Yes i forgot to say that I live in downtown Atlanta. I am always by myself and drive a car so it takes me a little longer to get my chair taken apart and in the car. There are a lot of people from all walks of life that will approach you to offer help, most of the time legitimate folks. I always kindly decline but some will have other motives, like asking for money usually.
