ROUTE 32

Here is the previous post, about Chiasmus Town!

Route 32 is a labyrinth-esque route full of greenhouses. It connects Chiasmus Town and Antonomasia City.

It is based around the Mar de Plástico (Plastic Sea), in Almería province, an area full of greenhouses that can be seen from space.

Pokémon:

Stot lvl. 17-19

Hoppip lvl. 17-19

Pidgeotto lvl. 17-19

Skiddo lvl. 17-19

Flynoy lvl. 17-19

Wooloo lvl. 17-19

Story:

Fer, Iris, Terpsichore and yourself will arrive to this route at first escaping from Team Omen. You’ll then have to traverse the route, getting lost in the greenhouses in the process, and getting into triple battles with the local trainers. Fer will have his Starter, Swanna and Bunnelby, and Iris will have Chansey, Shuppet and Clefairy. In the end, you’ll be introduced to Praetor Augustus with two other members that’ll defeat Fer and Iris in battle. You’ll battle him; he’ll use a lvl. 23 Eevee, a lvl. 23 Samusinio and a lvl. 24 Meicia. After you defeat him, they’ll catch Terpsichore either way. Iris will be devastated and will go back to Chiasmus Town, Fer will go after her.

After you ascend Backbone Mountain on US Route 219 and cruise past the whooshing wind turbines that crown its ancient mantle, the Allegheny Plateau opens up to reveal many bittersweet memories: young forests reclaiming former strip-mined lands, deeper and older forests riddled with tannin-stained streams and waterfalls, dusty relics of the industrial revolution sinking back into the earth, various monuments to the early history of our nation, and too many enticing mountain by-ways to count. Several winding miles later, you reach the intersection of Routes 219 and 32 and the former coal-mining boom-town of Thomas. After years of declining fortunes following the coal industry’s mid-century bust, the town has remade itself into an eclectic, somewhat eccentric tourist mecca and jumping-off point to the Blackwater River Canyon, Canaan Valley, and wild back-country of the Monongahela National Forest. The town is a giddy amalgam between hipsterish art galleries and coffee houses and homey bastions of local mountain culture, such as the Purple Fiddle and Mountain Made. Somehow, it all comes together. During the fall’s leaf peeping season, there’s barely a parking spot to be had.

MARTA: Downtown --> Grant Park

One of the things I want to do with this blog is feature various MARTA bus routes specifically by describing where they can take you. I’m always running into people who are surprised when I explain to them how easy it is for me to get to, say, East Atlanta or Lenox Square or my work at Emory, when in fact it’s quite easy. Sometimes even people who live next to a bus stop have no idea. So why not share bus routes I know?

Downtown –> Grant Park 

This first post is about a trip I’ve made many, many times the past three years or so: Taking the Route 32 Bouldercrest bus from Five Points Station south and then west over to Grant Park, where I enjoy the weekly Grant Park Farmers Market. (I’ve also taken the 32 to destinations past Grant Park, but this post is just about going to the market.) It’s an extremely convenient trip for me that allows me to get on down to the market in about 10 minutes and get back in the same amount of time. It’s also a trip that provides a real contrast in environments, as you start out in a really gritty, even kind of gross, city bus stop and wind up at a bucolic city park. And I’ve got pictures to show it. Look below the cut for that and more.

Today’s a Sunday. After checking out travel times using Googe Maps, I walked over to Five Points to catch the 32 that was supposed to leave at 10:41. The driver was I think 4 minutes later, which was annoying but soon we took off and were on our way.

There weren’t nearly as many passengers on this trip as there usually are on Sunday mornings, not sure why. But this woman at the front was there and super dressed up. As I was getting off, I told her how much I loved her skirt.

The 32 basically leave Downtown by going past the Capitol and down over to what was Ted Turner Stadium, then heading east down Georgia Avenue, which terminates at Cherokee Avenue and Grant Park. That’s where I hop off, while the bus keeps going and going. The picture above is taken front just inside the park along Cherokee. 

The Grant Park Farmers Market is a wonderful weekly market that runs every Sunday from 9 am to 1 pm. It used to be April-December but I learned today that it’s going to be year-round starting in January. This is welcome news because I always go into withdrawal the months it’s closed. As far as goods sold, there are tons of stands offering food (lots of produce, as well as meat, sausage, dairy, eggs, yogurt, coffee, bread, doughnuts), prepared food (soup, crepes, hot dogs, pizza), preserves, crafts, granola, and more. There’s often live music, chef demos, and more. It’s very family-friendly as well as dog-friendly. I’ve also seen pigs and goats there. 

The park is a lovely spot for a walk, so if there’s time between the end of my shopping and when I have to catch the bus, I wander around a little.

I catch the bus back at a stop on Georgia Ave. by the corner with Cherokee Ave. Here’s a picture from this morning showing my three bags. I went home with: fresh eggs, half a dozen apples, 2 bottles of fresh cider, fresh mushroom, 4 pastries, and 2 big bags of granola. Plus a big pretzel in my belly.

Today I caught a bus back at around 11:50. There were lots of people on this one, including this woman who stood out with her colorful outfit. I used selective color on her picture to make it “pop.”

Thirty three years ago I made this view of a northward Central Vermont freight crossing Route 32 in South Monson.

(Historically CV had a ‘station’ in South Monson, and another at State Line and these were distinct locations in the railroad’s timetable.)

Coast Transit Authority looking to extend route 32

Coast Transit Authority’s route 32 could extend to D’Iberville after the review of ridership usage in the spring.

This improved route will include stops along the Popp’s Ferry corridor, the Cedar Lake Medical Center, the neighborhood Walmart, among other stops at the Promenade.

Route 32 runs six days a week, starting at the bus shelter at Pass Road and Popp’s Ferry. With the extension, riders can…

Changes to CTA bus route 32

Changes to CTA bus route 32

Last December the Coast Transit Authority and the City of Biloxi launched a new bus route on a trial basis.

For six months, route 32 had continuous service from Pass and Popp’s Ferry roads to Motsie Road, east of Cedar Lake. In hopes to boost ridership, CTA is re-launching the route and it will now extend service into the D’Iberville city limits and on to the Promenade Shopping Center.
