And Ashby street as well as West End Station. Those two make more sense now as you would need to cut through Morris Brown's campus to get to Vine City efficiently, which I imagine is a lot harder to do now than 10 years ago when I left due to the Morris Brown crashing and burning.
There is also plans for a LRT line to connect the AUC directly with Georgia State and Georgia Tech in the next few years.
I labeled them as semi ubran because all though the campuses are nested in the middle of Atlanta city the area around them feels "semi urban". I like though it offers big city amenities with a urban-lite feel.
