Hilton Atlanta shuttle/taxi

[R. Rankin]

OK, this is the sub-map you want (below).  It covers the main downtown area including 5Points and Peachtree Center.  You can click on "zoom" after the map loads until you get good legibility.  Peachtree Center is in big red letters so you can't miss it.  Courtland St. runs N-S basically right thru/under the center.

And it *is* the Peachtree Center stop where you want to get off the train.  The hotel is right close by -- just ask one of the merchants in the Center (it's a big shopping center all indoors) or a cop for directions.

Thanks to Linda this should save everybody flying in a bunch of money.

> It's coming back to me now.  As I recall, Peachtree Center is sorta-kinda across the street from the Hilton Towers (and maybe south a little?), so that's probably the exit you want.  I *think* you walk east from the MARTA stop, but you'd better check a map.  I'm sure we can find a map of downtown ATL on the web somewhere.
