Atlanta I-285 Endless Loop

[Beach Runner]

In ATL this week there was a missing 79 yo woman. They found her driving in continuous loops around I-285. Really funn (not). I totally avoid 285 due to the aggressive 18-wheelers. I'd rather sit in traffic on the connector.

Didn't a new Atlanta Falcons player do that (that is, get lost and do loops on 285) about 15 years ago? :scratch:

I've done loops on 285, I think it was about 2-3.

Yes! I remember that BR, but I thought he was a Braves player. He was teased to death about that little trip! Didn't he miss the game or either very late??

I dunno. I'll have to google it. Keywords, anyone?

Former Atlanta Braves pitcher Pascual Perez missed a 1982 game where he was supposed to be the starting pitcher, by circling I-285 twice. Thereafter, his nickname was "Perimeter Perez."

I thought that would be too obscure to find without drilling down. But it was the first hit! Thanks, SWGB.

Sounds like purgatory.

I think that's what happens to sinners, an eternity of 285 with the occasional break to I-95 rush hour through Miami.

You also need to work the Dan Ryan in Chicago while under construction and the DC Beltway in there somewhere.
