ATLANTA (AP).- New York City has Times
Square. New Orleans is known for the French Quarter, and in San Francisco,
camera-toting tourists flock to Fisherman’s Wharf. Now, city leaders in Atlanta
hope to add Centennial Olympic Park — and the growing roster of museums dotting
it — to the list of popular urban tourism corridors. The downtown
district, once home to rundown buildings and dark streets, was transformed in
the mid-1990s into the town square for the 1996 Olympic Games. Now the 21-acre
park is bordered by the world’s largest aquarium, the international headquarters
for CNN, the World of Coca-Cola, a children’s museum and the National Museum of
Patriotism.
