ATLANTA — The Sun Dial Restaurant, Bar & View offers perhaps the best view of Atlanta.
The restaurant sits atop the 73-story Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel and has been spinning guests since it opened in 1978. The Westin was the tallest building in Atlanta until 1987; it is today the fifth-tallest building in Atlanta and the tallest hotel in the Southeast.

The new Rail Crossing Quiet Zones are approved for use in the downtown and trains are no longer required to sound at the Quiet Zone intersections, but residents may expect to hear horns at various times.
