thinking about moving to ATL...............

[JayPat83]

will i be welcomed?

[Qdemption]

Sure. Where are you thinking of moving?

Burbs, Buckhead, The Vinings, City...

ATL has a lot to offer. It is a great place to start a business or make money.

NFL, NBA, MLB, Ga Tech, are all in Atlanta. Weather is nice. Good nightlife. etc, etc.

What are some of your concerns?

I have lived 20 min outside of atlanta now for 20 years, any questions... just ask.

[JayPat83]

i'll be moving right off 675 on 75 actually. i'll be getting a job with a large plumbing co starting at 15 with company truck. looking to get intouch and meet some nico peeps!

[nametakennow]

What side of metro is that on? We need some southside people . Avoid Peachtree City (unless I can organize a meet down here) though... it's its own special world down here... ATTACK OF THE GOLF CARTS!

[JayPat83]

it is outside the perimeter if i am coming down 85 from NC i am going to go east on 285 to exit 52? i think that is the exit.

[nametakennow]

That's up on the east side somewhere it looks like (east on 285 outside the perimeter, unless you go all the way across town and then cut back and it's real short). Don't know much about east metro...

[JayPat83]

where do you live? i know alot of the metro and surrounding areas.

[nametakennow]

Between Fayetteville and the aforementioned Peachtree City, southside, southern/western Fayette County.

edit: Oh, I keep forgetting, welcome to the dirty south! We would be happy to welcome you (southern hospitality!).

[JayPat83]

dirty dirty.

[Qdemption]

Yeah, don't know much about east metro either. I specialize anything directly north of Atlanta.

I will say this, once you are south of Atlanta, even by a couple of miles, there is nothing. South of Atlanta, IMO, sucks.

[JayPat83]

i'm like 20 mins from jimmy carter blvd.

[Qdemption]

Ohh, that is not bad. You will be right in the mix of things.

What plumbing co. will you be working for? I work with a guy who is in the Union with the largest plumbing company in the southeast. They do all the hospitals, big buildings, and such.

[JayPat83]

M&S in Locust Grove on 75 south.

It does for the most part. However, get on Highway 85 and go past Fayetteville toward Senioa (south), but turn left on Connector 85 (connects to Hwy316). Best drive I've ever taken. I've got a friend who lives in Pike Co. and I can't wait to go down there again just for the drive... drool...

[JayPat83]

i think the farthest down 85 i've been is Newnan. isn't that down 85? or is it 75?

[MainEvent212]

dude no, move to arlington...tons of plumbing work here! and the ARL is the spot to be!

[Ladybug]

i lived in atlanta for four years, and absolutely loved it.

i lived north in a lil town called Woodstock, went to KSU....fantastic music scene in downtown atl.

[NICOmom]

Good luck in whatever you choose to do. I hope it works out for you.

[JayPat83]

thank you NICOmom. man ladybug, woodstock is way up 400, near Tenn. huh?

[audtatious]

Looks like you will be in yuppie-ville area. I lived in Suwanne area for almost 10 years (few exits past 316 split on 85N). I love the area, but absolutely can't stand the traffic.

Good luck and give yourself 2+ hours to work the perimeter at 5pm....

"Avoid Peachtree City (unless I can organize a meet down here) though... it's its own special world down here... ATTACK OF THE GOLF CARTS!"definately, its not really anything like the real world here, peachtree city kinda reminds me of that movie biosphere.

nametakennow- im me or somthing, i know some nissan people by me, we could do somthing on a saturday afternoon or somthing since we are all so close

[nametakennow]

I don't think 85 goes through Newnan. 54 does, it hits 85 up in Fayetteville, so... maybe you hit 54 and didn't know it.

[JayPat83]

it's settled! i am definetly moving by the end of May. hopefully the move won't interfer with the big May 15th meet!

[nametakennow]

YEE! We have another dirty south NICO member!

[JayPat83]

i talked to my brother today and he said the buford dam was on the way to ATL from NC off of 85 or 985 or something like that before you come to 285 and the perimeter. is he correct?

[JayPat83]

everyone will have to come to my apt. after i move in to meet up, sort of like a greeting the new local nico neighbor :-)

[offtheline]

Im in the downtown/midtown area. If you ever come into town, let me know.

[navysnail]

cool, so were are you moving to

[JayPat83]

off the salem bridge rd. exit on 675/75 give me some exact locations guys. i used to live and work in ATL all over the damn place so i am very familiar with it.

[JayPat83]

how long have you had the car offtheline? pimp! love your exhaust look. what brand? now that i'll be making $#!t-ton loads of $ in ATL i'm going to do the FULL 300zx brake upgrade, KA-T to about 280 to the wheels, and finally get the damn thing painted professionally!
