Getting to Know AtlantaAs soon as you know you're going to Atlanta, write or call the Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau (ACVB), 233 Peachtree St. NE, Ste. 2000, Atlanta, GA 30303 (tel. 800/ATLANTA [285-2682] or 404/222-6688). They'll send you a copy of Atlanta Heritage Guide, a visitors' guide, a book of discount coupons, a Metro Atlanta Map and Attractions Guide, and a 2-month calendar of events; they can also advise you on anything from Atlanta's hotel and restaurant scene to the best tour packages available. Visit the ACVB website at www.atlanta.net for lots of information. You can also learn a lot about the city and its latest happenings by visiting www.AccessAtlanta.com, a website whose partners include the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and WSB-TV and radio.
