I looked at the website and found a way to sign-up for the Global Night Commute by city, but no information on where the designated place will be in Atlanta. Do you know where the place is?

I spent several years living in various parts of Atlanta from the late 70's and throughout the 80's. I question whether any place downtown could be considered safe for sleeping in the streets. I recall that local laws back in the day prohibited sleeping in the streets. I question whether FIRST could sanction such an activity for anyone participating in the Championship. I'm sure my team would not permit it for any of our students.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
