The Beltline is really great but it wouldn’t be what it was without the other projects in the city like Ponce City Market, Krog Street and a few of the other areas that were once isolated “islands” of restaurant/shopping space.
I had a feeling the Beltline took queues from NYC’s Highline, just as Ponce City Market, Krog Street Market, and the new Marietta Street Market took queues from Chelsea Market (surprisingly owned by Alphabet Inc.). Turns out I am right and they hired the same Landscape Architecture firm as the Highline[1].
The sheer scale of the Beltline dwarfs most other projects. I was looking forward to the connection with Dekalb PATH but I moved to Cobb earlier this year.
