honestly if we are going to aim to truly be a world city we need more impressive architecture because it isn't that impressive.

Agreed. I know it’s a tall order but I was in NYC for a week and came back to ATL’s skyline like

Chicago has the best architecture to me. ATL keeps building the same generic mix used developments. We dont even have a signature architecture style really where you can say “thats atlanta” when you see it. This why they live filming here cause you can say jts any damn city due to the lack of identity.

If atlanta centered it’s business district instead of having downtown and 3-4 other mini downtowns it would look more impressive. Move those perimeter, buckhead and Cumberland shyts downtown and it would look more dense.
Chicago doesn’t have this issue

Fck a skyline. Keep the trees.


Oh yeah, whoever put me on to Corner Grille...respect due. No matter how many times I go back it's a winner every time.

Shout out to the GOAT Herman J Russell, one of the foremost black architects who built many famous buildings in Atlanta. White man John Portman too…but one of the problems with architecture in ATL is that we lack character. We got rid of all of our old buildings, if you ride through the city it’s hard to find a lot of old buildings, but I do think we have a very nice skyline from multiple angles, Freedom Parkway being the GOAT

I'm getting worried about this Buckhead City bullshyt. The damage that it will do to the city is I think being lost on those who are just looking at crime. Fear makes people do stupid ass shyt.

I don’t want Atlanta to be a ‘world city’

It’s a legit concern…I’m more concerned about if Buckhead City happens the tax revenue the city would lose would be substantial. Would directly impact city services, parks and rec, APS, MARTA. I’m confident Mayor Andre knows the stakes and has the relationships to control the situation but it’s definitely an issue. I don’t think it’s gonna happen but it’s something to keep an eye on
