Walking the walk
Thanks for the link -- what a cool read. Yalouris is an interesting guy. I had no idea he worked on the Big Dig previously. The Beltline is attracting some big talent, for sure.

My favorite quote:
Quote:
Says Yalouris, who has spotted possibilities for pocket parks on his many walks: “I like to see the BeltLine as a linear park through which the train will delicately pass.”
I love that 1.) he's thinking about pocket parks, which we need a lot more of in Atlanta, and 2.) he's envisioning the future of the Beltline when a train may be part of it (even if that ends up being far in the future).
