2010 SCY Nationals

Dispute it all you want...but having taken too many trips on marta, I will take my chances driving in atlanta. And the GT campus is fairly calm area. Across i-75, that's a different story. Actually, Tech is on the "worse" side of 75, across 75 is Midtown, which is actually quite nice and where most will probably stay. I don't see any need to drive after you get to your hotel, as you can take cabs or Marta everywhere from there. I will admit Marta can be a bit sketchy downtown but if you are going north to the Buckhead or Perimeter area, you'd be an absolute fool to drive when you can get there on Marta in 1/10th the time and not have to park in that mess. Atlanta is a huge city, with all big cities have, good and bad. I think it's wrong to paint Marta as dangerous. I've taken it a zillion times and have never felt the least bit threatened, nor would my wife take it if it were dangerous.
