Historical Site, a moving tribute to an American icon. Stop by the Atlanta History Center or visit the Martin Luther King Jr. But Atlanta has also managed to maintain its historic character. From world-class restaurants and a myriad of cultural attractions to a hip nightlife and sporting events galore, the city is cosmopolitan in every sense of the word. Fueled by the prosperity of local mega companies like Coca Cola and Holiday Inn, the prestige of hosting the 1996 Summer Olympic Games and the energy of young upwardly mobile types who have migrated to the city in droves - Atlanta is on fire. Atlanta has been dubbed everything from the 'capital of the new South' and 'the next international city' to 'the best place to do business.' It's also a great place to visit.
