The Atlanta Thrashers is one of the famous names in the history of hockey. The Thrashers are actually a National Hockey League (NHL) team that is based in Philips Arena in the city Atlanta, Georgia. They have played a lot of hockey championships in Atlanta and the world and greatly won several titles. Today, the Atlanta Thrashers are a name worthy of fame.

The Franchise History

The Atlanta Thrashers are actually one of the National Hockey League’s newest teams. The origin of the group can be traced back to the time when Atlanta was awarded an NHL franchise in 1997 to replace the Atlanta Flames, which left for Calgary in 1980 and became the Calgary Flames. The newly formed team first selected Patrik Stefan with their first number-one draft pick in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft, and it was in October 2, 1999 that they have played their first game and lost 4-1 to the New Jersey Devils.

In September 2003, the Atlanta Thrashers was sold to a group of executives by Time Warner, along with the Atlanta Hawks, a professional basketball team. From then on, the Atlanta Thrashers shared the arena with the Hawks. That same month, an unforgettable tragedy happened when the star forward Dany Heatley crashed his Ferrari in a one-car accident that seriously injured Heatley and killed the Atlanta Thrasher’s center Dan Snyder, who was then a passenger in the car. Because of that accident, the Thrashers dedicated their 2003-2004 NHL season to Snyder’s memory. During that season, the team wore black patches with Snyder’s number, 37, on their jerseys.

In their short history, the Atlanta Thrashers have actually never made the playoffs. Their best season so far was the 2003-2004 NHL season where out of 82 games, they won 33, lost 37, tied 8 and had overtime losses in four games.

The Atlanta Thrashers today play in the Southeast Division of the NHL’s Eastern Conference, and they are currently coached by Bob Hartley. It is interesting to know that the team name and logo came from the brown thrasher, the state bird of Georgia.

Recap of the 2003-2004 NHL Season

In the history of the Atlanta Thrashers, the 2003-2004 NHL season was by the far the most successful. The team was then led by captain Shawn McEachern, and with the memory of Dan Snyder on their mind, they jumped quickly out of the gates with some notable highlights. It is interesting to know that during that season, Ilya Kovalchuk scored 8 goals in the first 7 games, including two hat tricks, one in a 7-2 rout of the Chicago Blackhawks, and another in a come from behind victory against the Nashville Predators. Also, come from behind victories became a standard sight throughout the season, including the team’s wins from games against the Los Angeles Kings and the New York Islanders, as well as the shocking upsets against the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Ottawa Senators, and the Boston Bruins, among others.

While clearly the Atlanta Thrashers playoffs hope were done for that year, they still played on and ended up finishing second in the Southeast Division and 10th in the Eastern Conference, only a handful of wins away from the playoffs. And, despite the tragedy that happened to their teammate Dan Snyder, the Atlanta Thrashers moved on and ended up doing relatively well, and their future certainly looks bright.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has long been serving as the only major daily newspaper in the whole Atlanta area, including its suburbs. It is commonly known as AJC, and is currently owned by the Cox Enterprise. On its most basic, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is the final synthesis of the merger between the Atlanta Journal and the Atlanta Constitution. The staff of these two papers was combined in 1982, and all separate delivery of the morning Constitution and the afternoon Journal ended in 2001.

Following to the staff consolidation in 1982, the afternoon Atlanta Journal had maintained a center-right editorial page, while the editorials and op-eds in the morning Atlanta Constitution was reliable liberal. It is further interesting to know that when the editions of both papers were finally combined in 2001, the editorial page staffs also merged. With the merger of these two powerful papers, it’s no wonder that the editorials and op-eds have attempted to strike a more balanced tone. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, since 2003, has also published Access Atlanta, which is a free tabloid-sized entertainment paper.

The Morning Atlanta Constitution

Now part of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Atlanta Constitution was actually first published on June 16, 1868 and by 1871, it had killed off the only Atlanta paper to survive during the American Civil War – the Daily Intelligencer. Captain Evan Howell who was a former Intelligencer city editor purchased a controlling interest on the paper in 1876 and he became its editor-in-chief. Also, that same year, Joel Chandler Harris started writing the paper and soon invented the character of Uncle Remus, a black storyteller. It was only during the 1880s when this part of today’s Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s editor, Henry W. Grady started to become the spokesman for the New South, promoting industrial development in the South.

