How could they redo it and still make it ugly?? I'm sure it has "classic" crap going on and pseudo-historical bricolage bric a brac plastered about.<BR/><BR/>I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the beltline. It is really suspect how first the Beltline, and now this Peachtree Trolley thing, neither are associated with MARTA. Could you imagine a new line or light rail in New York or London NOT part of the Subway or Underground, respectively? What is it with Atlanta that just can't keep people together?Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789911700950879385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20187700.post-8071090817575375832007-03-28T15:30:00.000-04:002007-03-28T15:30:00.000-04:00The missus says that station was re-done not too l...The missus says that station was re-done not too long ago and, "it's MARTA; of course it's going to look like shit."<BR/><BR/>One thing that could benefit our little segment of town is the extension of the name "Peachtree" all the way down Whitehall and Lee Streets. Just proximity to that name seems to help.<BR/><BR/>The beltline appears to be gasping for air. I'd love to see it happen, but I'm pessimistic about the outlook. That and the rehab/refurb of Ft. McPherson into something other than a government entity.FS Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759669182873250629noreply@blogger.com
