Very nice. Atlanta may be at the point where it has enough photogenic flickr chops for it's own SSC City Photos super thread ala Toronto, Sao Paulo, Melbourne, etc. Atlanta is really coming into it's own on the street art thing.

I love cities with hills, and I always overlook the fact that Atlanta has hills.

Been wanting to do a trip to Atlanta, but, once there, I don't want to navigate via car, so my transportation will be limited to marta and the streetcars and perhaps some buses.

Looking forward to seeing all those wonderful graffiti murals!

Seriously great, man!

Atlanta has always had some of the best graffiti artists and murals. Lots of great infill going up in the city as well.

FILA!

coming home this afternoon. even since i've moved out here 8mo ago, continuous change is apparent. the city might look one way today, but in 6mo, there will be something new happening there and there. it's definitely becoming a place to be a part of(, again)

This the best Atlanta thread that I've seen on here, imho. You showcase the city beautifully. I see that the developers are starting to use better scaled templates for the newer crop of infill. It's very pleasing to the eye.

Wonderful! Parts of ATL remind me of Philly and I love stuff like this...proof that nature and urbanity can coexist and what a beautiful combination they make:

Both of these threads are great! What was that abandoned stadium towards the beginning of this thread?

If I may answer for our talented host...

Herndon Stadium on the campus of the defunct Morris Brown College.

This street looks typically European.

Where is this building? Westview maybe?

You have a very keen eye. Very interesting shots.

It seems my guess was right. According the Flickr account, it is at Westview. It is the Westview Mausoleum and Abbey.

This is an INCREDIBLE tour (de force), DetroitMan. This " Forever I Love Atlanta" series probably ranks as the best Atlanta thread I've ever seen. You certainly went out of your way to cover a lot of ground - especially off the beaten path...and particularly appreciate the diversity in your choice in subject matter, as well as your artistic decision to photograph a lot of the great street to be all over the city. Unfortunately too many people overlook the value that artistic murals add to the overall character of a place. Anyway, what was I saying? Oh yeah, nicely done!

A state flag in Atlanta?

Represent!
