Zombies. Vampires. Bow-wielding heroines. There are a few reasons Atlanta has become known as Hollywood South. More than 300 productions were shot in the state last year, including The Walking Dead, The Vampire Diaries and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,out this week. (If you're counting sleeps.)

That big- and small-screen imagination extends to the city’s bars, kitchens and theatre troops, says Chad Eikhoff, the founder of TRICK 3D, a local animation studio. In my Insider feature for The Globe and Mail, Eikhoff shares his five picks on where to find Atlanta's creative talent from JCT Kitchen's angry mussels to a Hunger Games hub. Enjoy. Just watch your back.

Blog bonus: Atlanta Movie Tours offers zombie and location tours in the capital. Or as they put it, Braaainss!

    Mint-green van

    It started with a 1979 GM van. Throw in miles (and miles) of Canadian scenery, sisters, dogs and my Dad's Crystal Gayle tape and what do you get? A love of travel. And yes, this travel blog.
