Decatur City Planners had a vision ahead of their time.

The top picture was Decatur in 1960
The city planners vision for Decatur for 1980 is photo on bottom.
Note how they had planned for N. McDonough to curve around the left side of court house, that would have been a great, but one think city planners did plan on was MARTA.
This could still be done today if it was made a one way street.
I think the vision they had was a good one. They did see where E. Court Sq.
would be closed off, and some sort of plaza would be in that place.
Their 1980 vision could be a vision for 2028.
