Atlanta Wake up!

'10Anamoly · 07-07-2010, 09:16 AM

I'm sticking to my previous suggestions, just not into the coffee shop meets/etc. Dave and Busters isnt too bad of an idea with the parking lot size. Forged is not central to anything really, its up off I-75 North on Cobb Parkway so I dont think its a good meet point. No offense intended to Forged but going up I-75 after work on a weekday is a no-go, the traffic is horrible on Cobb Parkway and on the highway headed north.

I'd show up sometimes and other times would head to a shop to hang out. Depends on how the crowd/location was for the monthly meets. Is there a D&B somewhere near the perimeter or middle of Atlanta?

most normally though i think weekends would be better for the monthly idea anywho.

also i just thought about how we shouldnt have a parking lot idea for the monthly meet because we can have an exclusive monthly z meetthat shifts and does different things.

we can all also try to make the C&O meet each month and caravan there together as well. That can be our parking lot meet.

There is a D&B in Gwinnett. I think there is Malibu Grand Prix on that side of town too. Just throwing that out there.

Central location is relative. You have to realize there are guys coming from Kennesaw, Rome, Alpharetta, Gwinnett, maybe a few from South Atlanta, etc. With the majority of the guys coming from North Atlanta, and us being right off of the interstate I feel it is a central location. I was just offering the location up, if you guys don't want to do it here that's no big deal and no offense is taken

We do happen to have a D&B within about 2 miles from here as well

Central is not relative, central Atlanta means central Atlanta. Local is what you are talking about (or Central to Forged). Local would be what is close to the group in Marietta, etc.

That being said, if mostly everyone lives in Marietta and that area and the meet is there, the non-local people who dont want to be in traffic forever probably wont come. I've been up I-75 numerous times on weekdays and it isnt worth it for any car meet honestly. I'd rather meet up somewhere where everybody drives a little to get there.

(Refer to my previous comment about enjoying the drive in my car, assuming its not in dead stop traffic)

Besides, the meets off Barrett at the Starbucks are a joke

. If that is the idea about the monthly meet is to drive up I-75 in traffic and then head on to a Starbucks near there, I'll save my gas.

Well, by that viewpoint central would be downtown Atlanta. I doubt the majority here would want to hangout/park in downtown Atlanta. Seeing how most the owners seem to live north of Atlanta, it would make sense to meet somewhere north of Atlanta. If you have a meet in Gwinnett then the Kennesaw/Rome guys have to drive quite far. If you have a meet in Kennesaw, the Gwinnett/Alpharetta guys have to drive pretty far. Finding somewhere in the middle would be nice, which is what I meant by Central. I did not say central Atlanta, I said a central location. So yes, central is relative and is dependent on who is coming and where they are coming from. The general consensus seems to be that everyone wants to meet on the weekend, which eliminates the traffic factor. Somewhere around 285 between I75 and I85 or close to it would be perfect IMO for most. Since you seem to be against Forged we will remove that from the options. I simply offered it up because guys said they wanted a shop/part install option. I also agree the Starbucks on Barrett is a joke. Lets here your suggestions for places. I think D&B and Taco Mac are great suggestions. Perhaps something around the Perimeter/Dunwoody area is better for everyone?

see the easy solution to this is moving it around : )

lets face it, not 100% of people will come to every meet. Based on attendance we can rotate/move it around. I mean comeon were all smart here, a little adjustments / dyanmics won't hurt no one. : )

but appreciate the Forged guys offering their shop. Im sure sometime we'll do that.

Maybe we should take baby steps! lets work out August!

August might be a good time to do a slightly later meet, do some detailing, installing cus of the zcon.
