Excellent view of the area... A Capella Books is located somewhere in the lower left side, right?

I miss the days when that store was dead center L5P, pretty much across the street from where Criminal Records is now.

With time constraints I usually have on Atlanta trips, I either have to pass it up or break the momentum of making L5P my first stop in Atlanta, being just off I-20, and avoiding a lot of street hassles at I-85/75 in downtown during the daytime hours... all that is usually a lot easier to take on into the evening, stop by Varsity for the chili dog and fries ritual, then hit the highway for home around Midnight...

I haven't been by there in a couple of years, hope A Capella Books is doing well.

The city has been cursed with this throughout the core. I just got back from Boston and, let me tell ya, I love how they've stitched back some of their core.

Very true about Boston. So good.

And the same could be done in Atlanta.

I totally agree. I think that Atlanta has so much potential. Though Boston is a great city, Atlanta feels much bigger to me. I don't know why.