The Atlanta Constitution, as part of today’s Atlanta Journal-Constitution, saw its first victory when it won a Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing in 1959 for Ralph McGill’s editorial. It also won the same prize in 1967 for Eugene Patterson’s editorials. In 1960, Jack Nelson won the Pulitzer Prize for local reporting, exposing abuses at Milledgeville State Hospital for the mentally ill. And, in 1988, the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning was given to the Constitution’s Doug Marlette and Mike Luckovich in 1995.

The Afternoon Atlanta Journal

The year 1883 saw the birth of Atlanta Journal, the other important part of today’s Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Its founder was E.F. Hoge who sold the paper to Atlanta lawyer Hoke Smith in 1887. In 1922, the Journal established Atlanta’s first radio station, the WSB. Both the newspaper and radio station were sold in 1939 to James Middleton Cox, founder of what would become Cox Enterprise.

The Merger

Prior to the birth of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Cox Enterprise first bought the Constitution in June 1950, bringing both newspapers under one ownership and combining sales and administrative offices. However, separate newsrooms were kept until 1982, though both the newspapers were published. The afternoon Journal led the morning Constitution until the 1970s when the afternoon papers started to fall out of favor with subscribers. It was only in November 2001 when the two newspapers, which were once fierce competitors, merged to produce one daily morning paper – the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

As you may know, oral health encompasses so much more than just brushing the teeth every meal and applying floss after. It is still very important to see a dentist regularly, every six months to one year.

Now, if you are currently looking for a particular licensed Atlanta dentist, note your primary objective. Of course, there is a myriad of reasons why you may be searching for an Atlanta dentist. Perhaps you may have a toothache, need a dental cleaning, want whiter teeth, or want a complete smile makeover by a leading cosmetic Atlanta dentist. No matter what your objective is, always remember that there is no shortage of dentists. Along with this, there is no shortage of patients squeamish about visiting one.

To lessen at least some of the discomforts you feel about finding an Atlanta dentists, think about the following first before opting for one particular specialist for you and your family. Here are the necessary pointers to note:

Convenient office location and hours – As you may know, it’s hard enough to go and get a painful procedure. Much harder is when you know that your desired Atlanta dentist is in Alpharetta and you live and work downtown the area. If this is the case, there is a great possibility that you may never make it. So, choosing an Atlanta dentist near your home or office who can see you at your convenience, whether it means early in the morning, lunchtime or during evening hours, is worth a consideration.

Good bedside manner – Remember that your mouth is just a part of your body and a good dentist is interested in the whole you. This is especially typical if you have oral health issues and are not just in for a routine cleaning. So, if you have kids who need an oral examination, look for an Atlanta dentist who specializes in children’s dentistry. It is only them who special techniques and equipment to make your kids’ dental visit less intimidating for your young ones.

Proper oral health education – Before considering a particular dentist in Atlanta, try to find out if your dentist answers your questions and teach you proper brushing and flossing techniques. Also, make sure that their pamphlets are available in the office. If possible, try also to find out if the dentist or the oral hygienist offers you samples of products to try.

Member of the club – In the United States, or anywhere else in the world, the licensed dentists are members of a distinguished club. So, when you look for a particular Atlanta dentist, make sure that he or she is a member of the American Dental Association, which has a code of ethics and principles by which all members must apply.

Aside from these mentioned guidelines to note, it is also necessary for everyone to know that other than routine cleanings and x-rays, there are or other reasons why people visit the dentist, and there are possible treatments. Thus, it is better to ask what the necessary treatment is and what the cosmetic is. A good Atlanta dentist will discuss with you a treatment plan before any procedure is done.

Aquariums, which some call “the new zoos” are today’s hottest lure. This is specifically true in Atlanta as the titanic aquarium was opened just recently for the people to see and enjoy. The Atlanta aquarium was actually opened to create some kind of magnet that will generate other kinds of activity in the city. It was developed as part of an effort by the city to entice people to their central downtowns by creating entertainment zones, and they fortunately succeeded in doing so.

