BULL****

If she parks at the extreme northwest corner at LS (next to the Westin hotel) and walk from that point to the corner of East Paces Ferry and N Fulton Rd it will be 1 mile which would take between 10 - 11.5 minutes if she walk at 4.2 mph and all the lights are green

That shows the path not going to Buckhead Atlanta LOL. It's about a 20-25 minute walk between Lenox and Buckhead Atlanta.

Google maps shows 26 minutes/1.3 miles.

Ant wins this round. it's 1.3 miles between Lenox and Buckhead Atlanta (At 3035 Peachtree Rd.)

I have no idea what part of Buckhead that previous map was pointing to. 1 mile down peachtree (which has pretty decent sidewalks along this stretch) isn't TOO bad.

In Manhattan short blocks, it would be about 26 blocks or so.

Earlier it was direct path down Peachtree, it auto-adjusted based on traffic :P

There is also Bus service between the two locations. How bad could it be for 1 mile? According to Google it takes about 11 minutes.

A 26-minute walk is nothing for people who have lived in larger cities LOL.

That bus runs once every 15 minutes at rush hour, and once every 30 minutes during the day. Useless, and it's one of MARTA's better routes.

It's not walkable, let's be honest. The OP is driving to the location. You could walk from Lenox to Phipps, but I believe there is a shuttle, so that's pointless. Why would anyone drive to Lenox or Phipps, walk to Buckhead Atlanta and then WALK back to their car. I walk everywhere and I would not walk from Lenox to Buckhead Atlanta, especially in the summer.

Tell me about it. If it's over 10 ft in distance it's too far for the average Atlien

The shuttle doesn't run directly between the two, and it only runs at rush hour.
