heard alot of horror stories about parking around thereYou can see the parking from the bridge. It's about 50 feet away.

I go all of the time and never have any issues, but when you go out at night anywhere in downtown Atlanta, you have to know how to carry yourself. I guess I don't worry about it because I have lived here for so long and don't even think about it anymore.

Security doesn't let you take pics on public place like Jackson Bridge?

So it isn't safe to go there and take picture at night? I guess I have to bring my buddy to watch my back while taking picture. Thanks all for the info!
