What would you like to see in Atlanta?
What do you think is needed in Atlanta -- maybe something that other cities have -- to make it more fun or interesting? It can be anything, so take your best shot. Thanks!

Better public transportation
Something to keep conventioneers in town/draw more tourists. Maybe a casino (not that it would draw me)

-Ditto on Lovin's Stuff (Underground, Beltline, Light Rail to enhance/complement MARTA, parks, clean downtown)
Plus...
-extending MARTA's heavy rail lines
-street trolleys
-regulated/uniform taxis
-parks built over the Downtown Connector
-More museums (in addition to those already proposed), some possibilities...
*Southern History/Culture
*African Diaspora
*Black Music
*Slavery
*Southern Scot-Irish Culture
*Quilt
*Experience Televison or Film Project (similar to the EMP in Seattle)
*Other Sports Hall of Fames
*...other ideas, etc.
-Tree Museum/Urban Forest Center
-National Aviary
-Indoor Arboretum
-Giant Statue of a Phoenix on a pyre(sp?) (with a nightly fire)
-Replanting/Restrengthening of the Urban/Suburban Forest
-The proposed Multi-Modal Station Downtown
-The semi-proposed complementary Armour Multi-Modal Station
-Commuter Rail Lines!
...could go on--mind is tired, and I don't like to type much...may be inspired some more later on...

I like this idea; Atlanta needs some sort of defining monument, like Seattle's Space Needle.

I totally agree too! 
Look what happened when we had a chance to have a beautiful and iconic bridge built for the 17th Street Bridge.  |
