Exploring the New Atlanta

Tell us your favorites

Widely known as "the capital of the New South," bustling, modern Atlanta is a city that constantly redefines itself. Once a sultry antebellum outpost—and then a charred ruin in the wake of General William T. Sherman’s 1864 march to the sea—Atlanta is today a cityscape of glittering high-rise towers (more of which seem to pop up every week), and both a center of world news (CNN is headquartered here) and international business (the city’s airport is the busiest in the country).
