Midtown Atlanta continues to develop.. I came across two articles today:
Midtown MARTA stations enhancement projects (SLIDESHOW)
Jacques Couret, Senior Online Editor and Social Engagement Manager-
Atlanta Business Chronicle
Midtown Alliance on Tuesday released renderings of proposed enhancements to MARTA’s Midtown stations.
Six months went into planning and a team led by Smith Dalia Architects came up with concepts for North Avenue, Midtown and Arts Center stations. SLIDESHOW on the right shows Midtown and Arts Center plans.
Midtown Alliance wants the stations to become destinations for MARTA riders, area residents and area workers. Enhancements include pop-up cafés, bicycle service facilities, transit towers and public artwork.
World's Coolest New Tourist Attractions
Ponce City Market, Atlanta
Just off the BeltLine—Atlanta’s network of trails and parks that follow former rail lines—a $250 million redevelopment is turning a massive Sears, Roebuck & Co. into a multiuse beacon of regenerative cool. Openings this fall will include a Central Food Hall modeled after NYC’s Chelsea Market, retail, and an expansive rooftop garden, with mini-golf come spring 2015, as well as offices and residences. There’ll even be a BeltLine-accessible outdoor bar made from a repurposed boxcar. poncecitymarket.com
