the fanplanners guide to atlanta
​
Every city has a guide, but ours is special.
​
-
We don't sell advertising or take anything in trade for our recommendations.
-
We ask a lot of locals and well versed travelers what they think (plus our two cents).
-
We scour reviews and sites of all kinds (because we love to save you time).
​
​
P.S. No one calls it "Hotlanta" so lose that from the vocabulary.
