   Cabbagetown Mural

   The wall along Wylie Avenue, on the south side of the Krog Street Tunnel in Atlanta's Cabbagetown and Reynoldstown neighborhoods, has long been a canvas for public art, graffiti and tags both petty and artful. Late last year, someone with an airbrush came in (on whose dime I don't know) and painted a holiday mural at the mouth of the Krog Tunnel, letting everyone know that this was, in fact, a place for public art (both good and bad), and that the local neighborhood was embracing the space.

   Krog Street Tunnel

   The Krog Street tunnel traverses four distinct and lively Atlanta neighborhoods — Cabbagetown, Reynoldstown, Inman Park, and Old Fourth Ward — but it's more than a way to cross (under) the tracks. It's also a de facto public art gallery sporting stencil logos, exquisite tags and graffiti, activist art, posters and ads for local bands, hand-crafted art objects (like a recent memorial shrine to Evel Knievel), a holiday-themed community mural, and any other kind of street art the locals choose to share.

3. 

   Cedar House Inn

   Located about an hour north of Atlanta lies a secluded B&B just outside the city of Dahlonega in Northern Georgia. What distinguishes this from your traditional bed & breakfast is that you have the option to stay in a yurt.

4. 

   Turner Field

   Turner Field, or "The Ted," is the home stadium of MLB team, The Atlanta Braves.
