The interior at Swinging Richards, which bills itself as "America's gay male strip club," is like a Hollywood set that is trying to reproduce a Las Vegas sin palace that is trying to evoke someplace in ancient Rome. Large and decorative columns foster part of that effect, and a unique wall-mounted sculpture (which cannot be described here) engenders the rest. None of which matters a bit to the patrons of this large and rambling establishment. During one visit, although mostly men surrounded the runway where performers (clad, semiclad and otherwise) strutted, in one corner a bachelorette party appeared to be getting into the swing of things. Visitors to the nightclub should note that patrons may not wear either short skirts or short-shorts on the premises.

Located in Alpharetta, American Legion Post 201 is a veterans organization situated on a 13-acre piece of land that also features a war memorial paying tribute to Georgians who have served in the Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard, and their families. The American Legion Post 201 features military equipment and a nearly 8,000 brick walkway. Inscribed on the bricks are the names of those who fought bravely for their community and country.
