In 1868 Atlanta city officials made a bid for Atlanta to be named as the state capital. Atlanta offered suitable buildings for state officials at no charge for ten years. Atlanta also offered land in the city for a state capitol. In view of Atlanta's recent population growth, better rail accessibility, and the offer of land and buildings, the Georgia constitutional convention voted to accept the offer and move the capital city from Milledgeville to Atlanta.

I always favored the one in Augusta, but it's gone now. And don't get me started about the little hole-in-the-wall diners in South Georgia -- YUM!
