The West End isn’t a new neighborhood.
In fact it’s arguably one of Atlanta’s oldest… since the 1800s + the mall that existed there was built because of white flight and suburbanization in the 70s.
ATLANTA IS ABOUT TO TURN A DYING 1970s SHOPPING MALL INTO AN ENTIRE NEW NEIGHBORHOOD.
And the transformation could be absolutely MASSIVE.
The $450 MILLION Mall West End redevelopment would deliver:
• 1.7 MILLION SF of development
• Roughly 900 new homes
• 125,000 SF of retail
• New grocery store, restaurants and shops
• Affordable housing and public green space
• New walkable streets connecting FOUR city blocks
And here's the BEST part: It's right next to a MARTA rail station.

nstead of another sprawling suburban-style mall, Atlanta could get an entire transit-connected urban district.
Is THIS the future of America's dying shopping malls?

Mara Gay (who went to college with El-Sayed) on Morning Joe:
One thing you learn when you're not a white American is that it sometimes doesn't matter what you want to talk about.
The more the Republicans try to make it about Islamophobia, the angrier voters appear to be getting because they want to talk about health care. They want to talk about why they can't afford their lives.

How do you want your kids to go to school?

If they were serious GDOT would put some topes on that exit ramp. They would more than get their attention.

For the record when people talk about ATL being full they are actually unhappy & stuck in their car. They aren’t interacting with anyone in a crowd, they are just looking at the bumper in front of them.

Take a tour of the new cycle parking below Berlin's Potsdamer Platz.
Designed for utility, sport, electric and cargo bikes, it enables a smooth transition to public transport, while taking a underutilized retail corridor and reimagining it as a safe and inviting community space.
Yup nothing another spaghetti junction flyover at one of the 285 corners won’t fix. If only some of that 1.8B slated for I-75 was used to support MARTA and those seeking other transport options in the
