As often as I have visited relatives who live near Atlanta in the last several years, there are many places I have not seen. But we have been to Helen GA(Solvang CA is much more interesting, IMO) and Stone Mountain, which I absolutely adored.....Of course, I have the most fun shopping at Rich's lol...I was privileged to have been able to shop at their homestore in downtown Atlanta before it closed. Even got in on their closing sale...what fun that was...

A bit of GWTW trivia....Margaret Mitchell included Rich's in the novel and her depiction was accurate as Rich's was founded in 1860...

And I have been to Turner Field though I hate to admit it as I despise Ted Turner. But he did build a great ballpark...

That's one place I will never visit. TT is one reason, but I have also stopped supporting all organized sports for the past ten years. I won't go off on that tangent, though, because it really brings out an ugly side of me! LOL.

Thank-you for the trivia! It's hard to think of something as new and modern as Rich's (they are in all of the malls) as being around in 1860...wow!