The original idea for opening the Atlanta aquarium, also known as Georgia Aquarium, comes from Bernie Marcus when he announced in November 2001 his plans to donate funds to build an aquarium in downtown Atlanta. From that idea, the Atlanta Aquarium was built in half-million square foot facility housing, with more than 100,000 animals in 8 million gallons of fresh and salt water. From the groundbreaking to the opening, it was noted that the construction process took only 27 months. And, today, the Atlanta aquarium sits on 9 ½ acres of land adjacent to the Centennial Olympic Park in the downtown area.

As you may have noticed on your visit to the aquarium, the exterior of the building was specifically designed to look like a giant ship breaking through a wave. As the visitors forward to the large atrium which is located inside the building, they will be led into the facility by “a wall of fish” guiding them inside. Aside from this, they have given choices of entering five main galleries; each is easily determined by an icon and signage at the entrance.

Here are the five main galleries inside the Atlanta Aquarium:

Georgia Explorer – is identified by a light house.
River Scout – displays a cascading waterfall.
Cold Water Quest – has ice covered stuff.
Ocean Voyager – offers a peek window into the huge habitat.
Tropical Diver – has two video screens presenting the perspective of a fish on a reef.

At these galleries, the guests are allowed to enter and then return to the main atrium prior to heading to the next gallery.

In the Atlanta aquarium, there are about 60 habitats with 12,000 square feet of viewing windows. It is specifically given that the acrylic used in the windows weighs a total of 328 tons. The largest of the habitats carries 6.2 million gallons of water and measures 263’ long x 126’ wide x 33’ deep, at its largest points. Also interesting to know about the Atlanta aquarium’s largest habitat is that it was specially designed to accommodate whale sharks along side ten of thousands of other animals that commonly thrive along a coral reef and out to the open ocean.

The Atlanta aquarium further boasts a 100 foot long tunnel and one of the largest aquarium windows in the world with views into whale shark habitat. The second of the largest habitat in the Atlanta aquarium holds 800,000 gallons of water, and it was specially developed to simulate the natural habitat of beluga whales.

With more than 8 million gallons of fresh and salt water and 100,000 animals representing 500 species from around the globe, it’s no wonder that the Atlanta Aquarium which was opened on November 23, 2005 is now considered as the world’s largest aquarium. At this spot, you’re sure to see things you’ve never seen before.

The city of Atlanta is not only the county seat for Fulton County, but is also the capital of the state of Georgia. History has it that the city was first named Terminus in 1842 and later changed to Marthasville, in honor of Governor Wilson Lumpkin’s daughter, and finally to Atlanta in 1848. It was named as the state capital on April 20, 1868 after it is incorporated as a city on December 29, 1845.

A myriad of great attractions can be found in the vibrant city of Atlanta. In the first place, it is the cultural center for the state with a wide array of arts available to the public. Top the lists are the High Museum of Art, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and the Atlanta Ballet.

To mention, some of the well-known festivals are the Georgia Renaissance Festival, Black College Spring Break, Sweet Auburn Festival, the National Black Arts Festival, and the Atlanta Dogwood Festival.

The city of Atlanta is also the primary to a number of great colleges, universities and technical schools. As you may know, there is the Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia State University, as well as the Oglethorpe University that make Atlanta their home. Also, being a city open for all Americans, blacks or whites, the city of Atlanta has currently four historically Black colleges and universities that are centrally located. Included in the list are the Clark Atlanta University, the Morehouse College, Morris Brown College and Spelman College.

Private colleges also made Atlanta their home and top the list is the Art Institute of Atlanta, DeVry Institute of Technology, Beulah Heights Bible College, and Herzing College.

In terms of the famous individuals that have lifted the city of Atlanta to where it is positioned right now, it is nice to note that Martin Luther King Jr., a civil rights activist, is one. The Martin Luther King Jr. Center was even established in honor of his name. Other praised personalities in the city are the golfer Bobby Jones, the comedian Nipsey Russell, and the author of Gone with the Wind, Margaret Mitchell.

