the recruiter that i have been talking to gave us a bunch of zip codes to look into. The apt that we are looking at is in Marietta, I gave the address to the recruiter and he is going by this weekend to check it out…I’m not gonna have to worry about morning traffic too much, since I’ll be working 2-11pm, but one of the landlords that I spoke with did mention to stay away from the 400. One of the things that I am most worried about is my car, since I have a brand new car, i’m worried about it getting broken into, stolen, etc…Believe me, I want to get into a nice, safe area, but I don’t really have much time to look…so any pointers on which areas to stay away from will be very much appreciated!! ---

The address for my office is 5775 Peachtree Dunwoody Rd. (30342)…I don’t care if its a boring area, i don’t plan on staying in the same place for too long, its just gonna be temp until I get familiar with the area and have time to look for something better. ---

If thats the case, I would suggest avoiding Marietta then, that commue would effing suck. It may seem short but that is the worst part of town for traffic. I have some friends that live in Sandy Springs / Dunwoody which is a lot closer and would be more convenient. There are tons of places right around there, you should be able to find somewhere easy. You should call ProMove. They do free apartment hunting and were really helpful when I relocated to the area. ---
