Laughing at you n*ggaz like “ha ha ha”
U couldn't pay me to ride on there and I live right down the street
Im just glad 75 gonna clear back up finally
They talking bout closing the one on HM? Its close but it ain't that close. Plus HM Kroger is pretty much for folks north and west of HM. This one probably gonna be for folks south and east of HM. I think they got enough people in the area to support it. Look at Publix, they got the store on HM & Collier but they bout to open one on Bolton only like 5 minutes away.
I would imagine they get a few of people going down 75 to 85 home. I stopped at that Publix, Kroger and Walmart in some form a lot before the bridge collapse.
Yeah I kinda noticed that myself. I stayed in NC for a little bit and the culture up there is more in line with that whole family demo-wife,kids, etc. I wasn't a fan of Charlotte but I can't lie, it's probably one of the better cities for families I've ever spent a decent amount of time in. The sisters up there for sure are looking to settle down moreso than sisters in ATL. Plenty of them looking to settle down here too, but them circles that they in is pretty click ish here. Lot of bullshyt in the city in the dating world so sisters with sense have they guard up if you a new face. But a breh like me ain't looking to settle down so Atlanta right up my fukkin alley
Good point. Didn't even think about folks grabbing stuff on the way home
I glanced over an article about the new Kroger a fee days ago and it mentioned that the HM one haulted their remodling plans (i think the entire plaza was going to get a facelift). So the article implied this one may replace it since the sites are 1.5 miles from each other.
I think this new one may be one of those "hip" Krogers that compete with Whole Foods (like the one in brookhaven on peachtree for example).
I know they are supposed to be building a new whole foods on like 10th streets or one of those streets on the other side of Atlantic station (more so in the midtown area).

This MARTA station saw a 67 percent jump in riders after I-85 collapse
- Joshua Sharpe
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
DEKALB CO.
After the I-85 bridge collapse, Atlanta reached for its MARTA Breeze Card.
Most rail stations saw increases in weekly ridership, with one DeKalb County station seeing the biggest uptick, according to an Atlanta Regional Commission report.
The Brookhaven station’s numbers have ballooned by nearly 67 percent, far above the overall 11.5 percent increase at all stations, the ARC found.
Second was the Dome/GWCC/Philips Arena/CNN Center station, with almost 57 percent. Next was Sandy Springs at 43 percent.
The analysis compares ridership rates from March 24-31, the day after the collapse, to March 31-April 29.
All but six stations saw an increase in ridership in that time, though some saw only small increases, the ARC found.
As officials prepare to reopen the bridge Monday, MARTA is waiting to see how much the growth can hold.
Here’s the ARC’s full ranking of the change in rail station traffic after the collapse:
