On paper, downtown Atlanta has everything going for it: energetic leadership, gleaming hotels, state-of-the-art sports venues, an expanded convention center, major universities and some big-time attractions in the works. Mayor Shirley Franklin wonders if the city might need some "peach pizzazz." "I've done seven national searches," she says, "and each [person] who moved here from other cities asks me, 'Where are the peach trees? Where are the magnolias?' Do we need to add peaches to Peachtree Street? It sounds hokey, but I think it would be great! Why not associate Peachtree more with downtown activities? We could have a Peach Concert Series or a Peachtree Walk." Make no mistake: there's plenty happening and more about to happen in the roughly three and a half miles that make up downtown, defined by the Central Atlanta Progress (CAP) and the Atlanta Downtown Improvement District (ADID) as the area north of Interstate 20, south of North Avenue, east of Northside Drive and west of Boulevard Drive.

On paper, Georgia has one of the most powerful governors in the United States. But Georgia governor Sonny Perdue has relaxed his grip on the levers of authority and, as a result, lost one battle after another in the 2003 legislative session.

Lientz lacks political experience, and his marching orders are to steer clear of politics. Eric Tanenblatt is Perdue's chief of staff. Tanenblatt, who led George W. Bush's 2000 campaign in Georgia, has plenty of political experience. However, he must tiptoe through the peach blossoms to avoid colliding with Lientz.
