Unseen Underground Walking Tour Unique walking tour of Atlanta's railroad gulch, combining history and urban exploring. How did Atlanta come to be where it is?

This unique walking tour explores the history and spaces of Atlanta's "railroad gulch". Amidst the forgotten spaces beneath the viaducts that span the railroads in the heart of downtown, we will find clues to the earliest history of Atlanta and follow the development of the city around the railroad junction. Is Underground Atlanta really underground? Are there still trains beneath the streets of A

Lecture Announcement!

This Thursday, October 3, 5-7pm I will be presenting "Terminus and Tomorrow: History and Opportunity in Atlanta's Railroad Gulch." this is the first in a series of lectures hosted Goode Van Slyke Architecture, and in conjunction with the Atlanta Design Festival.

I will tell the history of how Atlanta was founded and built around the railroads, and how the viaducts over those tracks became Underground. The presentation will be filled with lots of maps and historic photos that aren't available on the tour or in my book. We will also review the many development projects that are currently transforming the gulch, with guest speakers from Underground and South Downtown. Tell your friends, and we hope to see you there!
