And... travelling north from Atlanta's Garnett Station, the same continuous piece of pavement is variously styled Peachtree St. SW, Peachtree St. NE (crossing Five Points), Peachtree Road (north of I-85), and then, Peachtree Industrial Boulevard (crossing I-285, where it becomes a freeway until crossing Jimmy Carter Bvld, then reverts to a four-lane boulevard), which it remains until it reaches S Waterworks Rd in the little town of Buford, GA, some forty-five miles away from Five Points.
'sfunny, I never really got lost in Atlanta. Sometimes I would get off-track, but if I knew I was inside Perimeter, I knew I'd hit it eventually, thus finding myself again.. but I usually managed to hit one of the major arterials before then... *outside* perimeter could get fun, because Chamblee-Dunwoody road goes around a corner... *twice*. If you go straight at either of those points, *you won't be on that road anymore.* Oh, and calling 911 around there has got to be a nightmare... Fulton County got tired of running sheriff's deputies from Palmetto to past Alpharetta, so they passed a law that there will be no unincorporated Fulton County, and every one of those little suburban hamlets thus created has its own cop shop.
Not that calling 911 for other than fire/rescue is such a great idea anymore, but ... yeah.
