Academic choices. Students have four distinct choices to complete their undergraduate education. Oxford College Emory is alone among top research universities in offering two academically equivalent but environmentally distinct options for entering students. Founded in 1836, Emory College began in a small town about thirty-eight miles east of Atlanta. Thanks to the generosity of the Candler family, in 1915 Emory College moved its campus inside the city of Atlanta. The university decided to keep the original campus and while Oxford’s history is rich, today Oxford College is an academically equivalent but environmentally different opportunity for first and second year students. Students may apply to Oxford College to spend their first two years in a small- town/suburban setting.

  • Iconic Atlanta Hot Dog and Burger Joint Is Part of the American Fabric. by Jody Shee
    ATLANTA the varsity The Varsity Iconic Atlanta hot dog and burger joint is part of the American fabric. BY JODY SHEE hen Frank Gordy opened Yellow Jacket Inn restaurant on a 70 x 120-foot lot at the corner of Lucky and Hemphill in Atlanta in 1928, all he had was $2,000, a pot of chili, some hot dogs, a few bottles of Coca Cola and a pretty big dream. With the meager Wprofits he made from that hot dog stand, he opened The Varsity later that year, selling American fast food from inside and outside the unit. Before he died in 1983, Gordy probably had no idea how far his family would take his dream. According to the Atlanta Business Chronicle, The Varsity ranks No. 3 among Atlanta’s top 25 restaurants based on annual sales ($12.61 million). With eight locations, the mothership sits across from Georgia Institute of Technology on five acres—an entire city block. When he purchased the land, Gordy dreamed of opening restaurants in other college towns, as well, so he chose a collegiate name for the chain-to-be. The original locale stands as a slice of Americana by which seasoned patrons chart the milestones of their lives over the past 87 years. Several customers have recounted to Gordy’s grandson and company president Gordon Muir that, in the early days, the restaurant was sometimes so crowded that Gordy would usher them with their food into his office and seat them at his desk. Now, with inside seating for 800 guests and a carport outside for about 40 cars, seating space isn’t quite the issue it once was at the expanded 18,000-square-foot restaurant.

  • Impact for a Sustainable Future Annual Report 2016 Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge Introduction | 03
    IMPACT FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE ANNUAL REPORT 2016 ATLANTA BETTER BUILDINGS CHALLENGE INTRODUCTION | 03 One of my proudest accomplishments as Mayor of Atlanta is the tremendous success achieved through the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge (ABBC). The Office of Resilience has partnered with businesses and nonprofit organizations to implement a comprehensive, voluntary program to increase energy and water efficiency in our building stock. The Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge invites participating building owners to commit to a 20 percent reduction in energy and water use by year 2020. With more than 114 million square feet of building space and more than 600 buildings pledged, Atlanta has earned its spot as a leader on the efficiency scoreboard. Since 2011, this successful public-private partnership between the City of Atlanta, Central Atlanta Progress, Livable Buckhead, Midtown Alliance and Southface has positioned Atlanta as a national leader in energy and water efficiency. We surpassed our water reduction goal five years ahead of schedule, and we’re quickly closing the gap on our energy goal, having already reduced our portfolio’s energy consumption by 17 percent. Through the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge, participants are saving money on bills now, while helping to ensure a more resilient future for all Atlantans. This program plays a pivotal role in furthering Atlanta as a top-tier city for sustainability. We hope to inspire other cities by our achievements and lead by example as we continue to make big strides in reducing our energy and water usage. Thanks to our participants in the Challenge. Sincerely, IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF OUR BUILDINGS 20 PERCENT BY 2020 Mayor Kasim Reed The goal of the Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Resource conservation efforts not only support the City’s Challenge is to improve the efficiency of commercial, sustainability efforts and lead to a cleaner and healthier institutional, industrial, and multifamily buildings by 20% or place to live and work, but the dollar savings achieved more by 2020.

  • Atlanta City Guide
    Atlanta City Guide Page | 1 Atlanta Atlanta at night Atlanta is the vanguard of the New South, with the charm and elegance of the Old. It is a city that balances southern traditions with sleek modernism. In Atlanta, the peach trees are plentiful and the tea is sweet, yet this city boasts three skylines and the world’s busiest airport. Atlanta has been burnt to the ground and built back up; it has seen the horrors of war and felt the pain of droughts and floods. Atlanta knows rebirth and endurance though, perhaps better than any other city. Atlanta was host to the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games, gave birth to the greatest figure of the civil rights movement, is the beloved capital of the state of Georgia, and has become the enduring leader of the American South. Districts The separated skyscrapers of Downtown, Midtown, and Buckhead make Atlanta’s three skylines, and the size of any one of these districts could rival the center of any other city in the South. Atlanta is not all high rises though; each of the city’s urban neighborhoods offer unique atmospheres that are well adapted to living in the shadow of the city. Downtown (Five Points, Centennial Park, Sweet Auburn, Hotel District, Castleberry Hill) The most central and commercial area in Georgia (economically and politically), downtown Atlanta includes the state capitol, city hall, the CNN Center, Georgia Aquarium and the New World of Coca-Cola Midtown (Midtown, Atlantic Station) Just North of Downtown, this is a major business and residential district with tall skyscrapers and a popular nightlife area.
