Despite the plain cover, the enthusiasm suggested in the title of this guide is not overstated. Atlanta has a surprising array of activities for tourists and business travelers, and resident travel writer Ann Carroll Burgess does a terrific job filling you in on where to go and why, as well as where to stay and eat. Atlanta is a city that has renewed itself many times--most recently spiffing itself up for the 1996 Olympics--and combines the best of the past and the present, with some controversy thrown in for good measure. Top attractions include the Margaret Mitchell House and Gone with the Wind Museum, Atlanta's major sports teams, CNN studio tours, the Martin Luther King, Jr. historic district, Zoo Atlanta, walking tours of historic neighborhoods, and a plethora of museums dedicated to the arts and history. Trees of Atlanta, a nonprofit group, has ensured that the city set within a forest stays green and that there are plenty of parks to enjoy. Burgess also fills you in on shopping spots, from vintage and consignment clothing to antiques and rarities (and, of course, malls). And when you're done, you can hit the spas for some pampering. After dark, the cultural capital of the South has plenty of bars, dance and jazz clubs, and performance arts, from ballet to theater. Burgess fills you in, month by month, on the city's special events and holiday celebrations, such as the Civil War Relic Show, King Week Celebration, and the best spots to ring in the new year. Beyond Atlanta, she also gives suggestions for day trips to such places as Six Flags over Georgia, an amusement park, and Stone Mountain, in which the faces of Jefferson Davis, Stonewall Jackson, and Robert E. Lee have been carved. Atlanta is one of the three top cities in the country for convention destinations, which means there are lots of hotels and lots of competition for them. Burgess provides good descriptions of the hotels and also reviews the city's restaurants, with tips on what's best on the menu. With its insider descriptions, excellent maps, and tips for avoiding such aggravations as traffic and jaywalkers, Burgess's guide is a smart, detailed, and lively companion for your trip. --Lesley Reed
