Visit Atlantic Station in the downtown area, parking is a few dollars. But they have shops and eating places. AND it's tax free weekend here.

It's an outdoor shopping area. They have places to sit and people watch. It's off of I-85 in downtown. I'm sure there are other things but I'm
in Athens, so I don't get to visit much.

There's the aquarium but tix are around $20 each, Coca-Cola factory, Centennial Olympic Park, CNN Center.
Atlantic Station is pretty cool, its on 17th street and its got an H&M so people are pretty excited about that, lol. |

It's not so much a factory. More of a museum with historical coke products, collectibles, commercials, etc, . They show you how it's made, and you can
taste different coke products from all over the world. It's directly across from the aquarium if you're doing that also.

The Color Purple is on tour at the Fox Theatre right now. The cheapest ticket is $30.

I just got back from Atlanta yesterday from a vacation. In fact we went to the aquarium the other day and it was $27. Everyone down there raves about it but I
wasn't impressed
 (then again I've been to several and they all
seem the same to me). The whale sharks were pretty cool though.

Go shopping! I mean there are some cool things to do that aren't terribly expensive, like the zoo, the aquarium, taking in dinner and a show, etc. but they
aren't free either.
