Atlanta & Savannah Travel Guide: Attractions, Eating, Drinking, Shopping & Places to Stay Adam Holt

Publisher Marketing: Atlanta is the capital of Georgia and the state's largest city. In the 1960s, during the civil rights movement, Atlanta was dubbed the city too busy to hate. Nowadays it is known as the city too busy to care and Atlanta stands tall as one of America's most modern and liveable cities. Beautiful, friendly and full of history, the city of Savannah, Georgia is famous for its role in the American Civil War. One of Savannah's squares forms the backdrop to the movie Forest Gump and its scenery and colorful cast of eccentrics liven the passages of the book Midnight at the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt.