Today, as recent statistics have shown, the city of Atlanta has a population of 416,474 persons. This number is considered to increase year after year as more and more people from around the world move to Atlanta to settle.

Atlanta is today’s capital and largest city of the state of Georgia. It is the county seat of Fulton County, although a part of the city is located in DeKalb County. According to certain estimates, Atlanta, Georgia has a population of 425,000, with the fast growing metropolitan area totaled 4,708,297, making it the ninth largest metropolitan area in the United States and the 41st largest city proper.

The Origin of the Name “Atlanta”

The Atlanta, Georgia area was originally inhabited by Cherokee and Creek Indians and was first names as Standing Peachtree. It was opened to white settlement in 1823 and since then it remained mostly woods until 1836, when the area was chosen as the southern “Terminus” of a railroad from Chattanooga. It is interesting to know that a local settlement known as “Thrashersville” was renamed “Terminus”, however in 1843 the town was renamed “Marthasville”. This name was patterned after the wife of the governor of the state of Georgia. But, the business community was concerned that such a name wouldn’t sell, and so they named it finally as “Atlanta”, which for many of the early inhabitants was a name much more marketable. Hence, from that start Atlanta, Georgia began as a transportation hub and marketing center. It was only incorporated as the “city” of Atlanta, Georgia in 1847.

Atlanta’s Climate

Atlanta, Georgia is geographically elevated and surrounded by a number of large bodies of water. Due to this location, Atlanta, Georgia experiences a climate much more temperate than the subtropical coastal area of the state, with extremes of hot and cold, as well as a high degree of seasonal temperature variation. Also, though somewhat offset by the urban heat island effect, Atlanta still has a climate colder than many cities in the southern part of the United States, despite its common nickname “Hotlanta”.

Religion

The cityscape of Atlanta, Georgia is in the first place heaving with a seemingly countless amount of large denominational churches and other places of worship. Perhaps this is due to the fact that Atlanta is the unofficial capital of the “bible belt”, which is a geographic region considered among the most highly religious in western civilization. It is worth noting that a large majority of the people of Atlanta profess to following a Protestant Christian faith. Aside from that, many people pointed out that religion plays a reasonably crucial role in their weekly lives. As a result, Atlanta, Georgia would arguably have the distinction of being among the most religious major cities in the United States. The city is now the seat of the Archdiocese of Atlanta, and is also a major Southern Baptist center.

Economy

Despite of the romantic associations, the city of Atlanta, Georgia has always been more a commercial city than an ante-bellum monument. It has been considered as the major hub of regional commerce, and the city boasts an especially strong convention and trade show business. In fact, numerous major national and international companies are stationed in Atlanta, Georgia or its nearby suburbs, and several business developments were further considered in Atlanta area.

The Atlanta Motor Speedway is by far one of the oldest and most popular stops on NASCAR’s Winston Cup circuit. It hosts the Winston Cup events each year, and crowds of nearly 250,000 fans from all fifty states and several foreign countries are there to witness the events. The records of 250,000 spectators have been considered as consistently the first and second highest attendance levels for single-day sporting events in the state of Georgia.

The Atlanta Motor Speedway, then known as Atlanta International Raceway was founded by a group of Atlanta real-estate developers led by Garland Bagley, seeking to take advantage of a super-speedway boom which was started by a successful launching of the Daytona International Speedway of Florida in 1959. The Atlanta Motor Speedway was built as one and a half mile speedway located twenty five miles south of Atlanta in Hampton. It hosted the first race on July 31, 1960, although plagued with financial difficulties and construction delays from the start. That time, it was recorded that 250,000 crowds braved the mud and unfinished facilities just to see Glenn “Fireball” Roberts win the inaugural event. Since then, the Atlanta Motor Speedway has hosted at least two Winston Cup races yearly. Included in the list are the numerous races in NASCAR’s Busch Series, races sanctioned by the Automobile Racing Club of America, and fourteen races for Formula One cars sanctioned by the United States Auto Club, Championships Auto Racing Teams, and the Indy Racing League.

