The Hawks are deploying an interesting PR strategy to court fans potentially disgruntled about the lengthy NBA lockout and short season: they're paying folks' tools on GA 400 tomorrow morning from 7 to 9am. In addition, Harry the Hawk, Dominique Wilkins and Hawks cheerleaders will be giving away knick-knacks and gift cards that can be used toward purchasing Hawks tickets. This should have an interesting effect on traffic in one of Atlanta's most sensitive traffic zones. [AJC]
