Saving Money - Tips - Vacation at Home

I dream of a freight trip around the world, a train trip through the West but next year my plan is to get a 53.00 MARTA Breeze card, take my trusty camera and systematically tour and document my home town, Atlanta and environs. In order to do this I need to approach it as though I were a real visitor and plan my trips. Perhaps I could also combine this with some real travel writing.
