Nicole Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 I'm going to be in Atlanta during the first week of January. I doubt that I will get a chance for a meetup or anything like that since I will be attending a conference. However, I do have a little bit of time for shopping and I was wondering if anyone knows any good shoe and/or female clothing shops in the downtown area. the truth shall make you fret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the pointers. I will certainly get a map of Atlanta before I take off so that I have some idea of where exactly these places are. In the meantime, can you tell me if any of these places near MARTA stations? ( I won't have a car). Thanks the truth shall make you fret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary0618 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Sorry Nicole, I have been to Atlanta quite a few times, but I have always had a vehicle. I could not even guess where the MARTA stations are. There are many more places. The Buckhead area in general has some nice shopping. Good luck with your shoe hunt!

Nicole Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 To answer my own question: >AJS Shoe Warehouse 1788 Ellsworth Industrial Boulevard, Atlanta, GA 30318, 404-355-1760, Atlanta's largest and most unique women's shoe warehouse, this shoe store offers over 30,000 pairs of designer shoes, as well as hats, purses, belts, and jewelry from Europe. The closest station is Arts Center which is close to 2 miles away. >Shoemakers' Warehouse 500 Amsterdam Ave NE Ste 500A Atlanta, GA 30306-3470 Cross Street: Monroe Drive Phone: (404) 881-9301 The closest station is Arts Center which is over a mile away. >DSW 1 Buckhead Loop NE Ste 205, Atlanta, GA A cavernous discount store with than 30,000 pairs of men's and women's shoes. Closest station is Buckhead, less than a quarter mile away. Looks like Buckhead is the place to go, at least if I want to get away from downtown. Thanks again. the truth shall make you fret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary0618 Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Nicole, They do have Taxi Cabs in Atlanta. LOL Do you have DSW's in CA? If not you may be in for a treat. I shop at one in Marlton NJ and 2 in the Philadelphia area. You will have a blast! Let us know how your trip goes.

Nicole Posted January 5, 2005 Author Share Posted January 5, 2005 Nicole, >They do have Taxi Cabs in Atlanta. LOL they also have busses, and i got a weekly pass. in any case, i can't afford shoes, so i certainly am not going to spend money on a taxi ride to a shoe shop where i will not buy shoes. >Do you have DSW's in CA? If not you may be in for a treat. I shop at one in Marlton NJ and 2 in the Philadelphia area. You will have a blast! this is the first one i've been to. i quite liked it, and had a good time. >Let us know how your trip goes. tomorrow, the job interviews start. the sightseeing is basically done. thanks for the dsw tip. the truth shall make you fret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary0618 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Nicole, Job Interviews? So you are moving from Sunny California to Atlanta? I was looking at the Athens area, about 45 minutes NE of Atlanta. I am tired of the North East Winters, and have visited Atlanta a few times, looking around at the business climate. What field are you looking to work in? Gary0618 FLAT SHOES, LIKE FLAT DRINKS, ARE FOR FLAT PEOPLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole Posted January 9, 2005 Author Share Posted January 9, 2005 I'm at a conference. I am not (necessarily) moving to Atlanta. I'm a math student,about to get a PhD, and I am looking for work in academia. the truth shall make you fret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary0618 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Nicole, How was your trip to Atlanta? Did you get to visit any shoe stores? How about the job search? Gary0618 FLAT SHOES, LIKE FLAT DRINKS, ARE FOR FLAT PEOPLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thousands without telephone and power. No heat and nothing running including the airplanes at the airport. The ½" to 1" of ice covered everything. Real hardship. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole Posted February 14, 2005 Author Share Posted February 14, 2005 Nicole, Sorry I didn't respond earlier. I haven't been on the forum for a whole. >How was your trip to Atlanta? It was great. >Did you get to visit any shoe stores? I visited DSW- that was the only one where I seriously browsed. I looked at a couple of other places. >How about the job search? A lot of positive interviews in Atlanta, but the process is fairly slow, so not much progress since. I do have a phone interview with one place (Central OK) on Tuesday. Thanks for asking. The weather in Atlanta was great when I was there. A week later, and of course it would have been a different story. the truth shall make you fret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
