Me, my wife, and a friend were there too! We especially liked the pro-America dogs strutting about - wish we brought our two mutts.
Only complaint was MARTA - what a fiasco! Supposed to be easier than driving down and looking for a space - it wasn't. Wait times at stops were 20 minutes plus, train kept stalling along the way.
It was worth the trip though. Loved the Kimmer's speech and reading all the signs. I can't estimate crowds well, was surprised to hear 25,000, I was thinking maybe 10-15 grand. Regardless, lots of flags flying. Happy to hear the Pinkmont Park rally was a bust in comparison. Afterwards, sadly watched hated Duke destroy UNC.

MARTA was running on only one track in sections on the N/S line. Apparently, management (how's that for a misnomer) didn't bother to run additional trains for the Auto Show or the Rally for America.

My wife and I figure that MARTA had more people riding the trains Saturday than what they see in a whole month of weekends. All the RoA fares will pay for another big-ticket MARTA Christmas party this year. 8^)
