Without the graffiti this would be just another dank, gray, slightly sinister or drably boring traffic tunnel with vehicles choking pedestrians with exhaust. But now you get spray can fumes added to the mix! A couple people have also said urine stench. I didn't happen to smell that on my two trips on my southern sojourn but I believe it offends nostrils at times. I did see a homeless person who I tried not to disturb as well. That's life in a big city though. The Ann Arbor graffiti alley back home sometimes gets the homeless and sometimes you might smell piss there, especially in one certain spot. I'd venture to say you'd get both those things with or without graffiti and the stream of artists and onlookers might even have some looking for bushes nearby instead of relieving themselves here. I spotted lots of young people going to and from bars on a weekend night. I'm sure lots of weed is smoked here and tons of pictures are taken. How many pictures would be taken here without the graffiti? And right around the corner at one end is a massive wall stretching for I don't know how long covered with huge colorful murals for as far as I walked. So, hey, legal murals are represented, too and a nice primer on "graffiti vs. street art" is there for anyone to take in. This here tunnel probably keeps more than a few malcontents from tagging any of those murals. Local color aplenty here and it's constantly changing. I think I like it better than the Ann Arbor graffiti alley though my sample size here is admittedly small, just a couple nights in February 2026 as opposed to dozens of trips stretching over a few years in Ann Arbor.

We found this place on a Reddit thread and the Yelp reviews seemed promising after looking for…read moreplaces to go on our first trip to Atlanta. Sadly, this place didn't meet our expectations. We thought the options were basic, although different varieties, and weren't completely satisfied with the food we ordered. The service was nothing to rave about either but at least the restrooms and tables were clean. We also loved being able to walk on the trails in the surrounding neighborhood. We ordered a margarita pizza from Varuni, which was the most underwhelming if not disappointing pizza in our opinion. The crust was too soggy and the sauce was sour. It tasted like they just used a can of uncooked crushed tomatoes. We also ordered the fried turkey platter from Soul since we've never had southern comfort food. The turkey was seasoned well but was a bit dry and over fried, again just our opinion. Nonetheless, it was a better value and had more flavor than the pizza because the candied yams were delicious! Finally, we got after-meal drinks from Little Tart and the coffee was good. Overall, it wasn't the worst experience but we probably wouldn't eat at this food hall again. I would still suggest it to other first-timers since the location was really nice and it's good for groups because of the different options. The surrounding area is also a nice change from downtown, which is where we stayed.

During a recent visit to Atlanta, my friend and I wanted to kill some time, so we went here to hang out. We walked around, checked out the shops, and enjoyed some gelato from Honeysuckle Gelato.

I feel like there's a little bit of something for everyone here, whether you're local to the area or visiting from out of town. I'd definitely return during future visits to Atlanta.

And full of every sort of eating/drinking/shopping experience you & your group could want. Even with its appeal to tourists, I'd have to imagine that locals* regularly patronize the building (and shops within). I came here with a huge group on an overcast Wednesday in mid-spring. Lots of people. Lots of agendas. Everyone was sated. Why? Because PCM is home to a bevy of experiences. I really enjoy repurposed old warehouses. From the sweeping ceilings to the ironwork to the beautiful old wood, they're reminders of why some things are meant to be kept and protected -- even when the old shell reveals something new inside. I detached from my group and went feral. I was here to eat but I wanted to explore. I did some window shopping and people watching. I attempted to access the roof but I needed a ticket or some such nonsense (Atlanta still has to Atlanta). But if you have the time and patience to get a ticket, you should check it out. I eventually settled on dinner and dessertS (reviews to come) and enjoyed every bite. There's a reason why PCM is a part of external-facing media when it comes to Atlanta. And I'm pleased to report that it acquits itself nicely. Even if it's out of your way and/or not in your plan to visit, make the time to do so. I think you'll be happy that you did. *I do understand the annoyance at parking issues being a deterrent to visiting. That struggle is real and universal.

