Damn, at least it was a win or else that would have really sucked. I wondered about the dome since some of the college games were hotter than balls Saturday, and of course there's no escaping that humidity.
My Atlanta story isn't as shitty as everyone else in this thread... I was there ~3-4 months one spring years ago and it was mostly fine. Stayed downtown, did all the downtown things when I wasn't working. The only downside was getting asked for money at least once per day each way.... and some people were kind of pushy about it (but never had any issues). Even leaving for the airport early one morning, some guy followed me a few blocks to the train station and all the way down to the gate chatting and asking for money.... besides the 3 other people on the corner he was originally with, never saw another person, but he didn't stab me or anything and didn't get any money. Years later and a number of cities later, it's still by far the most often I'd get asked for change (but again, a pretty minor thing in the grand scheme of things).

I've been to Marietta many times for work. It's actually very nice there..
Airport is a beating though, and traffic up to Marietta is awful

We joked last night that Taylor told Travis "No WAY am I going to ****ing Atlanta!" and that is probably true

They also have a world-class science museum, the Tellus Science Museum, in Cartersville, GA, about 45 minutes from Benz Stadium. I've only been to Atlanta twice, to visit a dear friend and her family and to run the Atlanta Publix Half Marathon with her each of the past two years. Had a wonderful visit both times. They live in Decatur, which is a very nice suburb, but the city itself also seems very cool to me. Good running community there, too.

We did a week long tradeshow downtown Atlanta about 20 years ago. It was actually kind of fun and non eventful as we stayed downtown and walked to the venue most days. About the only thing that stands out about it is that the people weren't all that friendly. |
