Everyday Bucket List: Travel, Bucket List Ideas & Money Hacks to Enjoy Life More Often

#53 If you're looking for fun things to do in Atlanta, Georgia this weekend or down the road, this city is definitely worth visiting.

In this episode of The Everyday Bucket List podcast, we'll discuss Atlanta attractions!

We cover:

  • Atlanta's Culture: "Black Hollywood," vibrant arts
  • Food and Attractions: Lemon pepper wings, Bamboo Forest
  • Personal Journey: China experience, 14 Days in Beijing

Today I chat with Chancellor K. Jackson about Atlanta. In this episode, host and guest Chancellor Kay Jackson discuss Atlanta, Georgia, where he shares his background and insights as a local.

He highlights the city’s vibrant culture, referring to it as "Black Hollywood," and mentions popular attractions and foods, like lemon pepper wings.

It's best known for its rich history and culture and for being the home of major corporations like Coca-Cola and Delta Airlines. 

There are many things to do in Atlanta for couples, families, or solo travelers. Atlanta has it all, whether you’re looking for family fun, a romantic getaway, or something exciting to explore.

You can spend a Saturday exploring places like the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site or the World of Coke Museum. 

With so much to see and do, we recommend spending at least three days in the city to really experience everything it has to offer. And if you have a little more time, there are plenty of other attractions to explore in this vibrant city. 

Chancellor also recounts his transformative experience living in China and his book, 14 Days in Beijing, which details his arrest there. The conversation blends local insights with engaging stories about culture and personal growth.
