Excellent photos! You and I have a similar eye for downtown Atl as I literally was out taking photos at the same time, and captured a few of the exact same angles :)

Dragon*Con was fun this year!

I've never been to Atlanta, and, though I know it's a hip and vibrant place, I'm also used to hearing about all of the sprawl. I pictured something more akin to downtown Houston, I guess. (I don't mean that as a knock on Houston.) I had no idea Atlanta's was so urban-- so many narrow streets, handsome architecture and great vistas. It seems really dense and pedestrian friendly. Thanks for sharing.

From the title of the thread, I didn't realize the thread was of Atlanta.

Very nice shots of parts of Downtown Atlanta (mostly Peachtree Center, Fairlie-Poplar and some Five Points). You even captured some Mitchell Street and Broad Street areas south of Five Points. Areas that you don't normally see featured unless its the government buildings (City Hall, State Capitol, Fulton County Courthouse, etc).

I like that you concentrated on areas that natives use and not the more touristy areas like CNN Center / Aquarium / Olympic Park - not because they are not interesting but because those areas are featured more often.

And then to top it off, the child. Nothing warms your heart and spread joy like seeing a happy, healthy child.

Excellent thread!

While I realize people's perspectives are different based on their personal experiences while visiting any place and that no two places are the same - but when I visited Houston over 10 years ago over 4-5 days including a weekend, Houston felt to me very dissimilar to Atlanta in many ways.

Nice thread.
You captured the crowds downtown for Dragon Con parade well.
If only the city could get that many people downtown all the time! :)

Just the usual bickering from the 'burbs about money for transit project like the Beltline and rail extensions up into Cobb and the like.

Dragon*Con was a lot of fun. There were also a lot of people in town for the UGA vs Boise State game. I've never seen that many people in Downtown Atlanta before.

Initially, I thought the building may be The Tabernacle or some place in the Fairlie-Poplar District. However the more I thought about it, I began to try picture south of Five Points and tried to mentally locate it in Castleberry Hill or Mitchell Street area.

Once I began to look south of Five Points, I'm rather confident it's not The Tabernacle but Mitchell Street. I believe its located at the corner of Mitchell and Forsyth streets and houses Friedman Shoes as its primary business.

Another vantage point would be this photo. If I'm correct (I'm rather confident that I am) it would be the last building on the left in the forefront of this photo.

^ Yes, you are correct. It is on that last building around the corner, facing Forsyth Street.
