The city where I spent five years of my life: Atlanta, Georgia. This was taken from my parents' hotel room on the 50th floor of the Westin downtown last Saturday after Katie graduated from Georgia Tech (my alma mater as well).

That's the Interstate 75/85 corridor running down the image just left of center, and the Georgia Tech football stadium is easy to spot a bit farther left. The tallest building visible here is the Bank of America building, also one of the tallest in the city. Far in the distance on the right side of the photo, you can see some of the highrise buildings in Buckhead.

And, just in case you can't tell, the weather in Atlanta last weekend was beautiful.

For some reason, this reminds me of a joke (I think it was a joke) about the evacuation plans for Atlanta in case of nuclear attack. The city would be divided into quadrants with native Georgians driving outboud on I-75 and I-85, depending on their quad. The Yankees were to evacuate on I-285.
