The O.G. Atlanta Brave

Advantages: Some decent tracks
Disadvantages: Notihng special

...?The Diary Of An ATL Brave? came as a mixtape from the Atlanta-based rapper Donnis in summer 2009. You get the artist backed by Mick Boogie and DJ Benzi, who host, as he comes through with some material that is designed to move away from the general sounds of the Dirty South and the Hip Hop that is based in Gangsta Rap as he does things in the Hipster Rap format (and so can be likened to the fellow Georgian Bobby Ray (formerly known as B.o.B.). 1. ?Beginnings? (Intro) 2. ?Underdog? As he gets down to things here with the first proper cut on the mixtape, here you find that he comes in with a heavy joint that gets him ridging some funky beats (the kind of things that seem to have been neglected from the Southern Rap scene for some time) as he shows how he can bring Hip hop back with this kind of thing and does well to show this through...

Review of The Diary Of An Atlanta Brave - Donnis

Atlanta: Metroplitan city of the South

Advantages: Great weather, lots of trees, culture diversity, nice houses and affordable
Disadvantages: Over speeding on highways, can get pretty dry atimes

...For some of you looking to settle down in a city that is metropolitan and yet affordable, then this is one option you shouldn't overlook. Normally, we think of cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and the rest as real metro cities and true they are. But Atlanta, not having perhaps half of the skyscrapers these other cities have is a big contender for the person that wants to have a bit of both urban and sub-urban worlds in one city. My first surprise was when we were approaching touch down. there being so much haze in the air I could not see the city skyline from a distance, but what was the real surprise was the amount of forest scattered across the city. Yes forest, not just trees. Atlanta is a heavily wooded city. It's a bit hard to describe cos I've not encountered a city with so much greenery. The airport is said to be...

Atlanta-The untouched city

Advantages: unspoilt
Disadvantages: Heat

...When you think of America, the obvious places to go are Boston, Florida and New York, however there is now a city that can challenge these and that is Atlanta, Unspoilt by tourism as yet they provide all the essentials, shopping Malls, Outlet centres and excellent restaurants. The best value for money is places like the Jimmy Carter Presidential Centre it is a must for all people old and young and at $5 excellent value for money, here you can trace Carter's rise from peanut farmer to President through pictures articles and video, there is also a replica of the Oval Office. You will also see gifts from other coutries leaders and after you have finished, you can take a stroll around the Japenese Gardens or have a drink in the restaurant. Other musts are a tour of CNN studios at $6 and the World of Coca Cola at $12 here you get to sample...

Review of Atlanta

Sink your teeth into this peach!

Advantages: great fun, historical and vibrant city
Disadvantages: if you can't handle humid weather it might not be the best place for you

...Atlanta is a vibrant metropolitan city in the heart of the American south. As it is a Delta hub the airport gives flight options to and from many different places. After living there for many years I thought I would share some of my knowledge on places to go, things to see and bits of information should you find yourself visiting. Whilst travelling around the city you will no doubt notice all the roads with different forms of Peachtree in them. Peachtree Battle, Peachtree Road, Peachtree Industrial and so many more. The root of this is that Atlanta started of as a Native American village called Standing Peachtree. The village was sold on to settlers by the Cherokees in 1822. Not long after this sale the building of the Western & Atlantic Railroad commenced and during this time the remaining Cherokees were forced to move. During...

Review of Atlanta

A Northerner In The Deep South

Advantages: Great climate, well laid out city, stuff to see and do all year round
Disadvantages: Not the busiest city in terms of museums to see and places to visit

...Cheap flights and the promise of all-you-can-drink Coca Cola lured me to Atlanta, and while not necessarily the best 2 reasons to visit a place, my trip turned out to be good. Georgia is one of the southern states, and Atlanta a southern city in such a state. This means 2 things: hot summer weather, and laid back, friendly natives. While you can't often sum up an entire city's climate or population in such a way, it definitely seemed true here. I flew into Atlanta, crossed the airport and hopped aboard one of their overland / underground MARTA trains. Within minutes I was entering the center, and less than a quarter of an hour later I had crossed the city and was making my way to the High Museum of Art. This reminded me of a cross between the Guggenheim and the British Museum - funny shaped "artistic" architecture, lots of Ancient...

