- Atlanta, Georgia - Giant Bronze-colored Fish
I like a tall tale as much as the next person, but I feel its important to present the facts to the public. The giant fish [reported in Georgia tips] is only 65 ft tall and is only bronze colored. For any of you that feel this correction takes the shine off of the this glorious monument, if you wait until christmas, it is festively adorned with a giant santa hat.

- Atlanta, Georgia - Giant Bronze Fish
Outside the Atlanta Fish Market restaurant on Pharr Road in Buckhead they have a 80 foot high bronze fish that comes up out of a fountain and really is pretty cool enough to get a mention on your page.

When you enter the New World of Coca Cola building, you're welcomed with a mini can of Coke, then ushered through the double doors to start your self-guided tour. We had a great time and took lots of pictures. The tour lasted about an hour and a half.
[Bordeauxbarb, 03/14/2019]- Atlanta, Georgia - World of Coca Cola
It must be noted that there is a hefty admission fee. $16 when I went in May of 2015. I have a very high tolerance for the absurdly sublime, and I love cheesy weird things. But for me this was like paying $16 for a walk through an infomercial. It wasn't "so bad it was good;" it was simply bad, even offensive.
[Loretta P, 05/12/2015]The marketing cheese is more pungent in the New World of Coca-Cola than it was in its predecessor, the old World of Coca Cola (Although for its time the old World was pretty pungent, too).
