@thomaswheatley I guess you would call it a Jellyfish shape, something like this

@braddewhat What did you see?

Did anyone else see a UFO on I-20 today in Atlanta or was it just me?

@cbenderatl Reminds me of the original renderings of the East Point Commons

Note the use of 🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱 and folks want to talk (rhymes with it) about the suburbs.

@MayorOfMARTA @Urban_Connector I expect to have zero reasons to visit here unless I'm going to an Atlanta United match. That's pretty sad.

🎥 Centennial Yards’ Entertainment District is rounding into form. Check out the latest progress. Full video link below ⬇️

@MayorOfMARTA I grew up in South Cobb. I'll never forget as a kid going on vacation to St Augustine and meeting a family staying at our same resort. My mom asked where they were from and she said "Prestigious East Cobb"

@cbenderatl @AtlantaBeltline I'm fine waiting until it does. From what I've read the brownfield clean up estimates mentioned by Lewis are easily double the real numbers. Why is Lewis and Collins pushing for this?

I can't believe people Like Eric Phillips believes a data center will ruin the character of the neighborhood. Since when is an industrial area called a neighborhood regardless of whether the @AtlantaBeltline passes it or not? Stop Atlanta NIMBYs—not that Eric lives there.

@cbenderatl @AtlantaBeltline I live in the neighborhood and it's clear from the vote that the neighbors don't want it here. There is a $250 pp omake sushi restaurant next door and prix fixe cocktail lounge (whatever that is) - my point is the area has changed and residential will come.

New paint job on the @AtlantaBeltline bridge over Pryor Road. Sad to see the historic Atlanta and West Point Rail Road sign was painted over. Picture of the before from Google Maps.

@KevPriest @HowEPhil And @antoniolewisatl and @collins4atlanta didn't show for the Adair Park Today vote

@HowEPhil We discussed this in our ONSummerhill meeting. Pretty much all the neighborhoods are opposed, the NPU is opposed, West End is opposed. I can’t understand why anyone would think this is good land use. People, not processors. :)

Adair Park data center site plan is 👎 Land use proposed is disrespectful to neighbors & the city… AND the site plan with sea of parking in what was an active area & block from MARTA… Digital Realty leads GLOBAL market share & has money to design better, elsewhere.

Marta is FREE right now. Just park at a damn train station.

@wsbtv When I first started working, I couldn't afford to live in the city so I lived where I could afford. What is this entitlement to think you can live wherever you want to even if you can't afford it?

Some people are paying less than $100 to live on the Beltline #Echobox=1775320395" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">wsbtv.com/news/local/atl…

@cbenderatl Article mentions hotel component, I didn't know what was part of the new plans

Nice to see them using New York based S9 Architecture for this project.

@cbenderatl The crying comment?

@braddewhat I wonder if that was a typo?

At least the third pass of fighter jets over my neighborhood

@braddewhat Keep us updated

I am surprised a developer has not snapped this up for an adaptive reuse project. It is right by The Met which is planning a major healthcare campus on the Westside. @jarelportman loopnet.com/Listing/570-SW…

@cbenderatl They have been clearing the property across Glenn Street for the past year. I think something is coming.

After TSA is funded, members of Congress should still stand in line. They aren't royalty. We had a revolution to get rid of that. They are our employees. This is a great place to remind them of that!

@emiranda_writes @GAFollowers Have you been to the SW trail lately?

@GAFollowers How about investment in other parts of the Beltline? The west side near lee + white could be a great place to start since that is already anchored there

The BeltLine needs to be widened.