What kind of E-Ticket curiosity could lead to such a line? Are they queuing up for Hannah Montana tickets? Perhaps a Disneyesque ride? My friends, they're lining up to see the frakin' robot bathroom. The ominous silver door slides open, Star Trek-style, to reveal a high-tech room where touching surfaces is pared down to a minimum. Of course, I did notice the signs were all in braille which found me pitying the poor blind guy who's got to feel his way around the walls of a public bathroom. Nevertheless, the door slides open where you are greeted with a gentle, but prodding metallic voice commanding you to press the blue button and shut the door. You have 20 seconds to comply. Once the door is closed, the disembodied robot bathroom voice informs you that you have ten minutes to do your business. Programmed as such, no loitering or heroin fixes here. No sex either, but only because I wouldn't know what to do with the other eight minutes. Blue buttons abound within this iron giant. Press this for toilet paper. Press this for paper towels. Press this to find Sarah Connor. The strains of Burt Bacharach's "What the World Needs Now" (no lie) float through the air as you face the stainless steel Fiesta Bowl. Similarly, the sink is a stainless steel indentation in the wall that selectively spurts out soap, water and hot air, depending on your hand placement. The toilet flushes either when you start washing your hands or when the door opens to let you out. Yes, depending on when the toilet flushes, the line outside will know if you washed your hands, so wash those filthy things, Skippy. We know where they've been. Press the blue button to let yourself out. Make sure to stand facing the door when it slides open and ask the crowd outside, "Excuse me, is this the sixth floor?" They love that, especially the guy whose been waiting for 15 minutes doing the pee-pee dance two people back. Every few visitors or so, the door will stay shut for an extended period of time (a few minutes) while the bathroom (or at least the toilet) cleans itself. I think that's what was happening at least. It was either doing that, or it was plotting the destruction of the human race. Robots are like that, you know. So flying cars and jet packs? Not yet. Moon bases and time travel? Not quite. But the future of robot bathroom technology is right here in Piedmont Park. And it is beautiful. End of line.

The BeltLine Tour is a FREE 3-hour bus tour of the BeltLine which I learned is a 22-mile loop of…read morehistoric rail lines that will eventually create parks, trails, transit, and new development for Atlanta. We took the tour last wknd, and enjoyed learning about the BeltLine project while driving through the Atlanta neighborhoods like Glenwood, Grant Park, Boulevard Crossing, Capital View, Peachtree Hills, etc. and some historic sites, too. Highlight of the tour was seeing the Bellwood Quarry which will be the centerpiece for the future Westside Reservoir Park - the largest park in Atlanta. I was amazed - not to the level like when I first saw the Grand Canyon - but almost, just b/c I never knew such a gem existed INSIDE Atlanta. In case you're wondering about the location, it's behind Marietta Blvd and right now it's fenced off to the public. They say the only way you can see it is taking this tour. Check out the photos - beautiful, right?! The BetlLine project is huge, and has the potential to transform Atlanta. They say it will ultimately connect 45 neighborhoods. I also learned that Atlanta is the one of the most underparked cities - we're at 3.8% whereas most cities are 10-15%. Check out the website to get more info on the project. The tour is a great way to spend your Friday or Saturday morning, and then grab some brunch afterwards :) They book fast and advanced reservations are required. Our tour guide was great and highly knowledgeable but she does talk non-stop. Three hrs is a long time and honestly, I did doze off a few times :) But seeing the Quarry was totally worth it, and I definitely learned a lot about Atlanta.

But if you have any interest in Atlanta, mass transit, and/or…read moreurban design, you will quickly get immersed in the tidbits that the tour guide feeds your group and the time will fly by. This was my case during the FYLA event that I attended. The shuttle that we boarded was comfortable and air-conditioned (for those worried about suffering through Atlanta summer temperatures or having to weather a rough ride). Our guide, Shanté (or Shauntay maybe?), was a doll, knew a lot about the project and the city as a whole. She seemed to be seasoned, as she spoke clearly and timed everything she said just right, as she stood with her back to the front, to face our group. I learned a lot and saw neighborhoods that I had never seen or heard of. The architecture of Atlanta is something to admire, as it is unique. I enjoyed seeing the Bellwood Quarry Reservoir (look at our photos, it is gorgeous) and the Old Fourth Ward Park. Now I am hoping that I can convince my landscape architect-in-training sister to join me for this tour. I was told to wait a couple months before going again, to get some new information. Keep in mind that the tours book to capacity at least a month in advance, to plan wisely (though our guide said that if you are really interested, show up and see if some people who have reserved dropped out the last minute--she said this happens quite frequently). If you want, take along some snacks. Just make sure to empty your bladder and any other organs that may need to be voided before arriving to the start point of the tour. The closest bathroom before taking off from the Inman Park MARTA station is at Dough Bakery and the staff restrict bathroom use to patrons. Don't judge me for getting a grapefruit scone so that I could relieve myself. You will make a stop a little bit before the halfway point of the tour at a Kroger (is this murder Kroger? I'm unsure), where you can pick up nourishment and use the facilities. But it can be an uncomfortable first hour or so, if you are thinking you can just hold it. Okay, let's move past the bathroom thing... You should learn more about the A, its history, its neighborhoods, and the progress of the BeltLine. This tour will help you do all those things in a span of just 180 minutes, give or take.
