...highlights at EdVenture in Columbia, S.C., which opened last November, is a simulated indoor jungle. Toddlers can fish, hunt for bugs and climb mini-trees in an engrossing exhibit that engages their senses with the sights, sounds and even smells of the outdoors. Similarly, the Children's Museum of Atlanta, which opened in March 2003, has a forest in which preschoolers can don multicolored raincoats and play under a 250-gal. waterfall as they learn the basic scientific properties of water. "It's very difficult to get kids to leave," says Kathleen Reese, as she watches her daughter Alexandra...
...would think a recovering global economy would be good for a company like Coca-Cola. But the Atlanta soft-drink giant has been facing multinational malfunctions. In February, India's Parliament alleged that Coke's soft drinks contain pesticide residue. (India levied similar charges against PepsiCo.) Meanwhile, U.S. investigators are probing whether the company oversold its product in Japan to pad short-term results--a practice known as channel stuffing. In Britain, the press has been ridiculing Dasani, Coke's purified-water brand. It turns out Dasani does not flow from mountain springs in Switzerland but from the taps...

...just happening in New York. Dance battles are popping up at venues across the U.S., including Atlanta's popular club MJQ Concourse and Miami's Opium Garden and Prive (the site of a much-lampooned Britney Spears-Christina Aguilera dance skirmish last year). "In the clubs you see a lot of battles nowadays," says dancer Wade Robson, 21, creator of the eponymous MTV show. "These dancers are also incredible gymnasts, and they incorporate all styles of dance, from tap to salsa...
...footwear has gone high fashion, making notable appearances at the Luella Bartley fall '03 show and Christian Dior's fall '04 show. Fashionistas aren't the only ones slipping them on; they have also won fans among teens and hipsters in Los Angeles, Atlanta, New York City and Dallas. "You see dozens of pairs of them at rockabilly shows," says Kathy Schriever, owner of Dallas' Planet Sole, one of a handful of stores in the city that carry creepers. The shoes are being snapped up by both men and women. Celebrity stylist Phillip Bloch sees the return of the clunky...
