Southside BeltLine Underpass @ McDonough Blvd

Southside BeltLine Underpass @ McDonough Blvd 1

Even though the Southside BeltLine is not paved, as of July 2019, it is open for hiking / running. I love how it completely shifts the perspective of the city. This tunnel goes under McDonough Blvd and the main Norfolk Southern railway into Atlanta. I’ve passed over this tunnel in my car dozens of times and never knew it existed.Passing through the tunnel, you’ll end up crossing over Pryor Rd (near the Southeast Library) before going under the Downtown Connector.

I can’t wait until it’s paved and finished.

    Ruby Beach is an absolute gem (pun!) in Olympic National Park. It is a beach for sure, but it’s also a beach that does not want humans around. It is incredibly rugged, blustery, and powerful. There’s no swimming, but just being on the beach around the massive beach logs, rocky outcrops, and sea spray is invigorating.

  • The Grant Park Hawk

    The Red Tailed Hawk that lives in Atlanta’s Grant Park is an absolute Boss. He’s also used to humans and will land incredibly close. In this case, he’s at the basketball courts – themed for the Atlanta Hawks – so I guess he loves a good pun too.
