New Trolley Route in Midtown
Midtown residents may have noticed what look like lost Georgia Tech Trolleys running down Peidmont and Peachtree down near Piedmont Park. Tech has started a new route to extend its yellow Tech Trolleys in Midtown, with the intent of drawing the folks in the neighborhood into Tech Square. For now its just a pilot project, running through the end of the summer.

Unfortunately, there’s still not that much to do in sanitized Tech Square, and none of the trolley stops are labeled yet. I can only assume that they have plans to actually put up signs eventually. The intent is good, at least. If they could extend the route a bit to hit the MARTA stations and maybe out to Monroe near the Highlander and movie theater, they might see a bit more ridership.
It’s a start, at least.
Oh, and the trolleys are free.
Go to the Globe Restaurant right in Tech Square. It’s gorgeous, delicious, and reasonably priced.
There are free outdoor movies down there on Wednesday nights. http://www.flickson5th.com/
Office Space…. you know I’m freakin’ going.
I think Tech Square is a really nice place.
