Bankhead AKA Hollowell AKA Veterans Mem.
Guys, In the last year I have spent litterally many hundreds of hours on the Hollowell section of old Bankhead - as well as the rest of it (all the way to Douglasville) DUe to work. I know it VERY well. You have two distict types of SW's on Hollowel. A) Lot Lizards that work the truck stops and B) local street ho's. The street Ho's are 999.999 black with about a 80% fat/ugly/insane/sick/crackhead, 15% local girls that are part timers trying to stretch the food stamps & welfare, 5% Pro Ho's with all the bells & whistles.
The lot lizards move via the truckers and were liable to be in Miami yesterday & Ohio tomorrow. Lot lizards are a lot like produce at a farmers market - that is ,seasonal & market prices. Here is where the pros :) get on their trusty CB radio & just call up room service. If your a white boy (like me) take some advise. Only cruise the T/A truckstop, the liquor store & the three gas stations on the corners of 285 ramps. park so you can see behind the (Shell?) station next to the truckstop. look up in the woods between the truck stop & the 285 N bound ramp... see all the people hiding back there? Remember, your best "cover" is a map. Cops don't want to help some lost asshole find their way back to alpharetta. Do not let a local lure you away from the freeway area. If you find something you just gotta have, take it to a Hoe-tell on FIB or at least go WEST on bankhead till your IN COBB & ACROSS THE RIVER. there ae some safe (nice) grocery store & fast food parking lots about 2 miles from the freeway in that direction. Your not in Disney land here folks... keep one in the chamber or better yet use a wheelgun (it can get to be a mess scrounging around the ground looking for all that brass)
