Hike the Beltline

I was talking to a guy who owns a few buildings around Atlanta a few weeks back and when I asked him about the Beltline, he said: “Why don’t they just open it up right now? You know, just throw down some gravel temporarily and allow hikers and bikers and curious types to explore it. Later on we can build it out the way we want but let’s start using the Beltline.”

I thought his idea was brilliant. I am sooo curious about the Beltline. Curious enough to try to bike it one day, and whoa that didn’t go so well.

Walking it is probably a better idea, and so I plan to join the folks at Urban Hiking Atlanta on July 11 for a Beltline walk. According to the blog, Angel Poventud, Mr. Man-About-Atlanta, will be leading the walk. I say let’s get to know this circuit that we’ve spent so much time talking about.
