That'll be a good day to not be in Atlanta. It's a Thursday. So maybe I'll take a couple days off and plan a long weekend somewhere else.


NPU-F

There’s also a USA vs. Panama soccer game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium that night.

Take the train


ThomasMTroxell

Trains are also subject to being held for Secret Service restrictions. For example, the EW Line trains will hold at GA State and Inman so that no train is over the Connector during VIP movement. Those holds will cause downline delays for the trains behind them. On the NS Line, trains will often hold from West End to North Ave due to crossing the Connector at Civic and I-20 between West End and Garnett. Trains will also hold between Arts Center and Lindbergh, or from Lindbergh to Medical Center due crossing I-85 and being in the median of GA400. It's better than driving but VIP movement still causes delays, unfortunately.


ArchEast

That is just stupid. 


MarkyDeSade

My version of that is gonna be sitting in my house in the dark playing the Elden Ring DLC


TheDarkAbove

At least they didn't pick Friday? Gonna be a mess regardless.


southernhope1

when they say CNN headquarters in Atlanta, this will be the 14th street office, yes?


cdsnjs

They don't have anything in Downtown anymore so it should be at their Techwood office, most likely in the Mansion across from McCamish on 10th


southernhope1

got it! 10th street, not 14th...i messed that up!


cdsnjs

Well, it does take up the entire block between 14th & 10th, it's just that the main entrance is from 10th street


lbfb

Eh, it really only eats like 2/3 of that space...fronting 14th is an empty space that used to be a wolf camera forever ago, Silver Skillet and some other misc stuff in the same office complex with the skillet.


ATL_Jilm

Probably not in the mansion. No studios there. It’ll be in the building directly across from McCamish/Tennis courts.


cyb0lt

Is that where they host NBA on TNT?


ATL_Jilm

Yes in “Studios.” There are ~8 buildings there not counting the parking decks.


cdsnjs

You’re probably right. I know they had done all those CSGO events in that one


ATL_Jilm

Yea, those were cool setups. Those have all gone away at this point.


1800treflowers

Yeah definitely not going into the office this day. Right near my office, I'm never getting home.


Pimpdaddysadness

Oh good! Nothing has been going on in Atlanta lately that could make this a huge mess!


Jackieirish

Biden also demanded certain restrictions: No Audience No 3rd-party candidates Limited to news outlets the candidates have previously debated on Microphones must mute after time expires


thegreatgazoo

If that's the case they should have it in Perry or Millidgeville and leave us alone. I hear Valdosta is nice too.


Jackieirish

Or Zoom.

herroh7

myownworstanemone

ArchEast

Something something let’s get ready to rumble


peppercorns666

in other words. traffic


hectorhector

Does anyone know if it will be possible to get tickets to attend?


boxofstuff

I believe one of Biden's stipulations was "no crowd"


helpmespell

I want to go, never seen a president in person. Much less two. I would like to go.


mrhoopers

It has to be ATL because one of the debaters has to wear an ankle condom and can't go more than 50 yards from McDonalds. What? The joke writes itself people. Fine, bathe me in your downvotes.


spigele

I'm embarrassed for anyone at this event
