Re: Segway

Downtown Atlanta is one of the most Segway friendly areas I've found. They have wide sidewalks, and the hotels don't seem to mind if you [responsibly] glide through the lobby to the elevator. And while I haven't used a Segway on MARTA, they allow bikes onboard so I'd assume they'd also allow Segways if you really need MARTA for some reason (like if you're staying at a hotel that isn't in the downtown area).

The only annoying part is getting from downtown level (everything in downtown Atlanta is actually like 50-100 feet above the real ground level) to the GWCC/Dome level. It takes a lot of ramps and elevators.
