The Georgia Aquarium is a public aquarium in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. It houses more than a hundred thousand animals and represents several thousand species, all of which reside in 10 million US gallons of marine and salt water. It was the largest aquarium in the world from its opening in 2005 until 2012, when it was surpassed by Marine Life Park in Singapore. Businessman Bernard Marcus credits his 60th birthday dinner, held at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, with inspiring him to build a great aquarium for Atlanta; his subsequent $250 million donation provided the bulk of the money needed to build and stock the new facility. The Aquarium's notable specimens include whale sharks, beluga whales, California sea lions, bottlenose dolphins, and manta rays. Oakdale Park was opened by Cobb County Parks Department in the fall of 2007. It is located on Atlanta Road at the intersection of Daniel Street, which is just north of the Atlanta Road/Cumberland Parkway intersection.Oakdale Park also serves as a trailhead for the Cumberland Connector, which is an extension of the Silver Comet Trail. The park is divided into two playgrounds, one is for toddlers/beginning walkers (infant-3yr olds) and includes a swingset with bucket seats (early crawlers). The other side of the playground has more advanced playground equipment. Six Flags Over Georgia is a 290-acre theme park located west of Atlanta in Cobb County, Georgia, United States. Featuring characters and themes from a variety of Warner Bros. properties such as Looney Tunes and DC Comics, the park opened to the public in 1967 as the second of three theme parks built by Six Flags. It features ten roller coasters, including top-ranked Mind Bender and Goliath that have been recognized annually by Amusement Today, and over 30 other rides, shows, and attractions. Hurricane Harbor, a 7-acre water park included in the price of admission to the amusement park, was added in 2014. Night Life. Ronnie Kent has been an executive escort for a long time. She knows the lines, the moves, and she definitely knows better than to fall for a client. But when she's hired for a night with the gorgeous, mysterious Diana Silver, her professionalism can't hold a candle to the heat between them. Diana Silver is already overworked and undervalued by her wealthy parents, and now they're pressuring her to date a "suitable" colleague. Hiring an escort would never have occurred to her, but when her best friend treats her to a relaxing night with Ronnie, sparks fly. Diana hires Ronnie again. And again. Soon, the women don't have an arrangement so much as a full-blown affair. But money can't buy everything, and Ronnie can't risk blurring the lines between personal and professional, no matter the reward. It'll take more than a healthy paycheck to turn their steamy nights into a life together — and if they try, it could cost them everything. 13 Local Foods You Need to Try in Atlanta. Atlanta — the city and the show — has a love affair with chicken wings. And while we can tell you where to get the best lemon pepper wet wings (hint: it's J.R. Crickets) and other varieties of chicken in Atlanta, the city's vibrant and diverse culinary scene extends far beyond the humble bird. So whether you're in the mood for a steaming bowl of pho, deep-dish Detroit-style pizza (yes, in Atlanta) or a decadent, juicy burger, here are the 13 local foods you need to eat while visiting the Peach State's capital city. Double Stack Burger at Holeman & Finch. Holeman & Finch Public House. Once limited to only 24 burgers at 10 p.m. at the original Holeman & Finch Public House in Buckhead, the city's first burger to achieve cult status — and arguably one of its best — is now more readily available. Get the house-ground chuck and brisket double stack with melted American cheese, red onion and house-made pickles on the restaurant's signature bun at H&F Burger at Ponce City Market or the Battery at SunTrust Park and at the original restaurant, which now offers just 24 burgers each at lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. First come, first served. Chicken Wings at J.R. Crickets. While J.R. Crickets has 15 Atlanta area locations, we recommend hitting up the Midtown outpost, a few blocks from where this go-to wings spot launched in 1982. Order the lemon pepper wet like Paper Boi and Darius in season one of FX's "Atlanta," or try your drums or flats with the "Crickets Hot," "Southern Sweet Style BBQ" and more than ten delicious sauces. And don't forget the blue cheese. Oysters at Kimball House. Get $1 oysters from 5 to 7 p.m. weeknights during the happiest of hours at this former train depot converted to a contemporary cocktail bar in the heart of downtown Decatur. The restaurant offers over 20 varietals of sustainably farmed bivalves, all accompanied by clever and detailed descriptions like "green beans and cantaloupe — for real" and "driftwood