Kirkwood Station

Wow!

Here’s the Street View:

People can twirl it around to see what’s across the street.

Royal Oak Pub is just 1 MARTA station away

This is the vantage of the site from the catty-corner with Dunwoody MARTA on the right of the frame.
This is what the site-corner vantage looks like.

I know better than to hope that they will improve the intersection to accommodate people crossing to the sites from MARTA. That’s not how we roll in Atlanta.

Like Truly Living Well Center for Natural Urban Ag?

The Maps at the end of the report are very interesting. I think there needs to be additional analysis of the transit access, internet speeds, and crime. All three are factors driving investment.

Another thing that might be interesting is to track individual who are displaced by gentrification and or crime and see how they fare, it might be that one way to end systemic crime in an area is to depopulate it and then start over with a new population, we have this in Detroit in some areas. it would be good to know if crime is site specific or if it follows people, whether they have a criminal past or not.

The 1950 streetcar maps are fascinating. If you overlay the inter-urban routes it really gets fascinating. My father and grandmother told 1940’s stories of going anywhere you wanted in Detroit and the inter-urbans to the metro-Detroit cities. I too believe if this would’ve survived or if we had one of the other systems we would be in the same shoes we are now. 40 years of decimating, crime and ultimate bankruptcy would have deemed any transit system defunct.

The answer for building (re-building) a system is in the streetcar and inter-urban maps…..a modern system with those routes would be sweet.

PS- the people mover still sucks

This other map steering Atlantans toward the Jazz Festival has been on the homepage for a month: https://atlanta.curbed.com/maps/atlanta-festivals-events-concerts-april-may

I don’t follow—the building being converted to offices is currently a self-storage facility. See the street view.

Many of the maps showed the right address — in the wrong city (as if they did a quick search and hastily grabbed the wrong thing).

I suspect the editors have too many other things to do.

Or maybe not that many people actually clicked on the maps.

Or the maps weren’t deemed a key part of what brought in advertising.

Or something.
