How long does it take to drive from Peachtree & Ponce up I-85 to Fry's?

From my office in Midtown, it's about 22 miles. With good traffic you can average 70mph on I-85...so that would take you about 20 minutes.

You going there today?

Yea, i needed to run up to Lenox mall for a few things before the wedding this afternoon and thought i may swing past up to the Fry's, then back down to Lenox.

Unfortunately, since im the only one w/ a rental car, i may have to drive some of danielle's friends up to the mall too. Hope they don't mind the detour. ;)

Been in the ATL since 1991. (Was at GA Tech from 1998 until 2002.) No, I don't mind.

It's about 30 mins from GT (which is on the other side of 75/85 from where you are)
