Last November, I spent a few days visiting Atlanta. Although most of my trips to the US are business- or volunteer-related, this one was purely for vacation. I saw quite a few sites while there: the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site, First Baptist Church (where Charles Stanley preaches), the Atlanta Aquarium, the Atlanta History Center, and the first-ever Chick-fil-A restaurant.
The MLK site was definitely the best historical place that I visited. However, the best touristy site was the World of Coca-Cola. Although most of the site acts like a never-ending advertisement for Coke, the most famous exhibit is the Taste It! room, where you can sample dozens of Coke products from around the world. Of course, I had to had to try each one out.
