I didn't know you were in Atlanta. I was just back there for the first time since I moved, and the traffic...damn. 

Crushing.

 @d0154568 it's horrible and it doesn't take a day off. It used to. Not anymore.

I was staying downtown, were I hadn't spent much time before, and the traffic right in the middle of everything was much better than the fringes and OTP. Druid Hills and out by Snellville was ridiculous. Seemed worse than just a few years ago.

 @d0154568 Oh, Druid Hills is the absolute worst at rush hour. The worst. But the downtown 75/85 connector is a circle of hell, I'm convinced. Same with 85 in Gwinnett county.

I used to work and spend a lot of time in that area, and I had 5-6 hours before I had to be at the airport and thought I'd have lunch and stop at a couple of book stores. 
I did get to the book stores, but only for a few minutes, and had to skip lunch, the drive over there and back to the airport took the rest of the day. 
Insane.

I mostly avoided the interstates the whole time.
