One of the country's premier urban redevelopment projects, the Atlanta Beltline is already transforming the way we think about connectivity in this city. Twenty-two miles of former railroad are being turned into a beautiful necklace of parks, trails, and (hopefully) transit.

Streetcars last ran on Atlanta streets in 1949, and if all goes as planned they'll be returning next year. The initial route will include Edgewood and Auburn Avenues, connecting the King Center to Centennial Olympic Park.

Formerly known as Streets of Buckhead, what was once planned as the "Rodeo Drive of the South" has been retooled into a less extravagant mix of apartments, retail and restaurants.

Centennial Olympic Park is gaining another attraction in the form of a 42,000 square-foot, wedge-shaped structure dedicated to the ongoing story of civil rights in America.

South Bend, Indiana's loss is our gain in the form of a museum dedicated to the popular sport just off of Centennial Olympic Park. Charlotte can have Nascar.
