Atlanta is the capital and most populous city of the state of Georgia, and
the county seat of Fulton County in the United States. Like its compatriot
Phoenix, Atlanta is a city that rose from its ashes after it was destroyed
in the Civil War. This sad result had inspired Atlanta’s resident Margaret
Mitchell to write her best-selling novel named Gone with the Wind that
subsequently won her the Pulitzer Prize. Atlanta of 2018 is characterized
with its central business district that is home to the tallest building in
all the US state capitals - the 1023-feet-high Bank of America Plaza
building.
