WHAT TO SEE IN LOUSIANA, GEORGIA

Louisiana – New Orleans should come with a warning label. Not about hurricanes, but about the city’s seductive powers, and the never lefts– the people who came for Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, or a convention, fell prey to the city’s magic — and never left. They danced in Frenchmen Street clubs. They kissed in the French Quarter, ate beignets at Café du Monde. Then they ignored their tickets home. They came for a vacation — and never left. You, too, should go, see, hear, and taste for yourself. New Orleans is one of the world’s most fascinating cities. Steeped in a history of influences from Europe the Caribbean, Africa and beyond, it’s home to a truly unique melting pot of culture, food and music.

The park is dotted with flowering bushes and sports water fountains that are meant to be played in. Visit in the middle of the day and you are likely to be treated to a little lunchtime jazz, or perhaps a little reggae, from a live band. Nearby is the Georgia Dome, home of the Atlanta Falcons and venue for many events. If it’s spring or summer, take in a Braves’ ball game at Turner Field. Visit the World of Coca-Cola and visit the Margaret Mitchell home along with the Gone with the Wind Museum. Pay respects at the beautiful Martin Luther King Memorial.
