Anyone know anything good around Atlanta

Helen, GA is a German style village in the north part of the state and is replay pretty cool. Stone Mountain does either fireworks or a laser light show at night in the summer, plus it’s a decent hike.

Dammit!!! You beat me to it!!

"What'll ya have!"

My first wife's older sister is married to an Atlanta broadcasting legend, former NBC reporter Kenley Jones.
He used to go fishing all the time with his buddy Tom Brokaw.
When Linda took me down to Atlanta to meet the fam I got the super-deluxe tour of all of it, including The Varsity Grill.

I learned about the Varsity from Lewis Grizzard, an old humor columnist from the AJC. He's been gone for many years, but I still love reading his old columns.

Oh, and Check - (put in spoiler tags to not deflect from the thread)

I haven't gotten back to you yet on that other issue because I had to order a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable, to hook the camera up to the PC. Seems to record really well, but I can't verify that it records without the info on the screen until I can actually hook it up to the computer. And both the Nikon and the Canon both have recording capability in 1080p, and our friend, we believe, has a switcher. We may get out of this with only a $10 cable from Amazon.

Helen is a lot of fun. Cool place to be, and when you first start to go up that final leg to Helen, there's a fabulous little coffee shop on the left, sitting in a copse of trees.

Stone Mountain is of a singular taste. I would not go there personally - too much Confederate yeehaw bullshit - but some people like it.

There’s a great golf course in Helen that I got to play once and would love to go back.

The aquarium is OK, maybe catch a Braves game. One thing you don't want to miss is The Varsity. It's a little drive-in type restaurant near Georgia Tech, and it has the best chili dawgs on the planet.

Almost forgot, Plains, GA is a few hours south and the home of Jimmy Carter. It’s a small town but kind of interesting in a presidential history kind of way to see where a former President got his start.

Have you been to the Buford Highway Farmers Market? THAT PLACE IS AMAZING.

Yes, but it's been 15 years or so. Glad to hear it's still around.
 
45 bucks after taxes, but ticket bought I'll be there Saturday at the Aquarium, and maybe for lunch try that Varsity place :) Thank you all.

my one try at the varsity was disappointing
how difficult it must be to ruin a damned hot dog ... but that place managed to do so. school lunch room fare was better

however, Antico pizza was great. try it if you get the chance
