Chris was my tour guide for this 3-hour tour, "From the Civil War to Civil Rights" (it was not on the list to choose from, just the VIP tour, which I did NOT do.)
I've lived in Metro Atlanta for 28 years and, other than for some events, have rarely been downtown. Some of the things that Chris showed me had been there prior to that, but I wasn't even aware of them (like Ansley Park right behind Peachtree Street.)
I was also not aware of Cabbage Town, Inman Park, and the Krog Street Tunnel, nor had I been to Little Five Points before. In fact, I didn't even know there was a regular Five Points and a Little Five Points!
There were many new buildings and areas I had not realized had changed so significantly. A lot of new structures were present. There were many areas I had previously visited, and the new construction amazed me.
Because of the weather (cold and rainy), we stayed in the car, and Chris drove to extra locations including Atlanta Station and he explained about its history. Since I live here, I can always revisit places that interested me.
Altogether a great way to discover more of the local area I live in.
