ATLANTA
is a relatively young city: only incorporated in 1847, it was little more than a minor transportation center until the Civil War, when its accessibility made it a good site for the huge Confederacy munitions industry and consequently a major target for the Union army. In 1864 Sherman's army
burned
the city, an act immortalized in Gone with the Wind . Recovery after the war took just a few years: Atlanta was the archetype of the aggressive, urban, industrial ''New South,'' furiously championed by ''
boosters
'' newspaper owners, bankers, politicians and city leaders. Industrial giants who based themselves here included
Coca-Cola
, source of a string of philanthropic gifts to the city.
Arrival And Information :
The colossal
Hartsfield International Airport
(tel 404/530-6600), the busiest passenger airport in the US, is ten miles south of downtown Atlanta, just inside I-285 ("the perimeter"). Road
shuttle
services such as the Atlanta Airport Shuttle (daily every 15-20min 7am-11pm; tel 404/524-3400) run into the city for around $14, $22 round-trip good for thirty days, or a little more to get to Buckhead. The airport is also the southern terminus of the south line of the
subway
, fifteen minutes' ride from downtown ($1.75). If you need a
taxi
to get downtown, call Checker Cab ($18 for one passenger, $19 between two, $24 for three or more; tel 404/351-1111). The Amtrak station, at 1688 Peachtree St, is too far north of downtown to walk to: take a taxi or bus #23 to the Arts Center subway stop, N5 on the northern line. Greyhound
buses
arrive south of downtown at 232 Forsyth St, near the Garnett Street subway station. More Atlanta information...
