August 4, 200618 yr Great tour! Thanks. I bet it was ridiculously hot when you were there. Have you ever been to the Varsity?
August 4, 200618 yr Yes, I went to the Varsity years ago. It wasn't all that, to be honest. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
August 4, 200618 yr Nice shots, I like the one from the neighborhood overlooking the distant city particularily.
August 4, 200618 yr I understand that Atlantic Station is not downtown, and that there are slight differences….But, when we had the banks discussion everyone was completely turned off by this development…but how can you say that THIS^ is not what the banks is pretty much going to look like.…Atlantic station has three different parts to it (we only want the dense one, of course)….THIS^ seems like what I expect/want for the banks. All I would add is connectivity to surrounding areas....I think we lost a good developer when we lost this developer...
August 4, 200618 yr Great shots! The city looks interesting. The Interstate traffic looks intimidating.
August 4, 200618 yr dayton on steriods. great shots as always tho & hope you had a nice visit with the whole fam.

It is nowhere comparable....this is the good part of AS and this still comes across as institutional/big box. I would hope that the Banks would not turn out this way. The only good comparison between the two is that Atlanta knows how to handle cars (see 24 lane highway) and they worked out the parking situation quite well.
August 4, 200618 yr My favorite moniker for Atlanta: "L.A. in the woods." Least favorite: "Hotlanta." Draw: "Mylanta." Sweet pics. Atlanta looks to be heading vertical quite nicely. But her highways need work: only 7 lanes in each direction? You can do better than that...

Did you hear about the proposed 21 lanes in Cobb county to Alleviate traffic congestion?
August 5, 200618 yr ^Hearing a sprawl city has sold rail to its voters makes me simultaneously happy and pissed. This feeling will go switch to all happy the moment COTA (and MDOT) comes to its freaking senses.
February 18, 200718 yr It's warm there :(. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers

February 18, 200718 yr That shot of the skyline from the distance is amazing Chris. Really, all those photos are great. Thanks for ressurecting this thread, otherwise I wouldn't have seen it. Atlanta is alright. I've always appreciated it for it's culture, but the two times I've been there, the feeling of urbanity is pretty watered down.

IN ATLANTA!" - Philadelphia blue-eyed soul duo Hall & Oates, 1975 Hilarious comments all around... especially Mylanta lol This city is the physical manifestation of everything I hate in modern urban America... but nice shots, Chris!
February 19, 200718 yr But it has IKEA!!! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
February 19, 200718 yr Which suburb is featured in that distant view of the city skyline from the hilltop? I've been to Atlanta a couple of times, including Buckhead, Dunwoody and Alpharetta, but I never found a view that good.
February 20, 200718 yr Which suburb is featured in that distant view of the city skyline from the hilltop? I've been to Atlanta a couple of times, including Buckhead, Dunwoody and Alpharetta, but I never found a view that good. Off of Roswell Road, up a mountain subdivision in Cobb County.