and lobster bisque," plus some of the city's best drinks like the namesake Kimball House, a Negroni riff with gin, vermouth, aperitif wine and orange bitters. Sister restaurant Watchman's at Krog Street Market also offers $1 and half-off oysters — all of which are sourced from the Southeast — during its happy hour from 5 to 7 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Pair them with a classic daiquiri or a shot of chartreuse. Comfy Chicken Biscuit at Home Grown. The comfy chicken biscuit isn't the prettiest or healthiest breakfast in Atlanta, but it's certainly one of the most popular. So popular, in fact, the restaurant has installed a counter to tally how many plates of the juicy fried chicken atop thick sausage gravy and perfect flaky biscuit, and oddly flanked by a solitary orange, slice have been served. Farm Egg in Celery Cream at Miller Union. While James Beard award-winning chef Steven Satterfield's menu at Miller Union changes with the seasons, this one dish is a mainstay. The perfectly baked egg floating atop celery infused cream is as comforting as it is satisfying, especially soaked up with the accompanying slices of perfectly crusty bread. Margherita in Detroit at Nina & Rafi. This Beltline-adjacent Italian spot — from Anthony Spina of O4W Pizza and Billy Streck of Hampton + Hudon and Cypress Street Pint & Plate (one of the city's best sports bars) — specializes in Detroit-style pizza. Think rectangular pies with super thick crusts, tons of cheese and all the toppings. Try the "Margherita in Detroit," the restaurant's version of the Italian classic, with marinara sauce, garlic, pecorino, EVOO, house-made mozzarella, fresh basil and a deep, cheesy crust. Fried Chicken at Busy Bee Cafe. No one does soul food better than this downtown institution, which opened in 1947. The fried chicken dinner plate includes two perfectly crispy, gold brown pieces of chicken with your choice of cornbread muffin or dinner roll and two sides, like fresh collard greens, baked macaroni and cheese and candied yams. Hash Browns at Waffle House. The Atlanta-based chain has been bringing scattered (on the grill), smothered (with diced onions) and covered (with gooey American cheese) hash browns to night owls, hungover revelers and breakfast enthusiasts since 1955. You can also get them diced (with grilled tomatoes), chunked (with grilled hickory smoked ham) or capped (with grilled button mushrooms). Or go crazy and get all of the above. 3071 Lenox Rd NE. 3071 Lenox Rd NE , Atlanta , GA 30324 – Buckhead. There are no available floor plans or units. About 3071 Lenox Rd NE Atlanta, GA 30324.

Atlanta 24-27 Feb 2010. Buckhead Atlanta as seen from the Club lounge on the 21st floor at the Intercontinental Hotel Buckhead Atlanta Georgia. Buckhead is an affluent uptown district of Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia, comprising approximately the northern fifth of the city. Buckhead is a major commercial and financial center of the Southeast, and it is the third-largest business district in Atlanta, behind Downtown and Midtown. The district's highrise office buildings, hotels, and condominiums form a highly urbanized core along Peachtree Road. Surrounding this dense core are Buckhead's residential neighborhoods, which feature large single-family homes situated among dense forests and rolling hills. In 1838, Henry Irby purchased 202 1/2 acres surrounding the present intersection of Peachtree, Roswell, and West Paces Ferry roads from Daniel Johnson for $650. Irby subsequently established a general store and tavern at the northwest corner of the intersection. The name "Buckhead" comes from a story that Irby killed a large buck deer and placed the head in a prominent location. Prior to this, the settlement was called Irbyville. By the late 1800s, Buckhead had become a rural vacation spot for wealthy Atlantans. In the 1890s, Buckhead was rechristened Atlanta Heights but by the 1920s it was again "Buckhead". Buckhead remained dominated by country estates until after World War I, when many of Atlanta's wealthy began building mansions among the area's rolling hills. Despite the stock market crash of 1929, lavish mansions were still constructed in Buckhead throughout the Great Depression. In 1930, Henry Aaron Alexander built one of the largest homes on Peachtree Road, a 15,000-square-foot (1,400 m2) house with 33 rooms and 13 bathrooms. The community was annexed by Atlanta in 1952, following an earlier attempt by Mayor William B. Hartsfield in 1946 that was voted down by residents. Buckhead's black neighborhoods, including Johnsontown, Piney Grove, Savagetown and Macedonia Park, were razed beginning in the 1940s. In 1956, an estate known as Joyeuse was chosen as the site for a major shopping center to be known as Lenox Square. The mall was designed by Joe Amisano, an architect who designed many of Atlanta's modernist buildings. When Lenox Square opened in 1959, it was one of