2015 was a great year for Atlanta. The biggest changes IMO were.....

Good.......

- Ponce City Market opening

- Clayton County MARTA service launching

- The festival/concert season was wonderful from March to November

- Midtown/Buckhead developments are everywhere

- Redevelopment of GM site in Doraville

- Redevelopment of Colony Square

- Topgolf Midtown opening

- Atlanta airport serving 100 million passengers in 2015



Bad....

East Andrews District closing soon. Hopefully some these businesses will move to other Buckhead locations and maybe a few can be tenants in the new highrise

Here to Serve Restaurant Closings

Slow Atlanta building permit process....several new clubs supposed to open this year but they were held up because the city is slow giving out permits (I heard they are slow because they need to hire more people to help with the permit process)

TomorrowWorld disaster. Hopefully they will correct those problems next year

Afropunk.....Stupid promoters canceling this new concert because of weather conditions and it didnt even really rain





2016.....

I hope more companies from OTP and from other states will move ITP near MARTA

I hope more residential developments are announced. I know the high rise across from the Fox Theater, NCR and the parking lot on 14th St next to Atlantic House will be starting up soono (Death to the parking lots)

I hope we will learn more about a casino moving here, I hope the stadiums will hurry up and get completed so some of those construction workers can help work on new high rises before the building cycle ends, I hope we hear news about Cobb and Gwinnett joining MARTA, I hope Tyler Perry new studio will open, I hope more movies/etc are filmed here, etc.

I dont know if 2016 will top 2015 but we will see
