Shop in Atlanta... And while you're at it, why not grab a bite to eat?
Atlanta has a vibrant shopping scene, from the most common retailers like WalMart to specialty shops, to high end retail like Dillards. For an eclectic array of retailers, I would first recommend that one should check out the Camp Creek Market Place.
Taking 285 west bound past the airport to exit 2 will take you to this This gigantic shopping complex boasts a Target, an Old Navy, a Pier One, a Barnes and Noble, a PetsMart, a Wachovia banking center, a BJ's wholesale store, and various electronic specialty shops from GameStop to Wolf Camera and video. Additionally Camp Creek also boasts a rather diverse palate for those who are also looking to grab a bite to eat. Check out Red Lobster if you've got more expensive taste, but if you're looking for more inexpensive fare, try the ever popular Panda Express or another Atlanta staple, Chic Fil-A. There are other sorted restaraunts, both fast food and sit-down, that should more than satisfy a hungry shopper...
The next retail complex that is sure to please more of the high end crowd can be located off 17th street in midtown Atlanta. Welcome, patrons, to the greatly anticipated, wildly popular retail megacenter, Atlantic Station! One of Atlanta's newest shopping complexes, Atlantic Station boasts a variety of stores, including a Dillards, DSW shoes, Z Gallery (a high end home accent store), an Old Navy, a Publix (grocery store) and the internationally acclaimed IKEA! For the kids, there is a Regal 16 movie theater. If all that shopping makes you hungry, check out The Strip, Fox Sports Grill, Doc Greens, BoneHeads, or Cold Stone Creamery, just to name a few. Another perk to choosing Atlantic Station is that it is very MARTA friendly. Patrons can ride MARTA to the Art Center Station (N5 on the Rail Map) and then as they exit the MARTA station, they can ride the Atlantic Station shuttle for free. The shuttle makes stops at various points throughout Atlantic Station in both the commercial and residential sectors. That's all for now people... Happy Shopping!
