re: Atlanta is lost

Same thing going on in in NOLA. The satsuma cafe claims to be keeping the mask mandate in place because their worker’s children aren’t vaccinated yet. These folks obviously have no idea what they are talking about. Vaccinated people can’t spread the disease. Are their workers not vaccinated? Children aren’t very susceptible to this disease at all either.

you aren't in the Grady cluster (now Midtown High) the schools suck.
Edit: some will say the North Atlanta High cluster is ok but I wouldn't use those schools other than the Elementary school.
I'd definitely argue that North Atlanta has the best elementary schools.
I'd also send my kids to NA over Grady (but in reality wouldn't use either).
Nothing wrong with elementary the schools in those clusters as well...primarily due to local enrollment and the parental involvement. All hell breaks lose on the HS. level due to "open enrollment"
Hell, how much did North Atlanta cost? $140 million? Still a shitty school.

MARTA sucks and was poorly laid out and designed. Its almost if they catered it to people who don't work instead of people that do work and would use it if there were more strategically placed stations.
MARTA covers all three major CoA business districts, Perimeter Center, the airport, the MBS and GWCC complex, the State Capitol complex, many residential neighborhoods, etc. Where else where you thinking?

With Uber there is no reason to even use it to go to the airport or Mercedes Benz anymore.
When I lived in Sandy Springs, MARTA was a life saver to go to both (especially since Uber to either was usually $30-40 compared to $2.50).

Murdered? Potentially. Robbed? Potentially. I mean I took a risk and went to Lenox mall a week ago with the family to check out a store in the mall. Our experience was literally 5 seconds after stepping out of the car in the parking lot (where people get murdered) I was accosted for money and called a racist by him when I told him I didn’t carry cash, all in front of my young family. So good job Atlanta, I think we will stay in the burbs for awhile. Plenty of good burgers and shops at the Battery & surrounding suburbs

Do you live in a bunker? Have you not heard about the shootings/violence at Lennox over the past couple of years?
Why would any sane person take their family there?
I've been to Lennox maybe twice in the last 5 years and that was for business purposes.

I was at GT when the Lennox station opened. We thought it was great because there was a Mexican restaurant up there with margarita specials and we could ride Marta and not have to worry about a designated driver. Watching that mall over the next 4 years was like a sociology experiment.

I’m fully aware of the situation at Lenox mall. I was responding to someone who criticized me for not wanting to go to L5P b/c a couple was double murdered there and referenced our most recent trip to Lenox mall as to why. Lenox mall should be 100x safer then L5P.
The only places we haven’t given up on ITP are Hal’s and the St Regis.

And lastly to the OP...you posted on teh 18th and said you went up Sunday (the 16th) adn the sign you flipped out about also said the 16th. For all we know that sign was up for 24 hours but has you shaken up, do you not find that strange? Also, are you new to liberal thinking? There isn't anything even remotely conservative about L5P, and the last 15 months liberals have gotten off on mask wearing and fear mongering, so why are you surprised that one of the most liberal havens in the city is all about mask wearing?
I didn’t flip out and I wasn’t shaken up by a goddamn thing frickstick. I’m also going by what I’ve seen multiple people post with regard to other areas of the city. In this very thread they’re talking about how this shite has bled into Midtown in Buckhead.
It must suck to be so thin-skinned that you can’t see that your city is going down the crapper. At least I can admit that except for a few areas my home city of Baton Rouge has become pretty much a shithole. I’m sorry your city sucks and that you’re so defensive about it.

You have to walk miles from some of those stations to get to amenities and destinations and office buildings. You don't think Atlanta has changed enough since the late 1970's to add some infill stations?
MARTA is an inefficient mess. It isn't reliable. Plenty of my neighbors are late for work weekly because they can't get it running on time. I guess living in the city proper I am deluded by essentially not having use it because there are far better options for me like Uber. I guess if you have zero other options and live out in Sandy Springs MARTA might be ok but I am glad I don't have to rely on it for the reasons discussed.

Did you miss the part where I said I live itp? I'm not one of those people that claims to live "in Atlanta" but really lives in fricking Lawrenceville. If you don't see how it could take almost an hour to get from North Atlanta to the airport with moderate to heavy traffic then I don't know what to tell you.

MARTA is/was looking at putting infill stations over where the Beltline intersects the heavy rail lines. To fix the "miles from stations" issue, you'd have to build new lines (I'd kill for a line from Arts Center to Cumberland near my house, for example).

To each their own, and at least it exists.

yeah? I'm in my mid-30s and haven't ahd to worry about schools for my non existent children until now. Now that one does exist, I want to move somewhere with a better school system. Not really that complicated.

Where ITP do you live? It shouldn't be taking you that long especially during Covid to get anywhere.

I swear you're the type of person that simply doesn't learn by what you see.
You see a random shooting in L5P and vow to never again go to a restraunt there that you like because of it, even in the middle of the day.
You presumably see countless report abotu shootings at lenox mall, month after month after month, all by generally the same type of person, yet you still go there
You ahve no one to blame but youself dude. I haven't gone to lenox in over 5 years becuase of the crowd it caters to. Guess what? My mall experiences in atlanta have all be quite pleasant with zero issues whatsoever ot speak of. It's because I avoid the ones that should obviously be avoided, which is something you somehow didn't think to do.

Yea,too bad that Northwest line didnt get extended to Cumberland if not further.
I know multiple who worked for Coke and Turner who lived up 75 in Cobb and almost all of em told me they would've preferred taking rail to work rather than sitting in that traffic every day.

wait a second. You're citing happenings at lenox mall as a reason why you shouldn't go to a completely different area of town? Wowzers.

North Atlanta has a great elementary school but it isn't as good as Morningside Elem or even Springdale Park. Grady cluster is now majority white and has brand new state of the art Middle School (Howard) and Grady is currently undergoing renovations and being expanded. People simply aren't aware of the changes and demographic shift in the Grady cluster. Its staggering. Meanwhile all those 'great' schools out in the burbs are trending the other way and getting worse by the year. Illegal Immigration is killing schools in Gwinnett and Cobb.
Which one are you talking about? Brandon, Jackson, Smith and E Rivers are all either very solid or good. We've lived in both Grady and NA.
Morningside demographics are great, but when your lily-white class brings home BLM assignments it doesn't mean that much. That's where the advantages of being in Brandon, etc. come in - they're much more traditional in orientation because they're fed from Buckhead neighborhoods.
I do agree on the suburban schools. I mean, IMO the north fulton schools and Walton are basically it. But while APS is getting whiter in some spots, the result is batshit lunacy and you're trading metal detectors for indoctrination.

Yea man. If my family isn’t safe going to Lenox Mall, then we sure as hell aren’t going to L5P.

I mean Vinings still has great neighborhoods but even the Jubilee area is starting to see the encroachment from the Bolton/Smyrna areas.
