The "place" next to the World of Coca-Cola is named after this man, which makes sense because he developed the drink in his pharmacy in 1886. (And remember, every soft drink in Georgia is a coke, except Pepsi, which is battery acid).

In Atlanta, you're either "ITP" or "OTP." The P stands for the Perimeter*. What three number designation denotes Atlanta's perimeter? In 1982, Braves pitcher Pascual Perez famously missed a start because he kept driving around Atlanta on this Interstate looking for the stadium, earning him the nickname "Perimeter Pascual" (he ran out of gas during the search and made it to the ballpark ten minutes late). *For those who don't speak Southern, you call these "beltways." :)
