Atlanta is much more like Dallas or Houston, but with even > more street people. There's a hard edge to the homeless there that's kind > of scary. As a regular 0200--0400 walker of the A-Town, know that the streets mentioned thus far are well-lit, well-walked, and well-patrolled. They make up the heart of our downtown tourism/convention corridor, and are defended as befits such earners. Yes, panhandlers (they're very rarely homeless, especially after shelters close admissions at midnight, just unskilled and unseemly) walk around and ask for money. Think of them as street vendors selling crab juice or something similarly unpalatable; they're engaged in a trade, and don't want to call down the wrath of APD through violence. Home Park? The SWATS? Carter Street? These places are indeed to be avoided, which you will do for the same reason you avoid, say, active volcanoes -- it becomes rapidly apparent upon approach that you're out of your league, and attempts to secure transportation in that direction earn quizzical stares. The central hotel areas on downtown Peachtree are absolutely safe unless you scurry around with big bug eyes looking like someone about to get mugged. In summary: we don't rob people here, really. We do shoot them, but we shoot them far away from where you'll be. If approached by panhandlers, ignore them, or refer them to the people behind you, or ask them their opinion of BGP security, or wonder aloud if they "really want to mess with the inventor of STP" (if you happen to be Dr. Perlman, or even just claim to be so). They're professionals, and will move on to less auspicious/eccentric targets. In the meantime, enjoy our world-class nightlife and cheap cigarettes. --rigorously, nick -- nick black http://www.sprezzatech.com -- unix and hpc consulting to make an apple pie from scratch, you need first invent a universe.
