And I am so glad you got to experience it and understand why we are on about it all the time. BTW - that sculpture in the park is called "The Herd." It is a left over from when there was a school there instead of a park. The school closed and became a location for prostitution and drugs until he neighborhood petitioned for and built the park. As I understand it, there was discussion about what to do about "The Herd." Of course, Cabbagetown decided to keep it.Duwanhttp://www.makelikeanapeman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-35217212627034231472017-11-06T13:09:31.451-08:002017-11-06T13:09:31.451-08:00The Beltline does go through Cabbagetown - it just...The Beltline does go through Cabbagetown - it just isn't complete and all of the pieces of it are not connected yet.

I remember we walked a little ways to catch it. One of the things I liked about Atlanta were all of the different neighborhoods. The hurricane seemed to follow us to Atlanta.

I live here (outside of Cabbagetown, but in Georgia) and even I don't know. All of the little areas that make up Atlanta confuse me (Old Fourth Ward, Midtown, Buckhead, etc).<br /><br />And you are so right! Everyone who is anyone in Atlanta had guests during Hurricane Irma. My brother got stuck up here (he lives more toward Savannah). We lost power and a few trees feel. What happened to his house? Absolutely nothing. The weather makes (and made) no sense. *sigh*Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00415510811585368037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-71115116621749434232017-11-04T04:44:25.777-07:002017-11-04T04:44:25.777-07:00There are a lot of cute neighborhoods in that part...There are a lot of cute neighborhoods in that part of Atlanta.
