    Mike,

    Could you PM some information on the school?

    Atlanta can't be any hotter or more humid than Mississippi!

    If you think Atlanta stinks, don't go to the Big Easy when the river is low!

    Nothing stinks worse than the combination of a big city and fetid river mud drying in the broiling sun with humidity near 100%.

    PUUUUUUUUGH!!!!!!!!!!

    Jersey is the real stinker. I'll never set foot in Jersey again. Phew!

    And I have lived in Washington state... I'll never forget the Tacoma Aroma.

    Big Easy stinks because every day over a million tons of raw sewage gets dumped into that water. And yeah, all that raw sewage rotting in the sun when the water is low is just plain NASTY!!

    Lol I forgot my log in name, as I haven't had to type it in for a few months now. Jersey isnt too bad once you leave the Highways. Going to LaGuardia though...

    Great info! I am going to be in Atlanta for a training class from June 4-10, any suggestions on places to visit, etc? I will have a rental car, and am staying in downtown.

    Also, please PM me with the information you mentioned. My son is looking for a job right now.

    After all this time living in Athens, GA, my only real conclusion about Atlanta is that, in general, it is one crap city...... (very homogeneous and 'white-bread')

    If you are young, it can be a very fun town - lots of bars and clubs and what-not.....

    I guess it depends on what you want to do... The Botanical Gardens are outstanding, the High Museum, however, can be missed..... There are some decent restaurants, at least, due mostly to its size.... The Ren Fair Mike mentioned closes June 5th, I believe... There is interesting 'Night-Life' in the Buckhead neighborhood.... You could always catch a Braves game.... You will just miss the Music Midtown festival.... For a short trip, you could check out Stone Mountain - the site of the Stone Mountain Games (but they aren't until October)..... Oh, and the world famous Cheetah "Adult" lounge - I have heard stories, but that isn't my kind of thing....

    The Ren Fest should be happening that weekend. South of Atlanta.

    Stone Mountain Park has a few things to do but mostly it's just a nice walk up the "Big Rock". Great view from the top. East of Atlanta.

    Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield is great if you like Civil War history. Lots of trails. North Atlanta

    Buckhead is the nightlife district. Northside.

    Downtown has a bit of everything. The World of Coke is interesting for an hour or two, Underground Atlanta is OK, Centennial Olympic Park, and a few other sites. Might even be able to pick up tickets to a Braves game.
