I'm planning a vacation. I'm thinking Georgia. Have you been? 
Yes I have spent a little time in Atlanta, the capital of georgia
Yikes, was it super busy? I live in Manhattan so I'm guessing it will be similar. 
It was pretty busy but nothing like NYC.  Its population is less than 1/2 a million, although it has a huge metro area
That's not bad. I can handle that. I wonder how old Atlanta is?
I am not sure exactly but I remember it was burned during the Civil War
That's interesting. I wonder how long it took to rebuild. 
I am not sure.  IT was the last state to be restored to the union however, not until 1870
Wow, being from the north I imagine most of the deep south to still be backwards.
Yes the deep south certainly has a very distinct culture