Review of Atlanta

Three for the price of one

Advantages: American lifestyle
Disadvantages: You'll put on weight rapidly

..."If you can't find it here, it won't be anywhere else!"(Said with American accent) Atlanta is a mecca for shopaholics. There are shopping malls all over the place. One of the biggest malls, Lenox Square Mall, has about 300 shops under one roof. Most worldwide famous brands are represented here. I found the prices in Atlanta generally cheaper than the UK. A chart CD album, for example, was only $12.99. That is another evidence that Britain really is rip-off Britain. Atlanta also has one of the most vibrant restaurant scenes in America. With so many fine restaurants featuring novel recipes, you are spoilt for choice. We dined in a huge restaurant called Cheese Factory one evening. I ordered a special American dish consisting fired chicken and pasta with orange sauce. I could not believe my eyes when my meal arrived. The generous portions...

Atlanta - Processing passengers after 9/11

Advantages: Great hub if travelling by Delta.
Disadvantages: A little chaotic.

...keep America safe! 6. Despite the fact that you were given this paperwork on the plane some 6 hours before, a significant number of your fellow travellers will only remember to do this when they get to the immigration desk!!! Stay calm at all times - your primal instinct will be to go berserk and bash people around you to death with your bag of duty free goods. 7. Also, there are no cheerful immigration officers. Do not try and crack a joke or even a smile at these guys. They look at you like you ticked a yes for all the questions on the green form... 8. Finally, you are through to the next round of this bizarre game. Time to collect your baggage. It is probably appropriate to explain that Atlanta airport is built in a very modular way. The entrance to the airport from outside is via terminal T and you arrive in terminal E...

Review of Atlanta, USA (ATL)

A wonderfully different holiday location

Advantages: A great city to visit with all the mod-cons that you'd expect
Disadvantages: Occasionally high traffic levels

...Atlanta has been described as ?the Los Angeles of the South?. Such a comment is grossly unfair to a wonderful city. Atlanta was the host of the Summer Olympics in 1996 and because of this the city is still enjoying a boom, as well as an immense showing of civic pride. As well as the Olympics the Super Bowl has become a regular visitor to the city, which has also played host to Baseball?s all-star game. There are a number of excellent facilities to host such events, but even without them Atlanta would still be a charming city. One thing I really liked as an Olympic legacy was Centennial Olympic Park, right smack in the centre of the city. A nice, tranquil green area, the fact it is so consistently quiet is surprising. Yet it became one of my favourite areas upon visiting, especially as it was in the middle of a hot July...

Review of Atlanta

Motorola, One, Scientific Atlanta NIL

Advantages: Just sits there and works properly
Disadvantages: Still quite intrusive, size-wise

...efforts to screw down my problem, I was still getting cut-offs, albeit not so frequently. Having now built up a rapport with the Telewest engineer, by plying with Diet Coke or tea, depending on the weather, I gleaned the fact that the cable modem that they had given me, a Scientific Atlanta job, wasn?t, and I?m using my words here, exactly the best bit of kit he?d ever seen. However, on the basis of ?make one swap-out at a time, preferably starting with the cheapest?, he opted to change my NIC, the network interface card in my PC. I should explain to non-broadband users. Because there is no-dial up process, your PC, is for all intents and purposes on a Local Area Network like lots of offices have, 24 hours a day, albeit this LAN is a shared one. Therefore, the PC hardware needs to be the same as for an office LAN, i.e. a network card...

Review of Motorola SURFboard SB4200 Cable Modem

Vibrant!

Advantages: A great place, warm weather, great for shopping.
Disadvantages: May be too hot for some.

...The city of Atlanta is a great place to spend a vacation. If you want to experience life in a big city, but can't cope with the crime and sheer size of places like New York or Los Angeles, Atlanta is perfect. The population is very sizeable, and the city is very warm in the summer! Usually 100 degrees, and quite humid. I personally enjoyed this very much. Atlanta is the home of Coca Cola and CNN, and you can get tours of their magnificent buildings. At CNN you not only get to tour the news rooms, but also you have the chance of appearing live on TV on the talk show Talkback Live (remember to book tickets in advance by calling up CNN). The people are warm and friendly - it's a vibrant community, with many different types of people. Shopping is second only to New York with Lenox Square Mall, Phipps Plaza and such places. Also...
