Avoid anything that is neat downtown on i24. As far as the caves and the battlefield go I have never heard of any issues at either place. You don't usually get to many thieves wandering the battlefield. Don't get me wrong even if it's one off of shallowford Rd of i75 be careful but you generally have very few issues at those. At exit 7 Lee highway and Jenkins you have allot of section 8 within a mile or so of them anywhere near i24 you get a lot of homeless people prostitutes and junkies not to mention allot of gang members

Thanks for the info. I75 exit 1 or exit 5 Shallowford are the plans. Looking to save a few dollars but add some sightseeing.

He's pretty much covered it. I lived in chatt for 20 years and my wife's family and my sis still live there. I visit at least once a month. Going downtown for food and aquarium you won't have any problems. But if u stay downtown, residence inn is decent with well lit parking lot that I've stayed at numerous times in a soft top with no issues as well
As the new Hampton inn.

Tamales from Delia's? Pick me up some and drop them off on your way by!

Honestly, they really only help if you're the first vehicle. Otherwise you're just blinding people. Not to mention it really makes it a pain for the spotter if you have light bars on.

Very true. Good reminder, Thardy. Always better to have too much than not enough WHEN THE NEED IS THERE! No fun being the recipient Mr. Sunshine's ego trip!
