Westside, West Midtown, Upper Westside – these are the new monikers you’ll be seeing more of as the former industrial area continues to transform into Intown’s hippest new area to live, work and play. Here’s a roundup of some of the projects underway, including apartments, townhomes and mixed-use developments.

This area is one hot mess of TRAFFIC NIGHTMARE. When is the City of Atlanta going to do the following:
1. Fix the streets and pot holes.
2 Get a traffic study done to eliminate the total congestion through the city.
3. Quit approving the ugly rental buildings that are putting 300 to 500 cars per block on the street.
We have the most corrupt city government in the SE…..payola gets you anything you want and the tax payers pick up the tab.
Shame on Atlanta.
