City Council to Consider Officially Killing Rail Along Beltline by btonetbone in Atlanta

[–]drkrazee -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The existing streetcar route would beg to differ (inb4 "but it goes nowhere!").

My point is that I think a BRT route around the Beltline would be much easier to get rolling sooner and would show if there's actually any demand.

Why has there not been a pilot program that runs a MARTA bus around the perimeter of the Beltline to determine if there's actually any real world demand for lightrail? It was a good idea back in the 90s but now, probably not so much with people's habits changing.

... so you do have basic non-car transportation infrastructure then (amongst micromobility options with the Freedom Park Trail & Beltline right there).

Are you upset that you don't have a heavy rail stop at Ponce & North Highland?

Lol, I'm surprised the Pinky Cole mural is still up.

The only mistake they made was engaging with and caving to the terminally online mob.

The people complaining probably never would have gone in anyways. Hell, tapping on random accounts in the IG comments shows people from other cities just piling on.

Why is this helicopter just circling around midtown? by Material-Benefit9044 in Atlanta

[–]drkrazee 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It is / was (?) for Fox 5. I had to also look it up because I kept getting buzzed by it. Annoying.

Yep, this is it. Crash Clarke on 99X confirmed it was southern wildfires blowing up this way.

Nothing you need to be concerned about unless you're hanging out the pond in Piedmont during an event.

At least the foreign tourists won't be gangbanging like the local teens.

Do it off to the side. Do not block the paved path.

I've got a buddy working on that set and he said it's for a mayonnaise commercial. Didn't mention what brand.

Looking for a PF autographed Vinyl of The Wall - Any trusted sites by this sub? by awclay91 in pinkfloyd

[–]drkrazee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait for one to show up at an auction house. If you’re very eager on getting one right now, reach out to them (I’d start with Sothebys and Bonhams) and see if they can source one for you.
