I think they're going to stay in the Tri-State area myself.

You're right, with the busiest airport in the world, could have been a great match..

Dobbins would have been a better choice in my opinion.

Yikes! I like walking. My kids like walking. We have a great grocery store about half a mile from our house. So it is a fun and enjoyable activity for us to walk to the grocery store. We pick wild blackberries along the way, and we bring bags to pick up litter. We all really enjoy it! Every once in while. When we don't need a lot of groceries. And we have a large chunk of free time. And it's not blazing hot and humid. And all 4 kids are in cooperative moods. And rain doesn't look eminent. Could we walk exclusively? Yes. But it would be incredibly unpleasant and inconvenient. Oh yeah, and it's a fairly hilly half mile. Especially on the return trip. With the groceries. Mostly uphill. Would be miserable with 2 kids on a bike, and 2 kids riding along side. {shudder}

Agreed. I don't have positive, warm-fuzzies about GE...
