OUTDOORS - Walk along Peachtree Street!

Details

Welcome! We meet in a neighborhood at 18 Peachtree Circle NE, Atlanta GA, which has free street parking nearby, between 10:15 and 10:25 AM. Typically holding a RED FOLDER. Then we would walk on Peachtree Road. Typically we would go South towards downtown, occasionally going North towards Buckhead. About 1.5 hour walk, less than 2 hours.

This is at a medium pace to try to get towards Peachtree Center or possibly Downtown Atlanta, but if everyone agrees to detour or stop to see something, that is ok. Also, this walk is along the MARTA train and bus lines in case people plan on not doing the whole walk.

This is a friendly community event. :)

See you!

SPRING/FALL: typically 4:15 PM
SUMMER: typically 10:15 AM, to avoid the heat
WINTER: typically 1:15 PM, so not too early and not too dark
