   I was in Atlanta yesterday and I MARTAed to the Five Points station
to meet my brother at the Atlanta Hilton. Anyway, I had to walk about a 
block to get there, and I got hassled pretty bad by some of the street 
people wanting a handout (one guy actually followed me the whole block 
yelling at me -- I almost ducked into one of the stores to get away from 
him). I've been hassled before, but never this bad. Does anyone have any 
tips on getting around downtown Atlanta in relative peace and safety?
   I feel sorry for these people, but still.... geez!
