      - What's it like downtown? If I'm, say, a mile away from the aquarium, is it an easy walk? - kelly Jan 29, 07:29 9
        
        I wouldn't want to be on the other side of i-85 from it. -- nm - Reagen Jan 29, 07:37

        I’m not trying to make mountains out of Atlanta hills, but it’s certainly a definite walk. Very doable, but not nothing. -- nm - Qale Jan 29, 07:37 3
        
        sure. not nothing, but it's no san fran. -- nm - colin Jan 29, 07:37 2
