Atlanta & other stuff

Recently I came across a neat spot to layover in the Atlanta Area...
Greenbriar Mall. The mall is nothing to write home about, but it does boast plenty of parking in the area's around it. There's an IHOP (International House Of Pancakes) there. There's a Picadilly's Cafeteria there as well. They have roaming security there, so one might wish to use the "I'm delivering" routine on them - if needed. There's a Macy's there. Also notable is a huge Burlington Coat factory <good prices on stuff there. The Burlington Coat factory is the district store, so it's big. The mall is on the west side of Atlanta, right off 285 and the Langford Parkway, also known as Routes 154 and 166. There's fast food and places to eat around the mall. The mall itself doesn't have a whole lot though, infact their food court is nearly empty. The parking though was worth mentioning as was the area's around it. it's not far from 6 Flags of GA either - within 10 miles. Buford Highway in Atlanta, east of Route 400 has a Burlington Coat Factory & Marshalls Dept. store, along with a Loredo Boot & Western Wear store. There's parking there too, that I thought was worth mentioning too.

Exit 172 off of I-20 East in GA gets you to Greenwood, SC nicely. Good country, just watch your speed in the small towns.

We have parked at the mall before.
Good tip as parking can be somewhat limited in parts of Atlanta

BigBob, good to see you man! Smile! <43rd and 11th in NYC has the Market Diner, park on 44th> on the left side. Good food there.
Been goin' there alot lately. China Town in NYC opens on Sundays about 10:30 AM to 11AM... earlier on Saturdays.

Exit 54 on 95 South in VA has Mall, Golden Corral, and McDonald's... along with Diesel Fuel too.

Hwy. 17 near Giant Stadium has a Diner with Truck Parking... will get more specific info on it. In NJ, Garden State Plaza Mall is larger than Paramus Park mall. Let's see, what else? I think thats it for now... oh, exit 8 in NC on 85 South Bound side has a Waffle House with truck parking... slept there last nite next to 2 other rigs... AFTER runnin' Paramus, NJ, into NYC briefly, and then on down into Salisbury, NC "area".

Does 88 miles away still constitute as the "area"?? Smile!!!
