			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most vintage clothing is the result of high quality craftsmanship, and it is not uncommon for vintage clothe collectors to exclusively pursue any high fashion items. This is something which would have originally been custom made by hand for the wearer, and would have exquisite detail in the needlework and the fabric would be of the highest quality. Although vintage clothing stores are usually a bit pricier than thrift shops when it comes to second hand clothing, they usually more than make up for it in terms of quality and selectiveness, as you won&#8217;t have to sift through nearly as many clothes before you find something you like, and you are much more likely to find something unique.</p>
<p>If shopping for retro clothes is your thing, then a trip to Atlanta could well be a good move. In particular, the Little Five Points district has quite a high concentration of high quality, unique vintage clothing stores, but there are a few good ones outside of this area too. Why not give these a whirl next time you&#8217;re in town:</p>
<p>Stefan&#8217;s: One of the longest-established vintage clothing shops in Atlanta, Stefan&#8217;s, located in the Little Five Points district, is proof of the maxim that small can be beautiful. Although there are many larger vintage clothing shops around, few can match Stefan&#8217;s for the sheer concentration of funky clothes and groovy accessories. As well as stocking a very nice range of retro clothing and accessories, including hats and shoes, for men and women, they can also boast a unique range of vintage aprons. It&#8217;s not as cheap as some of the bigger thrift stores, but the overall high quality and diversity more than makes up for it.</p>
<p>Clothing Warehouse: If you are prepared to spend time looking for a real retro bargain, then make your way along to Clothing Warehouse in the Little Five Points district. With racks and racks of low to mid price vintage clothes arranged in colour order like a retro rainbow, it might take you a while, but you&#8217;re sure to find something to fit your shape and style in here! They stock a large selection of women&#8217;s and men&#8217;s clothing, so whether you&#8217;re after a nurse&#8217;s outfit or a pair of cowboy boots, you&#8217;ll find it in here.</p>
<p>Rag-o-Rama: Halfway between a thrift shop and a vintage store, Rag-o-Rama, in Little Five Points, is a perfect place to find unusual clothing and fancy dress. Although they do not have a strict cut-off date for vintage items, and as a result stock many less desirable items from recent years alongside the vintage stuff, if you have the time, you can always get something cool from here. This shop is popular with students and young hipsters due to their huge selection and low prices, so if you want to look your best for less, give Rag o Rama a whirl. In addition to their second hand clothing lines, they also stock some wild accessories for fancy dress parties, such us crazy sunglasses and wigs, so if you have a frat party planned in Atlanta, make sure to drop in here first!</p>
<p>Lucky Exchange: There are two Lucky Exchange shops in Atlanta, one in Ponce de Leon in Midtown and one in Moreland, near East Atlanta. Although the selection of clothes that they stock is a little heavy on the eighties and nineties side, the ease of parking, relaxed setting, and lower than average prices make it well worth a visit. You can even get away with a doing a bit of haggling if you&#8217;ve got the guts!</p>
<p>Psycho Sisters: Like a smaller version of Rag-o-Rama, Psycho Sisters, with shops in Little Five Points, Marietta and Cartersville, feature a mix of modern and vintage clothing with a rock&#8217;n'roll vibe. If you&#8217;re looking for a costume, particularly for a Halloween costume, then Psycho Sisters could be just the place to begin your search, although there are plenty of bargains to be had on day to day clothing for the rebellious teen in all of people!</p>
<p>Vintage clothing is easy to come by from most second hand shops.You need to know what you are looking for, but there are usually plenty to choose from. Vintage clothing is still as fashionable today as it was when it was made. It is a way you can set yourself out from the crowd with unique fabrics and needle work, while still being hip and cool.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Relaxing is an important part of a summer vacation. Even children need time to relax and get away from the hectic busy lives that they lead and the piles of homework that they have. With sports and the pressure to work hard, there is no doubt that the relaxation that comes from a summer vacation is important to them and much deserved by them. All families enjoy relaxation including you and your spouse. Parents have plenty of stress with work and their family lives. There is no doubt that problems often arise and things need to be done. With a summer vacation, relaxation offers time away from all of this. Atlanta is Georgia&#8217;s largest city and is filled with great summer things to do for this season&#8217;s holidaymakers. Travelers with children of varying ages will find themselves with their hands full of all the family oriented attractions and activities that the city has to offer.</p>
<p>Before you start your summer vacation and wander around with your family, get yourselves the Atlanta CityPass that will give you instant admissions to the most popular attractions in the city. The Atlanta CityPass not only gives you great savings on cash, but also helps you save on time as you no longer need to fall in line for tickets for every attraction. The Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola, High Museum of Art, Atlanta Botanical Gardens, Zoo Atlanta, Atlanta History Center and Fernbank Museum of Natural History are just some of the places you can go to with the Atlanta CityPass.</p>
<p>Note: The High Museum of Art currently features the works of Atlanta-based professional photographer, Sheila Pree Bright, entitled Young Americans. The exhibit shows photographs of young American adults with captions that state their opinions and sentiments about American culture and society. This display will run until August 10th 2008. If you have children ages 2 to 8, the Imagine It! Children&#8217;s Museum of Atlanta is highly recommended. Your kids will be encouraged and excited to learn new things with the museum&#8217;s colorful hands-on exhibits. There are so many things to see, listen to, touch and explore in this 30,000 square-foot establishment, even older kids and parents are going to find themselves enjoying the place!</p>
