1) .Peachtree(especially in Buckhead) look much like it could be downtown Charlotte.Atlanta bus shelters are rapidly being replace as we speak.
Buckhead TODAY is very walkable.Not the residential area but from Lindbergh to Peachtree Buckhead is service by 2 Marta Stations.Peachtree has bicycle lanes and the sidewalks have been widened.Not to mention The Streets of Buckhead will eventually be completed
What cities of 550,000 people have many more museums than Atlanta.Not including cities that had drastic reductions in population over the last 50 years)?Central libraries are a thing of the past.You will never see libraries like they use to make in the Carnige era.
Fernbank is the largest natural history museum in the South.I believe it is about right for the size of Atlanta.Not to mention the Georgia Aquarium pacts a very good punch as well.Atlanta's vast colleges also have significant museums.Art galleries in Castleberry Hill and Buckhead and other areas of the city or vast
