Update: A Guide to Playing Pokemon Go in "Sixes"/Bridgemill in Canton, Georgia

As a followup to the post I made on playing Pokemon Go in Sixes/Bridgemill I have some new information in a couple of areas I wanted to expand on.

The nearest double pokestop to Sixes:

*drumroll*



It's in Holly Springs at the Train Depot. Specifically, it's in one particular parking spot in the training depot parking lot (assuming you don't want to sit in the intersection). You can also reach a gym from that same parking spot.

The other pokestop of the pair is at the Covenant of Peace Church across the street. The gym is at the Centennial Time Capsule plaque. You can only reach the two pokestops (with the bonus of the gym) from that one parking spot. Not even from the one next to it. So get there early! Well, actually don't go there at all during the day because Holly Springs is doing construction for a new downtown and that intersection is a mess at the best of times.

What intersection you say? You  could call it the intersection of Holly Street and Main Street, but you'd be wrong. Or you could call it the intersection of Main Street and Hickory Road, but that would be wrong too. If you called it the intersection of Hickory Road and Jackson Street, you'd almost be there. It's actually more like Hickory Road and Palm Street. This area really is a mess, but once you're in that spot you can just spin those two coins every 5 minutes and fight or train that gym forever. Or read your faces book or your tweeters or whatever you're into.

Why is this the best spot to get balls near Sixes? It's the only place you can sit in your car at two pokestops at once that is within 11 minutes of the entrance to Bridgemill. 10 minutes if you live closer to the ass end of Bridgemill by Allesandro's.


Other confirmed double pokestops nearby:


There's a double pokestop at the Krystal burger.
You can reach them both from inside, or in the drive through. I'm not sure if there's a parking spot that can reach them both, but I think so.

On the way to Canton in a strip mall.

There used to be a paranoia haunted house next to the church in this strip mall (Action Church of Canton). No one tell Niantic it's moved. There's at least four parking spots you can reach both pokestops from, if not more. Actually, this is only 8 minutes from the closest Bridgemill entrance, but it feels farther than Holly Springs, so shut up.



In Canton:
 in the front of the Canton Police Station (2 or 3 parking spots by the boy and girl statues)
and at the Arts Center by the cemetery (behind the justice building snug up against the cemetery).

That's not the only reason to go to downtown Canton. Canton has the best drive through pokestops in the area bar none and the traffic is way better than Woodstock. You can drive the loop once or twice and have enough balls to fill your sack. Or you can walk around and have enough balls to take on a gym or three. I think it's a better place to play Pokemon Go than Marietta Square actually, and that place seems quite popular.

There's a few more around as well, but I've not confirmed there's a legal place to park yet, and none as close as Holly Springs.

Again, leave a comment below if you think you know better than me.
