Atlanta's Top 7 Memorial Day Getaways

Atlanta’s Top 7 Memorial Day Getaways

From natural wonders to the thrills of a(nother) big city, there are a few ways to take advantage of your long weekend.

Memorial Day is awesome. It’s the start(ish) of summer, and you get three days off: the official first chance on the calendar to get out and have a little fun. There are no shortage of activities within the city limits to keep you occupied, but should a change of climate be something you’re after, a whole weekend of fun can be found within a few hours of town, whether you want to get back to the great outdoors, chill out in a sleepy town, or party the night away in some rip-roaring honky-tonk. Here are our top recommendations for exploring the region.

Atlanta Summer Festival Guide

The Atlanta Summer Festival Guide

Pick a weekend. Chances are, there’s something fun to do in Atlanta. Embrace the heat.

The weather may be hot, but there are more than enough cool opportunities to get outside during the months of June, July, and August. Summer festival season is a favorite in Atlanta, and seldom does a weekend go by without something going on, somewhere in the city. So charge up your Breeze Card, hop on a train, and get dropped off in the heart of where the action is.

48 Hours in Atlanta

48 Hours in Atlanta

So, we’ve got the busiest airport in the world, in case you didn’t know (there’s an old saying in the South: “When you die, no matter if you’re going to heaven or hell, you’ve gotta go through ATL first.”)

Anyway, it’s entirely possible you’ll find yourself with a layover. We know you’re busy and all, but Atlanta is way more than a fly-through city. If you get a wild hair sometime, why not arrange your flying plans around a two-day stint in A-Town? We promise, there’s more than enough to do. Not to be presumptuous, but would you mind if we helped you out with your itinerary?

Scary Accurate Predictions from 1993

Watch this video – you will get a kick out of this:

 

“…And the company that’ll bring it to you: AT&T”

Well, AT&T did help transport the 1?s and 0?s on their fiber optic lines.  But… AT&T didn’t bring us these things.

They didn’t cash in. They imploded.  Google, Motorola, Skype, Paypal and Apple brought us these things, and cashed in.

Question for you ::

What technologies are we going to have in 2033?

Do you think they will be brought to us by… Google, Motorola, Skype, Paypal and Apple?

Or will it be a new crop of companies nobody’s ever heard of?

Post your comment below.  Have a great weekend.
