This is not news to most of who have daily commutes in Atlanta - however, the comments after the article are very interesting and very entertaining.

Glad my commute is a 5 minute drive (8 minute cycle, 15-20 minute walk)

Wow...lucky you!

My husband and I are currently working on the same plan

What part of town do you live in and what area do you work?

Same here, live in Oakhurst, office in Grant Park. Commute is 5 miles and wouldn't change it for the world.

Make it happen LynnHarris! You won't regret it.

Out of curiosity, how do you get from Oakhurst to Grant Park in 5 minutes? (perhaps i'm not familiar with some back ways)

Right on Memorial, Left On Maynard Terrace, Right on Glenwood, Left on Gresham in EAV, Right on Ormewood, you're there. Pretty simple. To be fair I said 5 miles not 5 minutes, but it really doesn't take much longer than that.
