I used to have family there, but haven't been in maybe 20 years. I recently found out that Atlanta also is one of the most congested commutes in the US.
Actually there are a couple of things worth seeing there: Stone Mountain and the Cyclorama. You may know about the former, which is the Mount Rushmore of the confederacy; the latter is a huge painting in a round building with a diorama in front of it showing scenes of the Civil War. It's 19th century high tech, and there are a few spots where it is impossible to tell where the diorama ends and the painting starts.
