I commute from Roswell to midtown, and I can say that the morning ride from Holcomb Bridge road to North Springs station varies from 15-45 minutes everyday, and the red line from North Springs to Art Center Station is about 20 minutes. GA 400 traffic is bad from 7 AM to 9:30 AM, and the train ridership has been going up over the past year ( some mornings if I am late to the train, it can be standing room only.) I do get a lot of reading done on the train, and more often than not it is more relaxing than fighting traffic in and out of Atlanta. Also, Roswell has been a very pleasant place to live for the past 8 years. There are a lot of awsome parks ( some dog park areas where dogs can be off lead), good recreational programs for my kids at both the park centers and at the Y, and the way of life has been a little more relaxed. <br>

It's boring. Like any ATL suburb when you're young and stupid.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br>"The most important thing to remember about drunks is that drunks are far more intelligent than non-drunks. They spend a lot of time talking in pubs, unlike workaholics who concentrate on their careers and ambitions, who never develop their higher spiritual values, who never explore the insides of their head like a drunk does." -- Shane McGowan<br>
