Perfect music for the ride. Smooth and sunny.

Thank you, I thought it was a good fit.

$2.12 a gallon for gas, I see.

Good work, as always!

[Freewayjim]

$2.30 for regular now.

Thanks!

Those gas prices were pretty!!! Wish they were like that now!

[kambridge967]

It looks hot as hell out their

[rickhh1]

18 cent difference in just over a week. Blah.

Gosh, now that I rewatched this video, why does Roosevelt Hwy(US 29) very strangely remind me of Main Street/Jonesboro Road(GA 54) that runs through Jonesboro and Clayton County, but with less development than GA 54 has? And I'll make an educated guess it probably has less traffic, too.

[Freewayjim]

Thank you!

I use a Sony HDR-HC9 (MiniDV) the footage was filmed in 1440x1080 and uploaded in 1280x720.

[wipandco]

Well I guess it's 720p. What HD camera do you use?

[wipandco]

What frame size is the video you uploaded? Watching it full screen was a real pleasure, and the song fits the laid-back ride. Thanks for it!

[Bryant5493]

Didn't you film that in one of your videos? That might've I-10, though.

[Freewayjim]

And who can forget the Bankhead Tunnel (US-90) in Mobile Alabama :)

[Bryant5493]

As an aside, that's where the rapper T.I.'s from -- Bankhead (located along U.S. 78/278/S.R. 8).

[Freewayjim]

Thanks!

Bankhead has nothing to do with Buckhead in any way, shape or form. Bankhead is a neighborhood (a very rough one at that) west of Atlanta.

[JcBrooks651]

I always wondered is Bankhead a real neighborhood in Atlanta or is it a nickname for Buckhead?, lol sorry i know it has nothing to do with the video which is awesome by the way gotta love the HD

[FreewayBrent]

Your HD camcorder is awesome; enlarging the video to full screen allows me to see so many details; it really is like I'm actually behind the wheel.

[Bryant5493]

Can't remember that exact bookstore, but I remember Waldenbooks being next to Sears.

The only thing by Rich's that used to interest me was -- drumroll, please -- KB Toys (lol).

[Freewayjim]

There was a bookstore there back in the day (forgot the name, it was near Rich's) that was worth the 30+ minute ride down, yeah it is pretty sad now.

[Bryant5493]

Yeah, it's amazing how far that mall has fallen off. Sad really. :-(

[Freewayjim]

Yes, the Shannon Mall area, which is dying a slow death it seems.

[CollinsHill09]

You should make a video following US-29 south from downtown ATL to Newnan. It's a neat drive to see how quick everything changes.

[CollinsHill09]

Yes, it is pretty odd how undeveloped that area of Fulton is compared to the rest. I've been on 138 off of the 85 exit, and it is all businesses and restaurants. I was suprised how rural Union City was at US-29. I'm originally from LaGrange, and down there the train tracks still follow US-29 up till the AL border in West Point.

US 29 becomes a divided highway in my homestate of virginia.
