I've spent a bit of time around Smyrna because that is where my wife used to live.

Loved the place, there are some good bars around there and it didn't seem to take too long to head off to Helen in GA which was one of the nicest places i've ever been. Stone mountain isn't too far either and that is a nice place to go and have a picnic and watch the laser light show in the evening.

And if you are into plane spotting you get free airshows from the nearby Marietta airbase.

If you like KFC then you can go to "The Big Chicken". Its a million times better than any KFC you get here.

Basically I enjoyed it there and would have quite happily moved there had the work situation panned out a bit better.

Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"
