Perimeter Center is an ideal location for a convention since it is so convenient to so many Atlanta attractions. The hotel is located within walking distance of Perimeter Mall with it’s many fine stores including Bloomingdales, Dillards, Macy’s, Nordstrum, Abercrombie & Fitch, Ann Taylor, Brooks Brothers, and many others. Local dining includes Maggiano’s, Cheesecake Factory, McCormick & Schmick, McKendrick’s Steak House, Season’s 52, The Wildfire Grill, Fire Of Brazil, Chequers, P.F. Chang’s, and Garrison’s.
MARTA has rail service from the Atlanta Airport and the station at Perimeter is just a short walk from the hotel. The hotel has unlimited free parking and motor home can be parked in the lot, but hook ups are not available.
Some of the Atlanta attractions available within a short drive are the new Atlanta Aquarium, Six Flags, The Fox theater, Stone Mountain, Grant Park Zoo, and Kennesaw Mountain.
As always the Hospitality Suite will be open 24/7 unless another event is taking place. The Hospitality Suite has always been the cornerstone of The Silver Falcons Conventions with free beverages and snacks available at all times as well as our Country Store. The purpose of the convention has always been, and always will be, to give our members the opportunity to socialize and drink and relax with old friends in the Hospitality Suite while everyone tells and listens to lies, exaggerations, and half truths about what made the job so good (AND IT WAS!) Stories about Connies and Electras, and 720s, and 727s, and Martins, and Airbus, and all the others never grow old and never grow dull – they simply get bigger and better every year! C’MON TO ATLANTA AND LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL! WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU WHOEVER YOU ARE. “THERE I WAS – UPSIDE DOWN AT 30,000 FEET WITH ONE ENGINE OUT AND MY CREW MEAL WAS COLD!”
