I’ve been there many times & never once felt threatened. It’s an eclectic group of people you see along the sides of it doing yoga, playing music, artwork, dance lessons etc…
I actually like it a lot & there’s a ton to do and see along the way. It mostly restaurants, bars & shops. But major new housing and commercial developments are being built as we speak

Not even close. The Beltlone is BOOMING with new development, tons of money pumped into it & lots of entertainment while you walk. It’s not just a “walkway”
Anymore. Louisiana has NOTHING CLOSE to this. And I’ve been on the trace bike riding many times

We don't want the trace developed. Build a bike path in Gretna or something

Monroe, LA had/should've had Delta? Is this for real?
Delta was founded in Monroe. It’s named after the Mississippi Delta.

Do these people ever shut the frick up?
It’s like in new orleans when taxes went up and my black neighbor said they are trying to push out black people. I simply said well it’s everyone, you have five white people moving from your street and you the black woman is staying.
They think only negative shite happens to them.

do think that helped but the Olympics is what cleaned up the city - they tore down all of the projects and built new modern buildings.
This. The Olympics happened my junior year at GT. When I was a freshman, there used to be one dorm across North Avenue that was literally in the ghetto. It was common to hear gunshots over there nightly. all the windows had metal barriers etc. That whole area for at least half a mile was sketch.
The Olympics tore all that down and gentrified the whole area all the way down to where the old GA Dome used to be.
Also, I think this helped the growth of GT as the campus was home of the Olympic village. When I graduated, GT had 9k undergrads and today it's up to almost 19k. GT has continued to gentrify the areas around it and many companies have built offices to be next to campus.
Fun fact, if you count postgrads GT's enrollment is bigger than UGA now at 45k.

Nashville has a ton of greenway type areas. In the crappier parts of town, I routinely hear that's where the thieves come from and disappear back into. Convenient when cops can't straight-line chase you in the cruiser. But the trails here in Brentwood are awesome.

Beltline is pretty awesome. Something that New orleans could never ever have in their stupid shitty city (I just know new Orleans fans will come into this thread and talk about how shitty Atlanta is - like they do with every single thing posted about Atlanta on this website)
As someone who has lived in both…
New Orleans is a 3rd world shithole.

It is a cool idea, But how many billion do you think will go into lining the politicians and donors pockets?

It could be Atlanta’s version of New York City’s Central Park

Tech Square really changed southern Midtown from a whole lot of nothing.

Wonder where he was 50 years ago when tens of thousands of white residents fled Atlanta.

People who shite on Atlanta probably haven't spent much time there. Especially the NOLAier than thou crowd. I've lived in both cities and ATL offers much, much more and frankly - cleaner and better living.
I don't get the hate people have for Atlanta. I'd live there before I would live in a lot of other places.

A walking/biking trail is different than mass transit, but I will say I agree with this. If there was a way to sever the red line in Chicago, I and many of my northsider neighbors would wholeheartedly agree. It provides easy access for south side thugs to come up and victimize law-abiding, tax paying, hard working citizens.

I have never lived in Atlanta, not really a big fan of the city as a whole, but I have stayed in Midtown many times and absolutely love Piedmont Park area.

You want to cut off the Dan Ryan as well?

If I had to pick anywhere in the metro area to live (besides my current place), it would be in Midtown immediately south of the park.
