Colony Square in the mid 1970s after construction finished.
Atlanta's first big mixed-use project featured offices, a hotel, residences, and commercial space. A little slice of "big city" in a part of town dominated by low-rise buildings.

I'm likely to get a bye. Should I keep RB stashes Jaylen Wright, Khalil Herbert and Ray Davis, or drop one to get a better playoff DST? Currently using Denver who has LAC and Cinci in our playoffs
QT this and I will try my best to answer your NFL/fantasy/whatever question.