<p>The Fabulous Fox Theater presents the Coca-Cola Summer Film Festival. The Fox, as it is more popularly called, has the biggest screen in Atlanta and features blockbuster hits of the past and present. The Fox adds a few more movies this August that will definitely draw dozens of moviegoers. Some of the movies are Iron Man, Kung Fu Panda and Indiana Jones &#8211; Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. If you wish to spice your family summer vacation up with a little adventure, then Georgia&#8217;s Stone Mountain State Park is right for you. Just sixteen miles east of Atlanta stands the 3,200 acre-park that centers the world&#8217;s largest exposed granite mountain. The first thing you should do when you get to the park is to ride the sky-lift gondolas that will take you over 800 feet above ground, giving you the most beautiful views of Georgia&#8217;s countryside. Within the park are other interesting things to see and do such as a petting zoo, a riverboat, an antique automobile museum and an antebellum plantation. Be sure to settle your family in the park&#8217;s campgrounds or any of its other lodging options for the laser light show in the evening, which is a regular event in Stone Mountain State Park during the summer.</p>
<p>There are many benefits to enjoy with a summer vacation. The time that you both spend together is one of the most important benefits. Most families simply do not have time to spend together during the busy week. With long hours and all of the busy schedules your family keeps, it is easy to see time fly by without a lot of family time. A summer vacation can help you to get this time and enjoy each other. Atlanta is genuinely rich of cool surprises for everyone taking a vacation. It has been among the most sought for getaways for families, couples and those who prefer traveling alone. Top the above mentioned attractions and activities off with the city&#8217;s wide array of dining options, and you are definitely bound to have one of the best family summer vacations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While the real estate industry in many other parts of the country slips into a coma, it&#8217;s amazing how Atlanta real estate seems to be more than just stable; in fact, some would go as far as to predict that the population in Atlanta will continue to grow while Atlanta real estate will experience exponential growth in the near future. The credit should go to the steady rise in the rate of employment and improvement of the tourism industry in Atlanta; because of all these factors, more and more people think that investing in a property in Atlanta is a marvelous idea.If you are looking for real estate in the South, the Atlanta real estate market is definitely worth some attention. Atlanta, Georgia is a place filled with history and beauty, and the residents there cherish both deeply. In Atlanta, the people hang on to the past and keep the spirit of Southern hospitality alive and well.</p>
<p>No matter what type of home you are looking for, whether it is a home that reflects the great history of Atlanta or a more modern structure you will find it in the Atlanta area. The city also offers a great deal of culture, and education is a top priority. No matter what your family&#8217;s likes, dislikes, or interests are, there is surely something to please everyone in the Atlanta area. Morover, the main reason why people are flocking to Atlanta is because Atlanta real estate is comparatively more affordable than other parts of the country. For example, if you were to purchase a property in New York or Long California or Orlando Florida, you can expect to fork out millions for the property. But if you research a little on Atlanta real estate, you&#8217;ll find the prices of property here are extremely affordable. The deal is sweeter when the properties in metropolitan areas of Atlanta are truly exceptional in design as well.</p>
<p>Atlanta real estate for commercial properties is not singing the same tune, though but the oversupply of commercial property has not affected the Atlanta real estate industry for residential property. Companies began showing an interest in setting up factories and office buildings in Atlanta since many years back and because of this, more commercial buildings were built, which led to a demand for residential buildings. Because of this increase in demand in Atlanta&#8217;s real estate, mortgage rates fell through the floor and people began realizing that purchasing a home or an office in Atlanta is a great move. The trend right now is that people are lapping the property up as they are built. Atlanta real estate has never seen better days and it&#8217;s amazing that despite the slump in the economy, people continue to perceive Atlanta as a good investment ground.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Atlanta is the capital city of the state of Georgia in the United States of America. Atlanta rests on the ridge of the Chattahoochee River and it is treated to a pleasant, subtropical climate. During the summer, the city receives hot, humid weather, while the winters are generally mild. There are currently over three million people in this city, and there are just as many attractions to see. But how can you get cheap flights to Atlanta in order to be able to visit this beautiful city? Saving money while flying there is really not very difficult if we keep a few things in mind.</p>
<p>First of all you want to try and travel there during the time of year when now one else is making that same trip. The most pleasant time of year to visit Atlanta is during the spring or fall. During this time of year is when you ll find most people wanting to travel there. That doesn&#8217;t mean that you can&#8217;t also enjoy this same time frame. If you don&#8217;t have any children, just go either before the schools close for summer or after the schools open in the fall.</p>
<p>Try to avoid direct flights. You will find that you can get cheap flights to Atlanta much easier if you take a round about way to get there. Which airport you fly out of will also affect the price. You may find that you can save some money just by by driving to another airport to flying out of there than leaving from your local airport. Always check the internet for cheap flights to Atlanta. There are sites that can get you prices that you can never get on your own directly from airlines. A couple of these sites are Orbitz and Travelocity. Keep in mind that just because they are a large company with a large advertising budget it doesn&#8217;t mean that they can get you the best prices. Therefor you will need to compare prices between these different sites.</p>
<p>A lot of airlines will also offer student discounts. Check with the airlines and see if they offer any special Pricing for students. Most cities with colleges will have agencies that specialize in travel just for students. Are you a senior citizen? Sometimes airlines will also offer discounts to seniors as well. Make sure to ask about that as well. Group discounts may also be available to people traveling in large numbers. If you are traveling in a group ask about a discount. Airlines don&#8217;t typically advertise this so you will want to ask about this as a way to get some cheap flights to Atlanta.</p>
<p>One way to get cheap flights to Atlanta that most people don&#8217;t think of is to fly on a chartered flight. Chartered flights are usually set up just like group discounted flights. However, they are not only set up with the airlines but also with hotels. Because of this, chartered flights will offer full package deals with hotels, meals and sometimes rental cars. However, if you are only interested in the flight, you can usually get a discount on just the flight. Just ask about charted flights when speaking with your local travel agent.</p>
