I know I’m telling my age, but I am planning a reunion of the Company I served in between 1969-1970. Yes, it was Vietnam and I spent one year as a grunt in A Company, 1/12th Cav. Why is this in my blog, you say? Well, I couldn’t think of a better place to have my fellow Troopers meet than in Lenox Park.
I have blogged about Lenox Park before and mentioned it was a Planned Unit Development located in Buckhead, Atlanta’s preeminent shopping and restaurant neighborhood. Within Lenox Park, the residential and commercial areas were defined in the plan, and a hotel was part of that. The Residence Inn Marriott was built many years ago and now offers a quiet retreat within the bustling Buckhead neighborhood. The men I served with can stay in a nice hotel and use the meeting room facilities off the lobby, and when we host the reception in our home in the evening, they can walk to the event. Atlanta is a city that you need a car, but once in the hotel in Lenox Park, you can take advantage of the free parking and not be behind the wheel unless you wish to travel unrelated to the reunion. I should add, Atlanta’s rapid transit system is a short walk from the hotel, and the hotel offers free shuttle to it, and local shopping malls.
We are meeting over Memorial Day weekend and I’ll blog more about this after the event.
