At Turner Field, the parking lots are designated by colors. The sign for the Blue lot is red.

On many of the buildings in the heart of Atlanta there are small bronze plaques that commemorate the location of historic landmarks that used to stand in place of the modern businesses and offices. Where the Confederate Battery used to stand is now a building featuring a Black barber shop called "Goodfellaz."

Quizno's raised their prices.
