feature Life’s a Peach Sultry Atlanta seduces the crowd with its lavish architecture and patchwork of diverse neighbor- Summer Where will the season take you? By Kristen HampsHire you could go. and watch it all. Summer is both vibrant and mellow. the salty brine of Nantucket, or tour historic Georgetown in the Capital City. Take your time, drink in the world. How refreshing it is! Destination hoods, all with distinct flavor. Metropolitan meets plantation meets revolution. Atlanta’s reputation as a hot spot — besides temperature — goes back to the Civil Rights movement, when progress waged a war and eventually won. Today, Atlanta retains a certain electricity that sets a spirit on fire. At the same time, it is prim and sophisticated, attached to its southern finery. The city is fiery orange and soft coral; ultra-violet and sweet lavender. These contradictions create a provocative gumbo for visitors to sample. In Ansley Park, get lost on winding roads of grand, gracious man- Summer sun streams through the bedroom window, wrapping your fast-asleep soul in a warm blanket of rays and washing your groggy face with its golden glow. That first shot of light is a sneak preview of what’s in store for the day. Oh, the possibilities — the places The season rolls in to the tune of wake-up yellow, grass green, hot poppy, disco violet, and all of those flowers we anticipate all winter. Wake up, hurry up, get out! Or just lounge in it all — the season gives us a dynamic show with the license to chill poolside But be warned: its intoxicating energy will swiftly push you out the door like a mother shooing a child out of the stagnant house to go play. Before long, you’ll be on the road — destination somewhere. Why not scour Seattle’s bustling Pike Place Market? Dine on French cuisine in Atlanta’s Buckhead, melt away in a serene Scottsdale spa, breathe in sions that stand proud in the shadows of Midtown’s crop of high-rise buildings. Bop over to Buckhead for top-of-the-line tastes in couture, dining and modern living. Nighttime is the right time to flaunt it all in lights that sparkle like princess-cut diamonds (no knock-offs in this neighborhood, thank you very much). If you can’t stand the heat, head to the seaboard. P R AT TA N D L A M B E R T. C O M
