Atlanta: More Than Just a City Name
You might be thinking, "Atlanta? The city with the crazy traffic?" Yes, that one. But it's also a city that has somehow managed to charm the entertainment industry into setting up shop. It's like they've discovered a secret sauce that makes everyone want to film there. Maybe it's the tax breaks, maybe it's the Southern hospitality, or maybe it's just that there are a lot of really good barbecue places.

From Zombies to Superheroes
Atlanta has played host to a diverse range of shows, from the terrifying to the fantastical. Let's start with the undead. The Walking Dead turned Atlanta into a post-apocalyptic nightmare, but hey, at least it looked cool. On the other end of the spectrum, we have the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Films like Black Panther and Ant-Man brought a touch of superhero magic to the city.

But wait, there’s more! Remember Stranger Things? Those kids weren't actually in Indiana; they were braving the Georgia heat. And let’s not forget the heartwarming world of The Vampire Diaries. Mystic Falls might be fictional, but it was definitely filmed in the Peach State.
