Re: [85attendees] Initial Atlanta experiences

When I arrived Peachtree Ctr Stn on Friday night around 9.00pm, I
chose to walk on street to Hilton. After the first block, I was
"followed" by a panhandler who "accompanied" me to Hilton. "A little
bit scary" - as you stated. But I safely arrived at Hilton and he
politely asked $2 for his "service". :)
