More than a decade ago, when the Atlanta “live/work/shop/play” development train left the depot, nearly everybody jumped on.
The locomotive was a massive 1997 plan unveiled for the Atlantic Steel plant, today known as Atlantic Station. It was to be like nothing ever seen in the area: condos, a hotel, retail, office space, the works.
Soon it seemed “mini-Atlantic Stations” were being proposed all over the metro area. Around the same time, MARTA unveiled its first transit-oriented development, using the Lindbergh station as a starting point.
But now a depressed economy has derailed the train, and many wonder how, or if, it will get back on track.
