I'm going to be hopping off of MARTA at the Midtown Arts location and want to scope out the streets and scenery. I'd like to see as much as possible, and the best Midtown has to offer, and then be back on MARTA 30 minutes later. Need a route with street names, etc. Thanks..

Then you probably want to get off at 10th Street, not Arts Center.

South (left) on West Peachtree to 14th Street
East (left) on 14th and continue into the Park
Walk through the middle of the four athletic fields and continue over a bridge
Turn right off the bridge and follow the edge of the little lake
Walk up a stairway to the left and up the grassy hill to 10th Street
Go west (right) on 10th street past Piedmont (the traditional heart of Atlanta's gay scene)
Continue on 10th to Midtown Station

Walk is approximately 2 miles. Should take 40 minutes if you keep moving.

Alternatively, you can just walk on Peachtree down to North Avenue Station. A 30 minute walk.

won't be possible in 30 minutes! Would take you that long just to walk to the far end of piedmont park and back

I would recommend getting off at Arts Center, walk over to Peachtree St, not West Peachtree, and walk south. That part of midtown has some great buildings. For a shorter stroll, walk until you get to 10th street, take a rt and you will be at midtown station. If you are making good time head on down to North Ave and pass by the Fox. Make a rt on North Ave to get back to MARTA.

Basically stay on Peachtree St, not West Peachtree, and walk between North Avenue and Arts Center station, starting with either one.
