copperhead Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Peachtree City. It's a bit south of ATL, but it's probably their equivalent of our New Albany or Powell areas, only bigger and more spread out. My company has their training center there, i've been down there 4 or 5 times, and I will say that it is a VERY nice area. As for ATL itself, I have no idea, as I've only been there long enough to leave the airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff1647545513 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Fuck that airport, it's too damn big. I hate trying to get around in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excell Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I go all the time. Stay out of Atlanta Underground after dark. Atlanta is huge, what part will you be in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I just got back from the real Atlanta.. it's a sea of ghetto surrounding a few nice areas. They have some really cool bars, but some of them aren't for white people. Me and some friends wanted to go bowling, just a cheap Friday night at the lanes right? We walk in and are the only 5 white guys in t-shit and jeans in the place, and it's a mid/high-class rap/r&b dress-up bowling alley. Some black chick was yelling at us crackers to get the fuck out followed by other random stares all night, it was bad. So anyways, research before going anywhere. Every club seemed to have its own click whether race or whatever else. Freakin white people, they think they can just show up anywhere and ruin a good place to hang out...

ODoyle Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 The freeways are massive..18 lanes..and that shit is a parking lot at rush hour. I'm not sure where I stayed exactly but I was in the 404 area code, and according to Ludacris there are ho's there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1647545498 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 There's some good chinese food there in their asian district. It's in the north east part of their outer belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverMaker Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Try the Ritz Carlton. Was in a good location when I went last year. Wasn't that expensive either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 im not worried about nightlife or going out to any bars or bowling alleys. we're gonna drive down monday, stay the night, hit the aquarium tuesday, stay the night, and drive home wednesday I go all the time. Stay out of Atlanta Underground after dark. Atlanta is huge, what part will you be in? thats what im trying to find out. we're heading to the aquarium they have there. as long as its not over a 20-30 minute drive, im not too worried about where we stay, as long as its not in shithole part of town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morabu Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 i'm down there all the time, the other half of my fam is from there. if i were you i would stay just north of downtown Atlanta right off of I-85 in Marietta/Kennesaw, very nice suburb with lots of things to do and places to eat, only about 15-20 mins from the middle of downtown. Stop by the mall right there as well, MY GAWD the girls! also hit up the coca-cola factory downtown, big as hell and good way to kill some time. thank me later, J.R.

Vander Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 I was born in Atlanta, in Buckhead. The Georgia aquarium is absolutely amazing! I got to pet small sharks and stingrays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbot Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 They are out of gas down there so be prepared. Charlotte is as well, though it is getting better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
