I can't help but think of Atlantic Station in Atlanta, whenever I hear/read/think about the Rail yards. If any of you have been to Atlanta recently you know what I mean. The project really changed the look of the city, adding high density housing, a few high rises, and nice stores all in a relatively small area. Overall it was very good for the city.
For people who didn't live at Atlantic Station, they used it more as a place to see a movie or go shopping. So in a way, it was just another place to shop. I just hope the Rail yards don’t turn into a big shopping mall surrounded by high density housing.
Check out Atlantic Station's website...I’m curious to see what some of you think.
