Where Art Thou, ATL Sign?
There are actually two contenders for the title of "The ATL Sign" in Atlanta, each with its own unique charm:
The Centennial Olympic Park Billboard: This 30-foot-tall digital behemoth towers over Centennial Olympic Park, flashing with advertisements and occasionally gracing us with the letters "ATL." While not exactly a permanent fixture, it's a great way to catch a glimpse of the city abbreviation in a dazzling lightshow. Just be prepared to explain to your selfie stick-wielding travel companions that it's not Times Square.
The ATL Playground: Tucked away in Woodruff Park, you'll find a playground structure shaped like the letters ATL. Perfect for a playful photo op (or letting the kids burn some energy while you pretend to be interested in their climbing skills). Just remember, it's a jungle gym, not your personal throne.
Pro Tip: If you're feeling fancy, head to the nearby High Museum of Art for a dose of culture before your artistic expression with the playground letters.
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.
So, Which One Should I Visit?
Honestly, it depends on your vibe. Do you crave the bright lights, big city feel? Centennial Olympic Park is your jam. Feeling more playful and low-key? Woodruff Park is calling.
But wait, there's more! Atlanta is a city full of surprises. Keep your eyes peeled for unofficial "ATL" signs sprinkled around town. You never know where you might find the perfect Instagrammable moment.
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.