the first malls in the country, and the largest shopping center in the Southeastern U.S. Office development soon followed with the construction of Tower Place in 1974. To reverse a downturn in Buckhead Village during the 1980s, minimum parking spot requirements for bars were lifted, which quickly led to it becoming the most dense concentration of bars and clubs in the city, such as BAR, World Bar, Lulu's Bait Shack, Mako's, Tongue & Groove, Chaos, John Harvard's Brew House, Paradox, Frequency & Havana Club. Beginning in 2000, residents sought to ameliorate the crime situation by taking measures to reduce the community's nightlife and re-establish a more residential character. The Buckhead Coalition's president and former Atlanta Mayor Sam Massell, along with councilwoman Mary Norwood were instrumental in persuading the Atlanta City Council to pass a local ordinance to close bars at 2:30 AM rather than 4 AM, and liquor licenses were made more difficult to obtain. Eventually, most of the Buckhead Village nightlife district was acquired for the "Buckhead Atlanta" multi-use project, and many of the former bars and clubs were razed in 2007. In 2008, a newsletter by the Fulton County Taxpayers Foundation began circulating that proposed the secession of Buckhead into its own city after more than 50 years as part of Atlanta. This came on the heels of neighboring Sandy Springs, which finally became a city in late 2005 after a 30-year struggle to incorporate, and which triggered other such incorporations in metro Atlanta's northern suburbs. Like those cities, the argument to create a city of Buckhead is based on the desire for more local control and lower taxes. Buckhead was originally the central area now called "Buckhead Village". The current usage of the term Buckhead roughly covers the interior of the "V" formed by Interstate 85 on the east and Interstate 75 on the west. Buckhead is bordered by Cumberland and Vinings in Cobb County to the northwest, the city of Sandy Springs to the north, Brookhaven and North Druid Hills in DeKalb County to the east, Midtown Atlanta to the south, and West Midtown to the west. Since at least the 1950s, Buckhead has been known as a district of extreme wealth, with the western and northern neighborhoods being virtually unrivaled in the Southeast. In 2011, The Gadberry Group compiled the list of the 50 wealthiest zip codes in the United States, ranking Buckhead's western zip code (30327) as the second wealthiest zip code in the South (behind Palm Beach's 33480) and the second wealthiest zip code east of California and south of Virginia. The same group reported the average household income at $280,631, with an average household net worth of $1,353,189. These 2011 figures are up from a similar 2005 study that pegged Buckhead as the wealthiest community in the South and the only settlement south of the Washington D.C. suburb of Great Falls, and east of the Phoenix suburb of Paradise Valley to be among the 50 wealthiest communities in the country. However, according to Forbes magazine, (30327) is the ninth-wealthiest zip code in the nation, with a household income in excess of $341,000. The Robb Report magazine has consistently ranked Buckhead one of the nation's "10 Top Affluent Communities" due to "the most beautiful mansions, best shopping, and finest restaurants in the Southeastern United States". Due to its wealth, Buckhead is sometimes promoted as the "Beverly Hills of the East" or "Beverly Hills of the South" in reference to Beverly Hills, California, an area to which it is often compared. At the heart of Buckhead around the intersections of Lenox, Peachtree and Piedmont Roads, is a shopping district with more than 1,500 retail units where shoppers spend more than $2.96 billion a year. In addition, Buckhead contains the highest concentration of upscale boutiques in the United States. The majority are located at Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza, sister regional malls located diagonally across from each other at the intersection of Peachtree and Lenox Roads. The malls are home to designer boutiques, mainstream national retailers, as well as six major department stores. This commercial core also has a concentration of "big-box" retailers. The "Buckhead Atlanta" mixed-use development brought even more exclusive boutiques, restaurants, hotels, condos and office space to the heart of Buckhead in 2014. The name of the project was rebranded as 'Buckhead Atlanta'. Buckhead is also a center for healthcare, and is home both to Piedmont Hospital and the private, catastrophic care hospital Shepherd Center which specializes in spinal cord injury and acquired brain injury. The two hospitals are located adjacent to one another along Peachtree Road. (This location is known as "Cardiac Hill" by runners of the annual Peachtree Road Race.) Buckhead is also the location of a large share of Atlanta's diplomatic missions. Consulates in Buckhead include the Consulate-General of Australia and the Australian Trade Commission, the Consulate-General of France and the French Trade Commission, the Consulate-General of Brazil, the Consulate-General of Japan, and the Consulate of Greece. While much of west and north Buckhead is preserved as single-family homes in forested settings, the Peachtree Road corridor has become a major focus of high-rise construction. The first 400-foot (121 m) office tower, Tower Place, opened in 1974. Park Place, built in 1986, was the first 400+ foot (121+ m) condominium building. 