| The Insiders' Guide(r) to Atlanta by Karen Wantuck, Helen Cauley Book Description "The Insiders' Guide to Atlanta" is an outstanding guide to an exciting city. Written by Atlanta authors Helen M. Couley and Karen E Wantuck, this 3rd edition covers everything from sites and shopping to restaurants and accommodations. Couley and Wantuck give in-depth information in a helpful and accessible manner. When, for instance, they discuss Atlanta's marvelous mass transit system, MARTA, they not only give you background material and schedules, they describe an actual ride on MARTA, and tell where the various routes go. They even clue you in on how to take the MARTA from the airport to the city. Fine coverage is also given to the wonderful CNN Center, with its shops, CNN activities, and laudable Italian restaurant, Bugatti, inside the Omni Hotel (which is a part of the Center). You'll also learn lots of neat little facts that only true Atlantans know, e.g., where exactly Buckhead is, what's the difference between Five Points and Little Five Points, and why it's not consider proper to honk your horn in stalled traffic.
