Let me "pile on". I never felt unsafe in Atlanta and there was a good
choice of restaurants. As for Albuquerque I just hope we go back during
the tourist season when more things are open.

Mike

I would agree with Pat - as downtown venues go, it was certainly not as
bad
as some that we have been to, and in comparison to some of our all-time
worst venues (DFW, Danvers to name a couple) it was excellent. Maybe not
in
the same league as our very best venues (Vancouver and Montreal spring
to
mind there), but definitely acceptable.

Tony