The early existence of Atlanta Motor Speedway was spent struggling with the changing ownership and management of the track. It was, however, in 1990 when the speedway magnate Bruton Smith purchased the track and renamed it to what is known today as Atlanta Motor Speedway. He also transformed this facility into a state-of-the-art auto racing venue. From that time, several developments were done on the speedway and it was noted that Smith’s Speedway Motorsports, Inc. had spent millions of dollars for the expansion. With the expansion, 124,000 seats were made and 141 luxury suites, plus a nine-story Tara Place, which houses offices, banquet facilities, and 46 condominiums were added. The track was further reconfigured in 1997 when the start-finish line was moved to what was the backstretch and two doglegs were added to the new frontstretch to enhance the fan’s view of the racing.

The importance of the Atlanta Motor Speedway as a venue on the Winston Cup circuit increased just in 1987 when the track started a fourteen-year run as the site of the final race of the season. It was this event which made the fall Atlanta race particularly appealing in years when the Cup championship came down to the final point. Perhaps the most memorable race in Atlanta Motor Speedway history came in such a year, 1992.

Since the 1997 renovation of the track, the Atlanta Motor Speedway became the fastest and one of the most competitive tracks on the Winston Cup circuit. The speedway also became an ultra-modern, multi-purpose venue that has raised the bar of excellence. Today, the amenities in the area include a nine-story office or condominium complex, over 53,000 additional permanent seats, a road course, improved parking, a new ticket office, gift shop, and a four-color electronic message center.

As stories have revealed, the city of Atlanta was first founded in 1837 as the end of the Western and Atlantic railroad line. It was born with its first name, Marthasville in honor of the then-governor’s daughter. The city was also nicknamed Terminus for its rail location, and then changed soon to Atlanta, which means the ‘feminine’ of Atlantic – as in the railroad.

Atlanta, since its beginning, is a fast growing city. Today, it remains as one of the most well-known transportation hubs, not just in the United States but in the whole world. As you may know, the Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport is one of the country’s busiest in daily passenger flights. In fact, several direct flights to South America, Europe and Asia have transformed metro Atlanta easily reachable to the over 1,000 international businesses that have been operating in the city. Those flights are even what made the more than 50 countries that have representation in the city through consulates, trade offices, and chambers of commerce accessible. With all these developments, it’s no wonder that the city became a banking center and is highly considered these days as the world headquarters for 13 Fortune 500 companies.

For more than four decades, the city of Atlanta has been significantly associated to the civil rights movement. It was noted the Civil Rights leaders during the early days have moved forward, and they were the visionaries who saw a new south, which is the new Atlanta. With a strong belief in peace, they made monumental sacrifices for that peace, and it is them who are responsible for Atlanta’s rise. They have lifted the city into a fast-pace modern city which opened its doors to the victorious and successful 1996 Olympics.

It is interesting to know that throughout the history of the city, the die hard Southerners view the place as the heart of the Old Confederacy. Because of this notion, Atlanta has become the best example of the New South – a fast-paced modern community that stood proud of its heritage.

Two decades ago, Atlanta has undergone unprecedented growth. That time, the population of the official city remains suspended, at about 420,000. However, the metro population has grown in the past decade by nearly 40 percent, from 2.9 million to 4.1 million inhabitants. As the city had claimed, a good measure of this development is the ever changing downtown skyline, along with skyscrapers constructed in the Midtown, Buckhead, as well as the outer perimeter business districts.

Since the late 1970s, dozens of incredible skyscrapers designed and developed bu luminaries such as Philip Johnson, I. M. Pel, and Marcel Breuer have reshaped the city’s profile. Atlanta is now deemed as the Capital city of the southeast, a city of the future with strong bonds to its past.

The old in new Atlanta is now well-known throughout the world as the soul of the city, the heritage that improves the quality of life in a contemporary community. It is further interesting to know that during the turbulent 60s, the city was known as “the city too busy to hate”, but today, in the 21st century, Atlanta is “the city not too busy to care”.
