Atlanta's 'Millenium Gate' Draws Mixed Reaction

by Philip Graitcer, NPR

The city of Atlanta is getting a new monument Friday. The $18 million "Millenium Gate" looks a bit like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. But it sticks out slightly because it's sandwiched between skyscrapers, retail stores and apartments. The arch is the brainchild of Atlanta native Rodney Cook, who hopes it gives the city a new icon. But local residents have mixed views.
