You know, one of the things I love about Atlanta is its architecture, especially her skyscrapers. As a matter of fact, for the nine years I lived in D.C., and many of my friends will attest to this, one of the major things I missed was a skyline. So, you can imagine my delight when I returned to discover that ours had grown as beautifully as it had exponentially.
But, how about this...we all know that there are more than 60 streets in Atlanta that contain the word "Peachtree", right? Do you know how many buildings in Atlanta contain the name "Peachtree"?
That's a lot of Peachtrees! And I love "Peachtree", but if another developer announces a building name that's no more creative than the building's address, I swear I'm going to launch a Change.org campaign!
Not really, but c'mon...a little more creativity, please. Your buildings are gorgeous...they deserve a more than a common street address name. Just sayin'.
Well, enjoy the above pre-sized Facebook Cover Photo...and there are more architectural Covers coming in the near-term. In the meantime, head over to the wanderlust ATLANTA Facebook Page to enjoy other Covers and stories.
Enjoy!
