I have to agree, DragonCon… It is like Halloween in September. You see some Nice bodys and have dressed people but then also will see The the cast from Starwars.. Fun people and fun time to see fun costumes.

I think the best place to people watch is at Centinial Park and CNN Center before a big sporting event. People from all over come out and the fanatic fan’s of their teams are a sight to see for all ages!

For this Saturday through Monday, the U.S. 10K Family Festival at the Galleria and then the U.S. 10K Race are highlights of every year to see all of the children and their families and their pets and competitors from around the world. The annual Kid’s Classic Races begin at 11 a.m. Saturday. Besides all of the free activities for children, there are free samplings of all kinds of healthy treats. Then the big races are at 7 a.m. Monday, starting from Cumberland Mall on U.S. 41 and ending at White Water. See US10K.org.

If you want to see “all kinds”, go to the Five Points MARTA station. I haven’t been there a lot, but the few times I have been there, I have been entertained…albeit frightened at the same time!

Brent: You are dead-on. The CL is a classic. I remember my first time - we all looked at each other and thought, “What Th’ Fu’ ?!” And then one of the dancers got up on the stage with her arm in a sling! PRICELESS

Definitely Hartsfield Airport! And it’s easy to spot the well-traveled vs. those who travel only once a year.
