Kip Dunlap joins the show to share his thoughts on Atlanta and the best things to do and see on a weekend trip to the city.<br> Kip is active in the community and has a genuine love for Atlanta that is not blind, he works on various improvement projects but always has time for a bicycle ride around town (which is also how he commutes) or a cup of coffee.
