The Cobb County Courier is setting up shop in a cowork space in downtown Austell.

Austell Georgia is mainly here because of the intersection of two rail lines.

This is good news and bad news for me. The good news is about fifteen trains have gone by today. The bad news is about fifteen trains have gone by today😁

Here's one I video'd. #Austell #CobbCounty #trains #railroads #Atlanta

Here's another photo I took of the center of #Austell #CobbCounty for the article.

The buildings here are around the corner from a row of similar buildings along Veterans Memorial Highway, a busy major road.

These building face what was apparently once a public roadway, converted into a parking area bordered by a roadway with roundabouts.

#Urbanism #urban #Atlanta

Austell, in my opinion, has a better chance of restoring a sense of #urban cohesion than the adjacent newly incorporated (and much larger) City of Mableton.

Austell maintained significant remnants of its late-19th/early-20th Century downtown.

In Mableton that town center was obliterated, so creating a downtown would have to be done from scratch, and uphill against modern parking requirements, setback regulations, etc.
