Yep so glad the Lidl is opening up down the way on Memorial, gives me yet another option instead of that shit show. I've got 4 grocery stores within about a mile and a half in each direction pretty neat.

I go to that Kroger a lot... I don't know why it is always such a traffic disaster when there are several other urban Krogers that don't seem to be (new Murder Kroger, the tiny one in Decatur, etc.)

I see it as a combination of factors

The chik fil a creates a ton of traffic around their peak business times, backing up the drive thru to Bill Kennedy. A lot of people try to cut through there but it's become a lot more of a challenge with the increase in activity and people/businesses around there.

It's just real tight around there - I can get in and out of the Publix at Madison yards in about 10 mins though

Used to live in Ormewood. Figured it out at both of the grocery stores. Ride a bike , put a milk crate on the front. Get some panniers.

I use that Kroger 3-4 times a week. I live south of 20 so I never have a problem zooming in and out of Kroger on Edegewood. Avoid the chick-fil-a entrance and it is not a problem at all!

Happy for the Expansion of the Center for Civil and Human Rights, but man the design is horrible. The Facade, wtw ? They should have stuck with the original expansion design. Why Atlanta Why? Disappointed in Perkins And Will.

Updated rendering of Science Square, which has broken ground.

Hopefully that connection is more bike friendly than the rendering.

I'm noticing the ever so ubiquitous parking deck in this rendering....

The building looks good, the parking deck... not so much. No attempt to hide it.

Meh. I don't really disagree with you, but you won't really ever see it unless you're walking on that bridge. North Avenue is below grade there, Marietta is on the other side of a building and the road shown doesn't even exist right now. I'd rather see what the other side looks like.
