Atlanta Strip Clubs: The letdown of Atlanta tourism
Posted on August 31st, 2011 in Atlanta strip clubs
Historically, Atlanta has had four things going for it as a regional destination: high-end shopping malls, bare-it-all strip clubs, a crazy nightlife scene — now much muted — and our status as the home of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. It’s pretty obvious which among these things the city should capitalize on. Now, imagine being a visitor to Atlanta who gets off the train at the deceptively named King Memorial MARTA station. The roughly one-mile walk to the King Center is drab and unwelcoming. And after you’ve toured the King historic sites — well, then what? Hoof it back to MARTA? Wait for a cab to take you to your next destination?
…
Plus, the city’s actual family-oriented, tourist attractions — i.e., things that aren’t malls or strip clubs — are expensive. An outing to Zoo Atlanta or the Georgia Aquarium costs around 100 bucks for a family of four. And a certain downtown “children’s museum” is a serious letdown.
