Oh great. At least my typo will live on. Even if this thread doesn’t.
I was not
Not me. But there are about 10 days a year where Atlanta gets weather like this. It is what it is.
I'll still take my chances with Hartsfield over O'Hare or (God Forbid) LaGuardia or Newark.
No but I've been stuck in Ohio for the last 30 years so in my book you win.
Touché. I lived in Kentucky for 5 years and it was hell. Can only imagine what Ohio is like. Is there a place worse than hell?
It wasn't THAT bad...
ms. dudeness, you promised to self-ban earlier this year. please keep your promise.
This is going to the mod sticky. You should be banned for this unprovoked attack.
attack? just reminding you of a promise you made. asking someone to keep their promises is hardly an 'attack'. mgotri said a nice thing about you. maybe you could display more of that around here if you're not going to keep your promise. xoxo
I didn't type one fucking word toward you and you couldn't help yourself but come at me because you think it's funny. It's not. You're a fucking child. Go fuck yourself you piece of shit.
If they mods won't take care of this then I guess I have to.
His dudeness is actually a nice person when you get to know him. I met him at an almuni club event in Kentucky.
Thanks buddy! Still in Boston?
What’s going on?
Thunderstorms say over the airport for a few hours and everything in and out got delayed
We had a bad storm push through. Lots of rain.
got stuck there on business the night of the nat'l champ football game, UGA v. bama. the game was of course in atlanta. made it to a hotel that was rather raucous watching the game. sipped a beer and had dinner. watched the rest from the room.
no thank you to atlanta. i hope others enjoy it, but i'll pass. good luck mgotri. you racing this year? if so, where/when/what distances? i have a short one scheduled for 8/19.
Quit the triathlon game when I moved out of Kentucky to Boston. Too much traffic to keep up the cycling.
Ill be repping the block m at half marathons in October and am thinking about dexter Ann Arbor next year
During summer of 2016 at this time we walked up the ramp from a plane that arrived in Atlanta from Panama City, Florida. I turned to my wife at the half-way point and said we were in trouble. People were wall-to-wall in the waiting area due to severe storms that held up everything leaving. 8 hours later, we were the last plane out and thankful for it.
Regrettably, I am a Diamond Medallion on Delta so I've been stuck in ATL a few times. My rule of thumb is to travel through DTW in the warmer months (avoid the inevitable 4 PM thunderstorms that close down ATL) and travel through ATL in the colder months (avoid the inevitable Detroit blizzard). Of course I am traveling through ATL next week so hopefully I won't suffer the same fate.
We fly Delta a lot out of Atlanta. They have been terrible lately, from customer service, to check in/baggage issues, and overselling flights. So bad that we'll be flying with other carriers from now on.
Well I live here, so by definition I’m stuck here.
Hartsfield is one tough mistress, but I’d rather face her any and every day of the week over the likes of O’Hare or JFK. My wife and I were flying home from Rome last year and had to connect through JFK (was far cheaper to connect vs. fly direct to Atlanta), and we taxied for over an hour before we took off. I swear we made a lap around the entire airport.

Just had that same flight with the same result a month ago. Alitalia?
Way "it"?
Are you playing tag or are you drunk posting or both?
Atlanta's airport isn't exactly in a convenient location, but there are definitely worse places to spend a layover.
I got stuck in Atlanta for Ice-a-geddon v.2 in 2014. Was supposed to have a half dozen meetings with CNN, TBS, etc over three days but woke up to a city encased in ice the next morning. Pretty much everything except the restaurants in the Omni were closed the whole time.
The highlight of my trip was when the Waffle House next to Centennial Park opened the morning I flew out.
Per diems don't go very far sitting in hotel bars all day, I found.

I flew out of DTW during that. De-icer broke and had to get another one. Took us 2 hours just to take off, but it was an international flight so we got out of there.
Years ago I got stranded in Atlanta for three days. The whole ordeal was insane, including a temporary landing in Alabama. But the highlight was that in the seats next to me were two brothers (probably in their mid-30s), whose mother had given them multiple giant bags of homemade dinner leftovers and who were nice enough to share. So while we circled Atlanta and sat in Birmingham for hours, I got a massive meal with salmon, mashed potatoes, etc.
