Atlanta's coordinates fall between 33 and 34, and -83 and -84. It doesn't divide neatly. Shall we plug all four locations and meet wherever's closest to actual Atlanta?
- I'd say no. The vast majority of Atlanta falls in the 33,-84 grid. But then again, I'm an hour south of ATL. ^_^

May 12 Meetup
How was this? Did someone end up going?
May 23 Meetup
What great luck, to get a place right off I-85, and with what looks like a parking lot, no less! I've been looking at the satellite and I think we're meeting at a gym; my husband thinks it's a middle school. What do you think it is?
I was thinking it might be a YMCA so i checked.. and I think this is it I won't be going today though...
sunsnail - Are we meeting in that open dirt field, or are we meeting off the road? There is a meeting everyday. If you are going Friday you are meeting in the parking lot. If you are going Saturday you are meeting in the open field.
