The Gulch


The Gulch is an old railroad yard in downtown Atlanta on MLK Drive, between Spring Street and Centennial Olympic Drive.  It is near the Five Points MARTA station and Phillips Arena.

There is still freight train traffic going through the Gulch, but the land around the railroad yard is bare.  The City of Atlanta wants to pretty-up area around the Gulch with new development to hide the railroad yard we expect to continue to operate amid the high-rises developers love to build.

The City of Atlanta is proposing a $1 billion taxpayer funded development plan on the Gulch, to attract Amazon HQ2. Maybe they should fix their sewer lines first.

Putting the Amazon HQ in a train yard would be like Trump building a luxury hotel in Haiti.
