I used to go to piedmont park back in the 70's, I wonder what's changed?

The sexual orientation

I was at Piedmont park Monday, for other reasons:

I run/walk this every year, it ends at Piedmont park downtown.

Not a thing! You can still go there for the same reasons you went there in the 70s

Choice hotels are usually nice for a reasonable price. Breakfast, Wi-Fi, fridge and microwaves are usually included; http://www.choicehotels.com/ires/en-...-srp=RACK&find=

I usually go for the Comfort, Comfort Suites or Sleep Inns. Some of the Rodeway and Econolodges can be in seedier areas and they are more like no-tell motels.

I thought Atlanta had a Ritz, ga better not be putting us up in some dive.

Here is a hotel that offers a pretty good package:

https://wwwc.druryhotels.com/MetroArea.aspx?id=ATL

• Free Breakfast (more than a box of cereal & doughnuts)
• Free Hot Food (5:30-7)
• 3 Free cocktails on the house (5:30-7)

Make sure that you call their group reservation line. Remember to look up a couple other hotels in the area & negotiate the price. Hotels will negotiate lower than you think.

Well, what part of Atlanta is it in. I would think we'd be in a suburb close to the host.

GA was talking about having something at the American Legion in Duluth on Saturday so I'm calling a few hotels around there to get a group rate. Map Link The Drury hotel closest to that area is in an area with not much around it. Mostly commercial and strip malls.

There is one in south Atlanta in an area called Morrow for less then $100 per night at group rates.

WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!!! 16 rooms booked and 6 correct!!!! And this was just in our group!!! Ladies up front where rude with NO HELP!!! One told us "she just works here", "there is nothing she can do", and yes...she was behind the counter!!!! We were told that our room with 2 doubles was now a king size bed. 4 WOMEN with a king size bed. NON smoking rooms were now smoked filled rooms. The manager up front told us "A room is a room..." There is no guarantee what you get". OH to add...these rooms had been reserved since January and it is September now. People had to sleep on floors and chairs....with NO extra pillow or blankets to be given out.....they told us they had NO MORE!! We asked for help getting another hotel so all the ladies could stay together and we were told "NO"! Our group was NOT a group anymore. I would stay clear of this hotel....its a joke!!!! Even though we stayed...we when left we were not greeted at all...no have a good day...sorry for the trouble...they got the keys backed....and walked away.

Should we be packing heat for this area?

OH! Read the reviews for Colonial Grand at McDaniel Farm ...it's hilarious.

[FlyersFan]

No heat necessary for Duluth area. Morrow, maybe.

Yeah, Morrow is not the best place to be after dark.

I found this Holiday Inn, it's weird, I went to hotels .com and the price was 110.00 a room per night. I then went to Holiday Inn Duluth reservation page and they quote a room at 77.00 a night. Anyway ,this hotel has smoking and non smoking rooms
