
The High Museum of Art is here and always features great exhibits. Currently the Louve Atlanta is being exhibited and History Remixed –Road to Freedom: Photographs of the Civil Rights Movement 1956-1968 and After 1968: Contemporary Artists and The Civil Rights Legacy. The First Emperor China’s Terracotta Army will be visiting us from November until April next year.
Atlanta is also home to the Fox Theater, the Woodruff Arts Center, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Stone Mountain Park, and Six Flags Over Georgia. I can go on and on. Plan a visit to Atlanta, I assure you that you won’t be disappointed. In the meanwhile have a look around my blog – check out my Do Something post and some of my featured posts on the right sidebar. I hope that you enjoy a brief view into my world here in the ATL.

Welcome to India.
Enjoy your BATW day.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again... I LOVE your diaper cakes. They are the coolest ones I've ever seen!
(visiting via BATW from L.A.)
Greetings from Idaho. Where there is....nothing. ;)
Thanks for the wonderful Tour,and I too love looking at your awesome diaper cakes *smile* I will be back to read more.
BTW, your diaper cakes are adorable!
And those cakes are too cute :)
I am glad you like it here in Atlanta. I've been here since 1991 and it's still just okay. I am a Jersery girl at heart, but I am moving to Florida as soon as I can sell my houses and get the money to move.
Love your cakes... definitely gonna check those out, my sister is pregnant!
never been to Atlanta, eventhough i distant relatives that live inthe vicinity. thanks for showing off your beautiful state!

Great site and great cakes!
My favorite part is visiting the Coke factory/museum.
Thanks for sharing your city!
i'll be back, though.
Have you been lurking around in my mind Renee?? =)
Btw - Don't know if you saw it, but they highlighted the Nie Nie Blog on the Today show this morning! I guess they've raised over $100K for the family. Pretty amazing!
And Underground.
Beautiful diaper cakes!
Enjoy your BATW day!
So tell me,
Are your pecans really better than others and is the same true for peaches?
Sounds like a wonderful place with lots of cultural attractions.
I've enjoyed your Georgia presentation...I don't reckon I'll be traveling south anytime soon. But, if I do, I'll give you a holler, have some diet 'champagne' waiting for me! :)
My aunt and uncle live outside of Atlanta, so over the years I've been to a few of the things Atlanta/the Atlanta area has to offer...the Coke museum (I got so sick after sampling all those soft drinks!), The Varsity, Stone Mountain, etc. I haven't been there in awhile, though.
Love your diaper cakes! Very creative!
You make Atlanta look so enticing! I'm a native New Yorker myself, Brooklyn, NY that is. I've been living in Atlanta for a very, very long time and I gotta tell you. . . this post has awakened my love for the place.
We've got to plan a get-together, soon!
