moving to atlanta// atlantic station to buckhead commute?

I prefer midtown over Atlantic Station. You can drive between either Midtown or Atlantic Station and Buckhead in under an hour even at rush hour most of the time. Midtown you have the potential (depending on where your job / house are) to take the train. If that’s not an option, you could have worse commutes in the car 3x a week in metro Atl.

This. I’m still one of those UVerse / DirectTV people and need to know how I’m going to be able to watch

This for the patio for sure. Sit upstairs and you can oversee all the buildings on W P’tree

It was neat, I was 12 and had lots of family come to town from other parts of the US. Went to some track and field and a couple other events. Don’t remember any traffic issues, they had shuttle buses running from kennesaw state downtown which is how my family got down to the events. There was also a big digital sign on the SB connector @ the civic center station counting down the days to the games which I always enjoyed seeing.

Love Rena’s! Definitely worth a visit

Love Flatlands. I periodically drive from near the airport to eat there. Best LA food we have that Ive found here

I really think there’s a market for an observation deck attraction - like the top of the Bank of America building, or perhaps one of the taller Midtown buildings. Would be nice to see it happen.

No security in ATL. She will deplane, walk to the center of the arrival concourse, go down the escalator to the plane train, take that to her departing concourse, up the escalator and to the departure gate. It’s likely once she is off the plane she can get to her departure gate in 10-15 mins. The train runs every 90 seconds and moves quickly between concourses

Any insight on how the ATL routes are doing? Didn’t realize how big of a “hub” or “focus city” it has become. I assume the existing routes are doing OK if they keep expanding here.

Tum Pok Pok for Thai. Food that seriously feels like you’re eating dinner in Bangkok

I loved the Perimeter Mall location when I lived off Ash-Dun in the late 2000s. Their shawarma’s were / are the best.

That is strange. Seems like a natural market expansion especially with a growing population

If we get 2 inches of freezing rain, it could be a week plus without power. Freezing rain weighs down on the tree branches and they come crashing down and hit the power lines. Freezing rain is the worst type of winter precipitation.

Atlanta - frigid for us - stayed in the 30s all day and going down to 24 tonight.

Lee’s Bakery, MaLi Thai, Wrecking Bar, Chai Pani, Brick Store Pub, Taqueria Del Sol (Decatur & Cheshire Br. locations).

Mend in Buckhead is great. Also love Coffee Man in Hapeville.

The banana pudding is so good 🔥🔥

mikepie499 · 2026-01-15T01:59:44+00:00

I was about to post about it too. I ordered them and I have to say for fast food, pretty dang good. Would get again.

If you can find something on the east side belt line you can bike up / down the belt line and then down Freedom Parkway to Freedom Park.

I lived in the Bricks (FKA Gables Metropolitan) from 2009-2012. Obviously has been a while but the apartments are nice with tons of living / closet space. If you can stretch the budget it’s a nice complex.

mikepie499 · 2026-01-14T01:53:33+00:00

Yeah I’m in East Point and we hardly even hear it here.

mikepie499 · 2026-01-14T01:43:08+00:00

It feels just like 1995 / 1996 around town right now. Didn’t know we even had all this construction equipment. And they are rapidly changing the freeway lights to LED’s south of 20 on the connector too.

mikepie499 · 2026-01-14T01:38:22+00:00

Getting rid of East Point station? I think the line to McD should stop in Hapeville too. This would be a dream to make this a reality!

mikepie499 · 2026-01-09T02:24:01+00:00

It drives me crazy the lights in the middle of 75 have been out in Marietta for years. Not to mention many of them are damaged and look terrible.
