Downtown Atlanta proved an interesting place to explore for a few days, while attending FABCON / SQLCON 2026. More compelling than anything else, I had the opportunity to capture a few views for the collection from 9 km or so in the air.
Basecamp held its own unique history, though not much is left of the old place beyond a high-rise with a spectacular view from the outdoor pool on the 19th floor. With a Margaritaville attached, a Waffle House a block away, Centennial Park sprawling across the street, and the Georgia World Conference Center lie just on the other side of that, it proved itself the perfect location.
In my spare time, I wandered about a 2 km radius from the location, taking in the local art and dropping by the state capitol building. The space between has definitely seen better times, though appeared as though it were rebuilding to return to those glory days. It was an interesting town, and very walkable in the daylight, though I am not sure I would return with the sole intent on seeing Atlanta.
