Terminal station

Terminal Station is a blog about Atlanta real estate. The author also blogs about other topics such as politics and economics, and to my amusement, "stupid ideas".

The most recent blog begins by citing a poll by the ABC, stating that Atlanta is, according to the poll, the 13th most desirable place to live in. Whereas most people would be glad to think that Atlanta beat out the thousands of other cities in the US, and that 13 is relatively high on the ranks, the author thinks we can do better as a city. Environmental wise, the author exclaims that Atlanta should be higher up on the list, as Atlanta has an abundance of natural resources, and a "very vibrant outdoor community." (http://terminal-station.blogspot.com/2009/10/i-dont-really-think-13th-counts.html) The only reason that Atlanta lost it's spot to other cities is due to the inept leadership that the city has had over the last two decades, whose ignorance met the growing community with a lack of walkable neighborhoods and more means of alternative transportation. Clearly the author does not think Atlanta constitutes a "fine" community.

The author also occasionally employs a sarcastic tone to make a point. A previous post, titled "College Football Hall of Fame to ATL. Yawn" shows this. This post is also one such post that the author uses different means of communication in, for example, a map of the location of the HOF. Another post uses a slideshow and a table of stats to back up his report about larceny.
