You might have noticed my fascination with writing blog posts on public transportation. I'm in it most days for one, but for some time I've been working on an Atlanta MARTA guide book. Things are on a roll again and hope to be finishing the book this year and have it available for sale. In the meantime I've built a companion Web site for some quick tips and timely information on current events in the city and how to get there on MARTA. The book will provide a little more detail and cover other topics, but the web site offers a great way to write a quick note and piece of advice to make things easier.
Upcoming Atlanta events this week include Screen on the Green (Dreamgirls), Thursday in Centennial Park, and the Virginia Highlands Summerfest on Saturday and Sunday. Both are great opportunities to hop on the train. The Summerfest makes my list of top 5 festivals (will post a blog about this soon) and it usually is a fun time. Here are the directions on how you can get to Virginia Highlands Summerfest on MARTA and party all you like or just avoid traffic and parking. Be sure to visit the web site again for updated information and directions to your other favorite spots.
