One of two “No Standing Area” areas set up at Lindbergh recently to keep bus passengers from blocking the turnstiles.

NYT vending machine at Lindbergh Station. I’ve never seen anyone at the station or on MARTA reading a paper copy of the NYT.

Goodbye wonderful, walkable, Decatur. On Monday I start a new job, with the same organization, but at a different location. New job is just a tad over one mile from home. Everyone tells me how lucky I am to work so close by. The thing is, I love riding the train every day. The other riders are pretty cool, I get a lot of reading done, and the ever changing seasons are fun to observe from the elevated tracks. Walking around here is a treat, my main walk is on a tree lined 2 lane street with speed bumps and a 25mph limit. It's a great street for bike riding, too, so lots of of people, even kids going to school, ride it. So, yes, I will be able to easily walk to/from work. I can even walk home for lunch, something I haven't done since elementary school. The walk is also on a tree lined 2 lane street, but with a 35mph limit, no speed bumps, and much, much, more traffic. It's a GDOT road, so there you go. Now my world has a diameter of ~9 miles, but as of Monday it will be much smaller, perhaps 1.5 miles, including the strip mall just across the abyss of 6-7 lanes of vicious traffic on Piedmont Rd. Really not worth the bother crossing. Still the job will be very interesting, and I will have fun figuring out new walks, and I'll be much closer to the Path400 trail. Stay tuned for a new batch of photos next week, providing @staff is agreeable.
