With the proximity adjacent to downtown, within the beltline, walking distance to Edgewood's nightlife, future light rail, existing heavy rail, as well as a proposed linear green park between the dome and Oakland, the area has a lot of promise for a bright future.

And if all that's not enough, how about the close proximity to Downtown, Midtown, and all the awesomeness of the many east side neighborhoods? I'm sure people probably thought the same thing about West Midtown too though.
On a side note, as Memorial continues to densify, how awesome would it be to have that corridor served by elevated heavy rail?
As the rail heads toward Downtown, it could pull into Ga State and Five Points stations, then boomerang northwest, traveling along Marietta Street. It would hit the touristy area around the College Football Hall of Fame and all of West Midtown. It could be our
post industrial line. It would also greatly add transit access both East and West, with a long term goal to continue expanding toward Stone Mountain and Vinnings/Cumberland (assuming Cobb gets on board).
