Yeah, so far from what I saw, it looks like Roswell Rd is just a lot of stop-and-go...Move 3 feet forward, stop for 5 minutes, move 5 feet forward, stop for 4 minutes...

that's about right for that road. I don't have it too bad in that I get to hop on the access road to I-85 for a couple miles where it's more like highway driving and not stop and go for part of my trip to work. There is really sharp curve that's fun to take going kind of fast right before you hit Spring street heading into midtown.

6 is a bad time on Buford highway as well. i have found that if i leave work right at 5:30, i can usually beat the traffic. if i leave past 545, then i'm stuck right in the middle....the only other option for me is to stay at work late but i don't really like doing that

HAHA, that's our biggest giveaway. I once went up to Purdue to recruit and someone brought a huge bag of Sharpies to give away (500 to 1000). Once all the colorful ones were gone, I ended up force-feeding all the black ones to old friends on campus.

That's cool.
Did you go to Purdue?

Nice...I hear Ball State has a great architecture program. I've actually never been there, but I always saw tons of billboards for it on my way to Indy Airport

Yeah. "everything you need" right. haha. Cool, man.
So are you moving to Atlanta from Indiana or are you living somewhere else now?

Massachusetts seems like it would be a nice place to live. I live in the Lindbergh area--it's an area halfway between Buckhead and Midtown. It's just off of Peachtree (believe it or not
). I work in Midtown so for me everything is pretty much in the same area.
