 “I
love Atlanta! Atlanta
is a historic city — the home of the civil
rights movement, The Carter Center and The King Center;
an arts city — from
the High Museum of Art and Atlanta Ballet to the
National Black Arts Festival and the Alliance Theatre;
a sports city — with the Braves, Falcons, Hawks,
and Thrashers; and,
most of all, a caring city — where you can
work, play and raise a family.”
Mayor Shirley Franklin |
