Actually, you will. Blondie and her beer-crushing bazoongas are like a local treasure, and have been featured in ad campaigns, news articles, and visitors guides.
I would definitely visit the Flying Biscuit in Candler Park. This is set to become a chain, and the two newest locations are crap, but the original Flying Biscuit in Candler Park remains a true culinary landmark. Mary Mac's tea room is the preferred comfort food destination, though Agnes & Muriel's offers more modern takes on the classics. Also, Collonade is the revered home of all that is fried chicken. And it's attached to a hotel that fights tooth and nail every weekend to NOT be a sex club (notorious Chershire Motor Inn).
Check Ticketmaster for concerts, as we get a lot of good ones. Best venues for out of towners to get a unique experience would be Tabernacle (converted church in downtown) Variety Playhouse (intimate and small, gets some serious names), and Chastain Park (outdoor venue, some very high end tickets there).
