HELL YEAH!

Gov't Mule, Dream Theater, Ben Folds, and Tenacious D to name a few.

It's a great spot for concerts IMO. As far as friendly, well, not the friendliest place in the world, but this is in a pretty busy area and safe as anywhere I'd say.

As for dining etc, you're never far from a Steak N' Shake or Chick-Fil-A in Atlanta, but what are you in the mood for? A bit more upscale? The Sun Dial Restaurant at the top of the Westin. Get an aerial view of the town while you spin. They have some good steak there...awesome.
There's a great little Thai place not to far from the Tabernacle...ugh, can't remember the name. I haven't been there in...geez, 3 years now.

Man, I miss Steak n Shake...
