Atlanta has several nicknames, but some of the most famous are probably "Terminus" (its nineteenth-century name when it was a rail center), "The City Too Busy to Hate" (applied during the Civil Rights Movement), "the ATL" (from its airport code), "A-Town," and "Hotlanta" (especially appropriate in July and August).
