 By Pam Bruno: Georgia is one of the original 13 colonies, and Savannah is one of the first planned cities in Georgia. Atlanta, the present capital and the largest city in Georgia today, was a major center for the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement. It is the birthplace and final resting place of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and his birth home is a National Historic Site. “Hotlanta” is also home to Underground Atlanta (a historic collection of shops and clubs), the Atlanta Opera, the world’s largest aquarium, and the Woodruff Arts Center, which includes the Alliance Theater, the Atlanta Symphony, and the High Museum of Art. For something different, travel to Northwest Georgia’s Rock City. From Lookout Mountain there is a breathtaking view of seven states, including Kentucky and Virginia, as far as 120 miles away. Go!
