I don't know exactly how much of this walkable density on Peachtree is attributable to former mayor Shirley Franklin's Midtown Mile initiative. But I sure do recall how startling the difference was (in a good way) when these buildings first emerged.

Also, look at how wonderfully this building on the corner meets the street -- the residential windows begin only one story above the sidewalk instead of starting six stories up, above a parking deck, like some do. This is good stuff.

2024 YA Fantasy Books

I didn’t really notice it while I was putting this list together but scrolling down just to check the formatting really put into perspective how many utterly amazing books there are. There might be more YA fantasy than adult fantasy that’s pulling at me this year. Sky’s End (Above the Black #1) by Marc J Gregson | 02 / 01 / 24 – Peachtree Teen Exiled to live as a Low, sixteen-year-old Conrad…

Peachtree - OMNI ! (Review)

Georgia’s dopest are back with their second LP, “Peachtree” that showcases their Southern flair with some excellent wordplay. OMNI ! released their latest album “Peachtree” on February 2nd of this year with a lot of their bangers they released a while back appearing on the 10 track project but they still supplied a bunch of new system slappers that will make you fall in love with these Georgia…

West Peachtree at 10th Street: a new tower adds a few stories of screened parking over the sidewalk across the street from a parking deck. It looks bleak anywhere, but this is 600ft from Midtown MARTA Station so it's worse.

When people say "MARTA doesn't go anywhere" I think what they really mean is that we've built too many blocks of Nowheresville near MARTA...blocks where pedestrians feel out of place -- like they've accidentally wandered into territory that's meant primarily for driving.

I know that calling on the city to lower parking maximums near train stations is an unpopular thing. I know it makes people very angry. But sometimes it's better to be right for the future instead of popular today.

Car-oriented density isn't the urban growth we need. Drive-to urbanism isn't the best we can do. Let's excel at what cities do best.

land of honey

here is an ode to all those south of the mason-dixon line, on either side of the grand mississippi

i like the taste of wild honeysuckle, smell of maturing magnolias. there's warm spring days, with rolling thunderstorms at night, sidewalks still wet the next morning

there's ladies with big hair, bigger weddings, inviting hald the town to watch you say "i love you i do I'll always love you"

neighbors gossip, hushed whispers and giggles, i like small talk with people in line at the grocery store, asking if they like that brand of bug spray

a cacophany of cicadas at night, whippoorwills and chick-a-dee-dee-dees, lullabies of croaking bullfrogs

i like faded churches on the side of single lane roads, you know they used to be just one big dusty room and i guess they always will be

i like red crosses and soup kitchens, storm shelters and booster drives

thanks for the casserole when my aunt died

i like peach cobbler, chess pie, country fried steak, loads of butter and eggs and flour and sugar

tea so sweet your mouth puckers, boiled peanuts sold from the side of the road, only $1.50 and you get free directions to the waterfall

i even like the people who hunt, i do. especially the ones who use all of the animal, who thank the deer for passing quickly and for gifting them a glorious dinner

the people who give antlers to their dogs

i like old women with hair so white its blue, with a smoker's rasp, with metallic lipstick and starched blouses, patent leather shoes and big red pocketbooks

i like driving through marshes and fields, cow pastures and blue ridge mountains, creeks falling to forests growing to gardens

i like square dancing, and slow dancing even more, and the little dark raves tucked in corners of empty downtowns filled with everyone like you

i like bluegrass and blues, jazz on corners in the french quarter, zydeco in acadiana, yes even country, i like singing country on the porch

i like slow guitar and crooning melodies of heartbreak and first love, of missing mom and hating dad

i like old faded trucks, the ones low to the ground without big engines, i like train tracks overrun with weeds

i like mardi gras, flashing beads thrown in smoky air, feathered up floats, stereos turned loud

i like the hundreds of peachtree streets and dozens of martin luther king jr. boulevards

there's buford highway, where you can eat food from every corner of the globe and still be right at home

pass by billboards in korean, spanish, english, all in three square miles

i like drag queens in sunday best, the same florals my grandmother likes

i like straw hats and creased-up boots, i like paper fans exchanged from hand to hand

i like hearing "yall stay safe now" i like how everyone is honey and baby and sweetheart, even if you've never met

i love you trailer park beauties

stay true, hillbilly rednecks

The St Pat's parade on Peachtree today was a great chance to see a city street achieve the best version of itself: embracing a huge crowd of pedestrians + culture + storefronts, near rail stations. We need Peachtree to be more like this regularly, not just during parades. 💚

From left to right:

191 Peachtree Tower (1991), office

Georgia Pacific Tower (1981), office

I like the mix of architecture from different periods in Downtown Atlanta, on Peachtree Street.

Red Square

Back in the early 80s, I hung out with a bunch of Socialists, and so many of them lived in these apartments, we called it Red Square.

Great parties. They knew how to have fun. I was 19/20 at the time.

They had a bookstore on Peachtree Street, and the FBI broke into it one night. There was eventually a Federal lawsuit about that.

Back to Red Square. Someone said they were at their kitchen table drinking coffee, gazing out the window. She saw the door of another apartment creaking open, with a bearded face peering out and looking around. Seeing the coast was clear, he bolted out to get the newspaper on the front lawn. He was stark naked.

Like I said. Fun people.

I was finally kicked out for being an “armchair Socialist “. I guess I didn’t sell enough newspapers.
