I actually prefer to keep the Westside Cultural Arts Center where it is. It's a good venue.

It looks like there is still some open space on the North East corner of the attractions block north of Centennial Park - is that area available for future development such as this, or is the intent to leave it clear to preserve the viability of the other museums?

I saw a rendering years ago that might have been either an early design for the NCCHR or perhaps a conceptual rendering of an expanded museum. Either way it had another wing that extended east into that open space you're talking about. Who knows if that will ever happen, though.

That rendering was for their longterm vision. It was designed by Philip Freelon's co. who designed the Nat Museum of African Amer History in DC. I love the original plan.
I like the idea of the Grammy there; I think it would take outstanding architecture to work well.

Even with the expansion of the NCCHR there is still room for another building if it were more elongated and right up against centennial olympic park drive

I would like to see it built across from COP on the surface parking lot between Harris and Andrew Young Intl.
It could be built facing COP drive, while the back half of the block could be used for a mixed use building on top of a parking deck, which would elevate the (commercial, residential uses above the Portman super blocks that surround the block}.

That would be very nice. I think that was the site for the potential new public library, before they decided to renovate the Breuer building.

I lived by Centennial Park for 15 years and pray it DOESN'T go there. The last thing Downtown needs is another tourist destination. The only way I could support this is if it was on the ground floor of a residential tower. Single-use districts are ALWAYS bad ideas.

How about the Westside, close to where Northside crosses Marietta Street? But in general I don't support the idea of a clone museum, another wannabe tourist trap in Atlanta.

How is downtown a single-use district? It's the opposite - office, residential, hotels, museums, sports, conference center, entertainment, University, retail, government/municipal, etc all within blocks of Centennial park. Downtown is the most mixed-use neighborhood in the state of Georgia, and I don't see how putting in another museum would be an issue.

The COP area is heavily weighted towards local, regional, and area tourism. If you can't see that, I don't believe we see cities the same way. I lived next to the park 15 years and have seen powers-that-be move away from the vision of Downtown being a true mixed-use urban neighborhood to Downtown being just a series of attractions/destinations. If you go there now that everything is closed or in very limited capacity, it's a ghost town, much worse than I've seen in since the early 90s. The few thousand residents living there are feeling it.

Bottom line, housing and quality of life for locals is the key first and foremost. This said, I'd be cool with putting it in the Gulch - that's going to be a true urban district, but we really need 24/7 365 active uses around Centennial Park.
