Post by gulogulo » Fri Mar 24, 2006 3:17 pm

I will be driving to Atlanta next week to visit family and was wondering if anyone knows a good lfs in the area. While it is unlikely that I would bring anything back it is a possiblity. I am well aware of the difficulties of such a transport so it would have to be something extraordinary (plus I'd have to convince my wife it is a good idea :wink: ).

You might want to check out the route. That way you could maybe pick something up on the way back. :D
I see that you will be coming from Wisconsin. If you are going through Champagn, Ill. I have heard there are some good stores there, but don't know anything about them including location.
If you are going to be driving down I 65 through Indiana, you might want to stop at Aquarium World in Lafayette. Its not far off the interstate and is a favorite store of mine.

Thanks all for the info. I'll share anything I find.
Jim, its a long trip plus kids so stopping on the way back won't be feasible, unless we stop to eat right next to a pet store. :wink:
