Robertics? I should go call up Uncle Robert and let him know they're having a competition for folks like him. ;)

To avoid straying from the topic, it looks like it's a pretty good deal if you're planning on taking three or more trips per day.

To avoid straying from the topic, it looks like it's a pretty good deal if you're planning on taking three or more trips per day.If you are staying at the at any of the hotels near Peachtree Center, the MARTA passes are a really good deal. Only having to to the end of your block to get to the Peachtree Center subway station beats having to walk a mile to the Georgia Dome.

While in Atlanta, if you really want to play a good prank on some of your teammates, tell them to run up the entire flight of stairs (not the escalators!) at the Peachtree Station before you get there. Last year, it was fun watching our driver as he ran up all eight stories of stairs. :eek:

But to be nice, if they actually do it, offer to buy them a bottle of water afterwards. ;)

And yes, even the escalator ride seems to take five minutes! :yikes:

RUNNING UP THE STAIRS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA!!! Those stairs are ENDLESS! I would never attempt to run up those stairs.

Buying one of those MARTA passes is a good idea though. Last year, we flew to Atlanta from Virginia so we didn't have any other means of transportation. The MARTA system got us around Atlanta wherever we wanted to go. You wouldn't believe how many people can fit into one train ;-)

My team has come to a conclusion that those are the
ESCALATORS OF DOOM
They seem to never end, the opening sequence to one of our movies is us coming up them.
We bounced a bouncy ball down them and it is the best thing you will ever see in your life

hmm.....slinky-time!!!! I am SOOO trying that this year

I always get a kick out of how new and exciting people find atlanta. To me its just Atlanta... my home.... I have been up and down those stairs/escalator countless times.

As supreme ruler of Atlanta, i welcome everyone.

Luckily, I have it. The vid is like 7MB and I have 20MB of university space so I will host it for a while. I don't know how much bandwidth I have, so let's see shall we?
