Directions to a place in Atlanta.....?

Good afternoon all,

I am going to be attending a convention at the end of the month in Atlanta. I was looking to get my hair cut and someone mentioned a great place called the Bob Steele Salon-the address is 4403 Northside Parkway. I will be flying into the city early and will probably get in around 11 a.m.-since I'll be relying on MARTA, does anyone know if this address is accessible either via the subway or any other form of mass transit? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

that address on Northside is NOT accessible by Marta. it is on the northwest side of the Atlanta close to Cumberland Mall and some IBM facilities. the Marta train unfortunately does not have a northwest line that goes towards Marietta (which is a big problem IMO).

if you MUST go to this salon and you don't rent a car, I suggest taking a taxi or car service to the address.

from the airport, the driver should not take you thru downtown but use I-285 from the airport to the Cobb Pkwy exit, which takes about 20 minutes and avoids the downtown traffic. Drive south on Cobb Pkwy a couple miles and it turns into Northside Pkwy.

from downtown, take I-75 north for about 3-4 exits to Cumberland Pkwy. Turn left on Cumberland, turn left on Nothside Pkwy.

if you are not staying in a hotel close to the northwest side, I say get a haircut closer to you.

Marta will get you close to the salo, but I'm not sure how close.

Try utilizing Marta's maps and train routes. Compare that with using Yahoo Maps, enter the address to the salon as the destination.

Since you don't live in atlanta use a local address as the start such as the hartsfield-jackson airport.

You should be taking "Route 12" on Marta to Northside Parkway.

Yea that 1st answer is great because I wasnt even sure what city Northside Pkwy is in... if anything you can always catch a cab when you get off the train there are usually tons of em out in the front of the station and the drivers are usually good around the city
