lol. he kind of set himself up for that one. But it can be done in an urban fashion. DCUSA has a huge Target as well. Don't know what it looks like at Atlantic station.
We were talking about what was accessible in walking distance it's all part of the neighborhood. I didn't set myself up for anything. There both surrounded by walkable neighborhoods. This is a inner city IKEA is not set up like the ones you find in Houston Charlotte or Tampa where is a huge parking lot surrounded by the building most of the parking is underneath the building. It's set up in the perfect area of town. Most Ikeas are deep in suburbia

And that's one thing that gets me with Atlanta; the neighborhoods within it's core are compact, but they're not exactly Urban. Atlanta has excellent walkable neighborhoods; but having no retail, convenience stores, or little shops within distance kind of defeats the purpose of walking in the first place, it's very sprawled.
Nah the target in Atlantic Station has a parking lot, same with IKEA as well.
There are some neighborhoods with that to name a few.
Little 5 points
East Atlanta village
West midtown/ westside provisions
castleberry hill
Parts of Old fourth ward
Near my house in Brooklyn there is a Home Depot with a big parking lot and a few grocery stores with parking lots and these are neighborhoods in between best stuy and Williamsburg.

IKEA is built on top of a 2-story parking garage. The small parking lot in front is for loading. There's a small parking lot for the multi-level Target, and it's nothing like the sweeping parking lots at suburban Targets. Even Dillard's, Publix, and the Regal Cinemas are designed for pedestrians.

It's the same set up with IKEA in Red Hook on Brooklyn

You still seem to believe your point is valid. What don't you comprehend about the fact Atlantic Station is a mixed-use development and not just an outdoor mall?

Loved L5P; Atlanta needs more areas like EAV, and Castlebury Hill. You know, just areas where regular people can go eat and walk around without having to deal around peachtree and it's commotion. More along the lines of neighborhoods in LA, or NO, and etc.

I'm in Atlanta right now and stumbled upon Kirkwood and Brookhaven. Two quasi random and totally different parts of town but they both seemed to have a very nice walkable commercial strip with plenty of housing adjacent. If Atlanta has a few dozen places like this that goes a long way to making the overall city more pedestrian-friendly.
