A brilliant idea that is successfully executed often is a very difficult thing to achieve. All the more why this project is so impressive on several levels.

It was exciting to be at the opening, with the energy of at least 300 members of Atlanta's art community present. It was also gratifying to return on a quieter afternoon and delight in the quality and variety of the work created here. If you haven't been yet, go before it closes Sept. 22nd.
I agree with Brian and Robin's comments. I would only add that there have been several exhibits at the High in recent years focused on local artists, including Susan Cofer, Radcliffe Bailey, Chip Simone, Alejandro Aguilera, and works from MOCAGA's collection. More to come.

I look forward to the day when I can read a review about contemporary painting exhibit that does not mention painting's reason for existing or its death. Painting and painters don't have to continually affirm their existential status. And yes enough with the eulogies.

Being a longtime ATL gallery-goer, I felt this show had some rocks on it. Bravo to the UGLY!

If it's a load of games where the breast cup size isn't the beginning and end of a female's development I'd go. End of. I am a serious gamer and I'm so exhausted of being ignored by 90% of the industry. I really do see your points but is it possible that there are many women out there just like me who simply want ANY alternative to hyper sexualised or dimwitted women who have to be rescued? Sad to hear the games are less about "fun" but I'd still play them just for a change. Baby steps in the right direction are still steps in the right direction, try not to be overly critical.

Thank you, John! I appreciate you taking the time to read it and respond in the way you have (here and elsewhere); you've had a lot of experience with southern arts and I appreciate your viewpoints. Nashville is growing; there's momentum and optimism. It's a powerful place to be.

New article. If you or your readers are interested in more history, check out http://georgiastreetcars.org/
Maybe in 50 years this info can be updated with the "new history" of streetcars in ATL.

I've been video documenting the progress on the ATL Streetcar. SO FAR I've created two construction updates one from April 30th, and the other from last week. Lots of progress made over the last 8 weeks! :ok:

I really hope the new streetcar is a success. Before we get too sentimental for the old days, though, think about the reasons that network no longer exists. I have heard older relatives say, "Why, back then you ride a streetcar all over the city."
The fact is that you can still do that today on a MARTA bus, but we don't do it because driving is faster, easier, and more comfortable.

Maybe in the old world of coke building downtown? The Georgia depot is next to the property.

Little something on the history of Transit in America.

Georgia Power started mostly to provide power for streetcars and interurbans. The Dam at Houston or Mason Mill was an early hydropower project to that end.

Note all the flagrant jaywalking going on downtown. Its almost like cars were barely invented then.
