Inline Skate Shopping in and around Athens and Atlanta Georgia ;)
Would anybody know about skate shops in Atlanta or Athens? I have set some time aside for shopping and visiting. I will rent a car on Thursday Oct. 2nd to check out the country side. Anything interesting besides the A2A course that I should put on my “Must See List”?

Skate Shopping Anywhwere Can Be Difficult Except Online
Hey and glad to hear you'll be coming down. As for attractions:
The one great attraction that I have been to other than to
Maybe eebee and I can meetup with you sometime while you're there. If not before,
Skate shopping can be tough most places since so many shop in person and buy online, but Skate Escape is a little shop downtown near Piedmont Park.
I've driven the course three times I think it is, and if you have the gas and time, it's a worthy pursuit. Make note of any construction or pavement problems and let someone in the event know of course. Photos of notable places would probably help.
When you get to Little Five Points there's a left onto a sidewalk where your car can't go. Just go to the next left, take that, and when you get to the street you would have taken from that sidewalk, turn right. Make sense? Ha! But take a look at that sidewalk too, as there's a drain on the far side of the sidewalk as you are skating back onto the street.
Please share your notes on roadskater.net before A2A if you ride the course, and on inlinenc too if you can! And let us know the places you go and what you think, good or less good. Hope you have a blast and see you there.
Party
