So you have hit up most of the tourist traps. How are you liking living in Atlanta so far?

We recently went to Oakland Cemetery and did a Clue Town Books scavenger hunt. It was a lot of fun. I go to the cemetery a lot to walk my dog, but this hunt allowed me to discover some things which I hadn't seen before. We also have their Beltline scavenger hunt book, but we haven't done that one yet.

The Clermount Lounge is probably #1.

On that subject, is there anything really unusual like Clermont, that is a very uniquely Atlanta thing. Always curious if people have found things that didn't know about that are very much unusual to ATL?

I've looked around a bit and heard about Babyland General Hospital up north and Helen, but curious more directly in ATL.

Unique to Atlanta? Sure: the Varsity, Stone Mountain, High Museum of Art and many other places. But other cities have museums, you might say. Yes, but you cannot see the same artwork at the Met as you can see at the High. So, it's unique in that sense. Underground Atlanta - say what you may about it - is unique to Atlanta (as far as I know). The Atlanta History Center is uniquely Atlanta. Our tree canopied streets are fairly unique to Atlanta. I suppose most things we share with other cities, which is par for the course. But look around a bit - you might find Oakland Cemetery unique.
