LOL

Anyway - make it easy, folks. Take MARTA, wear the good shoes, take money, leave the pets at home, and put the babies in a baby purse or other such device.
I see people on the Freedom Park path with monster strollers all the time. They aren't suburbanites.

But yeah, at an intown festival, the big strollers probably belong to people who drove in, and they have all those supplies (granted, far more than they really need) because they can't just walk down the street to their house to get supplies when (NOT if) their kid falls in a puddle or craps it's pants.

I wound up driving there this year because I had other places to go later, but yeah, MARTA was the better way to do it.

My experience and some photos are on page 3 (near the bottom) of the festival thread ( Things To Do: Inman Park Festival this weekend.. (couple of pics, too) )

I was lucky though - got there before 11am on Saturday, so was able to find parking in Little Five Points.