1986 also saw the completion of the 425-foot (129 m), 34-story Atlanta Plaza, then Buckhead's tallest and largest building. In 2000, Park Avenue Condominiums pushed the record to 486 feet (148 m). Since that time, a wave of development has followed. The 660-foot (201 m) Sovereign and 580-foot (177 m) Mandarin Oriental were completed in 2008. Many luxury high-rise apartment buildings have been built recently, including the 26-story Post Alexander High Rise in 2014 and the 26-story Skyhouse Buckhead in 2014. Today, Buckhead has over 50 high-rise buildings, almost one-third of the city's total. Public schools in Buckhead are administered by Atlanta Public Schools. The following public elementary schools serve Buckhead: E. Rivers Elementary School. Garden Hills Elementary School. Morris Brandon Elementary School. Sarah Rawson Smith Elementary School. Warren T. Jackson Elementary School. The area is served by Sutton Middle School and North Atlanta High School. By 2012, due to overall population increases in Buckhead, many schools became increasingly crowded. Brandon Elementary was at 97% capacity, Garden Hills was at 102% capacity, E. Rivers was at 121% capacity, and Sutton was at 150% capacity. In the round of school zone change proposals in 2012, Ernie Suggs of the Atlanta Journal Constitution said that the zones of Buckhead "remained pretty much intact." There is an area charter school, Atlanta Classical Academy. Local private schools include the Atlanta International School, the Atlanta Speech School, Christ the King School, the Atlanta Girls School, The Galloway School, Holy Spirit Preparatory School, Trinity School, The Lovett School, Pace Academy, and The Westminster Schools. Colleges and universities. Georgia State University's J. Mack Robinson College of Business' Buckhead Center is located in the heart of Buckhead. This facility houses Georgia State's Executive MBA program. Its "Leadership Speaker Series", which showcases an agenda of executive officers from prestigious, well-known companies is also hosted at their Buckhead Center. The University of Georgia's Terry College of Business Executive Education Center is located in Buckhead. This facility houses the University's executive MBA program and Terry Third Thursday, a lecture series featuring business leaders. There are two branches of the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System in Buckhead: Northside Branch and Buckhead Branch. The Georgia Governor's Mansion, located on West Paces Ferry Road. The main north-south street of Buckhead is Peachtree Road, which extends south into the heart of the city as Peachtree Street, Atlanta's main street. This name change is significant in that it defines a border between Buckhead and Midtown. The main east-west street is Paces Ferry Road, named for a former ferry that used to cross the Chattahoochee River. Hardy Pace, one of Atlanta's founders, operated the ferry and owned much of what is now Buckhead. In addition to Peachtree and West Paces Ferry Roads, other arterial roads include Piedmont Road (Georgia 237), Roswell Road (Georgia State Route 9), and Northside Parkway. In the early 1990s, after a bitter fight against GDOT by residents, Buckhead was split in two by Georgia 400, a tolled extension of a freeway connecting I-285 to I-85. However, MARTA's Red Line extension was put in the highway's median, providing additional mass transit to Buckhead and Sandy Springs. MARTA operates three stations in Buckhead, the southernmost being Lindbergh Center. Just north of there, the Red and Gold lines split, with the Gold Line's Lenox station at the southwest corner of the Lenox Square parking lot, and the Red Line's Buckhead station on the west side of the malls where Peachtree crosses 400. A free circulator bus called "the buc" (Buckhead Uptown Connection) stops at all three stations. The proposed extension of the Atlanta Streetcar to Buckhead (nicknamed the "Peachtree Streetcar" because it would run along Peachtree Street in Downtown Atlanta and Peachtree Road in Buckhead) would provide street-level service with frequent stops all the way to downtown Atlanta, complementing the existing subway-type MARTA train service for the area. Pedestrians and bicycles. The PATH400 Greenway Trail is a multi-use trail under construction along the Georgia 400 tollway in Buckhead, Atlanta. Once complete, it will connect to the BeltLine.
