a visit to one of my favorite shows that mom had never been to: cirque de soleil. a nice customer of hers arranged tickets for us in late January on closing weekend. the location of the cirque was in a new area of atlanta that we had not even been to yet, Atlantic Station. its a well designed, pedestrian friendly shopping, dining, and living district. they even haved shared cars, for residents who bike, to use. dont quote me, but if i had to move back atlanta one day, this is where i could live. its in midtown and a new bridge at 17th street connects it to the 'other' side of town. there were numerous restaurants and a rare department store for intowners. we had a blast. dined on tapas at the grape for lunch, had tea at PJs cafe before the show, walked over to the show, enjoyed the event, then dined again at doc greens salad bar and popped down to our car in the garage to head home. we'll be back for sure, great stores, great food, and fun hats!
