Atlanta Does Well in the Fortune 500 List for 2006

[ironchapman]

I was a little surprised that we were still ranked so high with the loss of GA-Pacific and BellSouth.

We're still #3 in the nation with 13 companies (BellSouth, which is still counted on the list of Atlanta companies, I did not include. With BellSouth, we still would have 14).
