Atlanta, of course, is also the city of Margaret Mitchell, author of "Gone with the Wind". Burnt down in 1994, the house in which she was born (999 Peachtree St., NE) was burnt down again in 1996 after it had been rebuilt, and has now been rebuilt once more. The heroes of her novel can be found in the road to Tara Museum to the south of the house. Opposite it lies Fox Theatre, a 4600-seater cinema in 1930s and 1940s style (guided tours).
