I for one have to say, "thank you" for this thread. I was considering attending these<BR>
meetings which look to be very interesting. But, considering that there is no parking<BR>
and getting around sounds like a nightmare -- I don't think I want to take the time to<BR>
come in from Gwinnett and struggle to find parking let alone have to trek great distance<BR>
to get there. Too bad....<BR>

You know - if a campus is a "couple miles" across, and the
powers that be want people to access it, the powers that be
really need to consider a jitney/shuttle bus/automated bumper car
service for those with largish loads etc. I really am all for
people walking to and from, but after 20 minutes mechanical
assistance is appreciated when in a hurry!
