Atlanta’s Seven Gifts to the World
So, if you read the site last week, you know that we participated in a Metroblog-wide event where each city posted about the Seven Gifts their city had given to the world. If you weren’t aware, you are now.
Either way, here’s a handy dandy summary post to keep you informed and arguing. Whether you like the list or hate it, we hope you’ll comment or blog about our inclusions and snubs.
- Margaret Mitchell’s Gone With The Wind
- Jimmy Carter
- CNN
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
- The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
- Chick-Fil-A
- Coca-Cola
It’s a pretty good list, I think. Feel free to tell us otherwise, though.
I’m thinking Waffle House was a potential oversight. Any others?
Dr. Crawford Long certainly belongs on this list. He was the first physician to to have used an ether-based anesthesia during surgery. I think the world appreciates him for that.
