Great shots. Atlanta has quite the cluster of pointy-top skyscrapers, were these all built around the same time?

yes, i think so; late 80-early 90s, and the trend continued.

Thanks for that fabulous tour of downtown and surrounding areas. Its nice to see the city focusing more on downtown than they used to.

Great pics! You made it to my 'hood (East Atlanta) in that very last pic. That intersection, BTW, which is currently a clusterfrack because Glenwood Ave is offset on either side of Moreland Ave., is scheduled for reconstruction to align Glenwood on both sides of Moreland.

I love Atlanta's grit. Downtown is looking a lot better. I love the tree canopies. Thank you!

I was going through this excellent thread again and notice one glaring thing.



No Coca-Cola....???? Wha...?

Well, jokes aside, I actually see two pics in this thread with the Coca-Cola emblem.
