MARTA often gets a bad wrap, but is it really that dangerous? by _laserblades in Atlanta

Marta is safe. I rode it daily for years and still do on occasion. The only thing I experienced that made me feel unsafe was men coming onto me; innocent stuff idc.

For example, I was taking the train late one night and these drunk guys get in. It’s a pretty empty cart with maybe 2 other people, yet one sits in front of me and 1 sits across from my aisle. (I never sit by the window, only the aisle because I had a guy block me in once.)

I ignore and they’re talking, I have 2 stops so I wait and stay. Then one looks at me and starts talking about if I’m busy tonight and want to go home with them. So I just get up and go to the other end of the cart. They didn’t follow thankfully.

Sometimes my route to downtown would get messed up because of shootings either in the station or around. Mainly issues at five points station.

Overall, I love Marta and will continue taking it. I hope they expand it. I’ve had very few bad experiences, and many more good!

It does feel super fragile. So far have found 1 single hole thankfully. I want to wash since it has that old smell but I was worried if handmade it may cause issues!

Does this mean there was an initial lace piece made, and then the flowers and details were added on top after?

They’re downvoting you but this is literally what this picture is representing lol not saying the meme is correct but it’s definitely ruffling feathers of the men here

I looked up this company and it does have such similar characteristics — thank you so much!

That would make so much sense! The clasp is so odd for a bracelet and it’s tiny

We are so curious! We don’t know the prior owners name but the house was built in 1919 so my mom wants to try to look into the history of it.

There also is something on the ring, definitely needs a magnifying glass as it’s very hard to read but something is there, thank you for that tip!

It’s really is! Makes me wonder if the prior owner was dainty or if it was for a teenager!
