As an Atlantan, you likely have your list of must-do's for out-of-town friends and family. This week's Best of Atlanta poll features your favorite landmarks that help define our city's identity.

A landmark is defined as a significant building or place that is easy to see and recognize, usually of historical importance. Our city has these important markers in abundance.

While we recognize the landmarks that we know and love, we also tip our hats to the landmarks of the past that no longer grace our landscape.

Don't see your favorite Atlanta landmark on the list? Nominate it in the comments below.
