Atlanta Travel Guide

ATLANTA WEATHER

Atlanta can be a daunting city to visit.

For starters, it’s enormous, especially when considering the entire metropolitan region. Visitors will likely need a car, and the summers can be hot.

As a result, for many people, Atlanta is merely a connection point on a flight, rather than a destination. Not surprising, considering transportation led to the creation of Atlanta, a city not situated on a river or a significant body of water.

The city’s location was selected because it was at the end of a major rail line (hence the city’s original name: Terminus). But the city has a great history.

From the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement to the 1996 Summer Olympics, the “Gate City” has always found itself at the forefront of global events. Despite its size and geographic footprint, it is possible to take in the city’s must-see attractions over a long weekend or a few short days, but visitors can explore it for as long as they would like.

Perhaps best of all, it’s home to incredible food.

Chris Hall, Todd Mussman, and Ryan Turner, the brains behind Local Three Kitchen and Bar, first met in 2005. At the time, Hall was a chef at Sundial restaurant, while Mussman and Turner had just opened Muss & Turner’s in Smyrna.

They soon developed the idea for Local Three.

Initially, they planned to open in 2008 in the Medici building across from their current location. However, the recession caused the government to seize the building, and progress halted. Over the next few years, the trio searched for a new space and eventually took over Joel Brasserie, formerly Joel Restaurant, in 2010.

With the help of local architects Ai3 and Tracy Hartley, they spent the summer and fall renovating the dining room. Local Three opened in December 2010 and has consistently ranked as one of the best restaurants in Atlanta, serving fresh food and boasting a top-notch bourbon bar.
