Walking through this wonderful mix of benches, flowers, hanging plants, trees, and stores is a good balm for most anything that ails you.

We were on the Eastside Beltline yesterday and saw this adorable scene: a little window where you can buy pizza or shaved ice, and there's a cafe table nearby.
I'm not familiar with this specific business, but in general, this is the kind of pedestrian-facing retail I'd love to see more of on sidewalks. Let's spread some of this lovable Beltline goodness around to our city streets.

What a beautiful sight!! The scaffolding is off the Bell Building. It's hard to believe that just a few years ago GSU was going to demolish this beauty and replace it with a parking lot. Thanks to everyone who played a role in saving it!
It's becoming a GSU Student Success Center, but it's already a 'success' in my book.
Check out my website for some history on the building & the effort to save it.

Looking at Ponce City Market from inside a bus at night. About eight people got on my 102 bus tonight at the Ponce City Market stop! That made me happy. Ride the bus! Watching the city go by from one of these big windows is nice.

We had dinner at Eats tonight. One of my favorite things about eating here is the view of city life from the windows. Check out the reflection of the 'JERK CHICKEN' light on the MARTA bus!

"Hey Darin, what's that big old building on Peachtree Street that's been sitting empty for as long as I can remember?"
An excellent question, my friend! This is the Medical Arts Building. It opened in 1927 to house medical offices. The architect was G. Lloyd Preacher, who also designed Atlanta City Hall building and the Carnegie Building.
"How long has it been empty?"
Sadly, it appears to have sat unused for about 1/3 of its life. The last time it was occupied was when the bottom floor had a retail space about 20-30 years ago.
"Why is it empty?"
In the late 1980s the medical tenants moved out because the streets around the building were blocked by a project to widen the interstate.
"Can't it just be torn down?"
No it can't. The building's lovely brick facade was donated to the nonprofit Easements Atlanta, which offers it protection from demolition.
"What about that news article from several years ago? I thought it was being converted to a hotel or something?"
Nope. Didn't happen. Probably funding issues. The work of turning this into a hotel is very expensive.
"What now?"
We wait. Maybe pray. Perhaps the city could purchase it and partner with a developer to put affordable housing here? This would also be enormously expensive, but it's also hard to put a price on the value of having a dead space turn into housing.
"Can't we just wait for The Stitch to be built? Surely that amenity will prompt a developer to turn this a very expensive, luxury boutique hotel."
Prithee, vex me no longer with your chattering. I bid you good day, sir.
"But surely this is..."
I said GOOD DAY, sir!

I can't say anything about John Portman's Hyatt Regency that hasn't been said before.
On the inside it's a dazzling sight, elevating the art of atrium design to the level of architectural triumph. On the outside it's a mirthless monument to beige, hostile to the public realm of our sidewalks.
I enjoy being here for a conference and hearing from people (even locals) who are seeing it for the first time.
