The opening scene with Rick and the girl zombie... I think I found the shooting location.

33.650744,-84.670086 - Google Maps

Check out Cascade Palmetto Hwy and the way the trees and road painting.

there's even a Texico gas station nearby.

and this link as well has a walking dead pic

To me the gas pumps where he was looked a lot like Sheetz's gas pumps.

In the seventeen-minute video that came out before the premier, didnt they show the street signs at that location? I'll have to check again when I get back from my trip...

The exact location to the opening scene when he shoots the zombie girl is at Cascade Palmetto Hwy and Campbellton Fairburn Rd. The Gas station they used is a Texaco / Charlie's Corner Market. Go to Google street view and you'll see. It's a 2007 image, but you can clearly see that's the place. Watch the opening scene and you can see that huge radio tower as he's walking down the hill. :)
