Atlanta is going to have an international terminal at the airport. On May 2, a practice day was held. Since PG has too much free time, he volunteered to go help.
Maynard Holbrook Jackson Jr. was the first black mayor of Atlanta. He served three terms, and saw a fair amount of controversy. The new terminal is names for him, as is the road to it. The name of the overall airport is Hartsfield-Jackson. Mr. Jackson is now staying in Oakland Cemetery.
The new terminal has been years in the making. In 2004, PG helped run preliminary plans. The customer required the job to be run from a cd he supplied, and it was a mess. It had a lot of drawings, in numerous binding packages. The final results look nice.
There is not much of a story. The instructions to find the parking deck worked. There was little traffic going south on I285, in contrast to the parking lot going north. The bridge across the road led into the terminal, just like it was supposed to.
It was a very pleasant morning. Everyone was nice, including the TSA folks. PG kept his shoes on. The customs agent chatted about finding an ATM in the terminal.
PG was asked to find the ATM and restroom. The ATM was nowhere to be seen. The restroom was spacious, and had a urinal design that PG had never seen.
The longest wait of the day was for the baggage carousel. After a second trip through customs, PG went upstairs and got his lunch. He also got a souvenir coin, with the Phoenix logo of the city.
