Has There Ever Been a City-Data Meetup? (Decatur: required, places)

We'll need to have a meetup at a hotel, because you two need to get a room.

Don't forget to get a room big enough for DreamerD to fit in there with us!

However, you now want seperate meet-up in a location from a pre-determined list of locations without good-walkability and transit access, likely in Cobb and by invitation-only to people who think like you?

Darn straight, I am negative about that. That is a really sad statement on the division that people like you have furthered in metro Atlanta.

Sounds like the Braves move to Cobb?!

I think yall are looking to deep into this lol. I have hosted probably over 50 Meetups and generally speaking everyone acts right.

I think we should have a meet up at PCM and then a bike ride along the BeltLine.

^^^Outside at the new Shed would be a great location

That's a good idea. I'd ride my bike over there.

Agreed! That would be an awesome location.

I think we should continue to do regular open-to-all public meet-ups at locations that are centrally located, accessible to all by car / transit / walkable (bikeable) hopefully we will get a good mix of people. If others really feel a need to do their own invitation-only / car-only meet-ups because they are fearful of people that don't think like them, so be it.

But man, that is disappointing. There could not be a better example of division that the Cobb-minded have created in this region.
