A very nice seating area available for me to use as I ate the sandwich I just got from the Chick-fil-A on the upper level. As I munched on my meal I connected my cell to the open WiFi and watched Pluto. I noticed that there wasn't any buffering of the video so i flipped over to my network tools app and checked the data rate. It reported HD streaming video speeds. Impressive as most Guest WiFi's are much slower being useful for web browsing and chat. After I finished my lunch I dropped the trash in a conveniently placed trash can and went about my day. It was a short visit but I pleased with the experience.

I'd really like to give this mall at least 4 stars, but the hours of operation of the businesses in this place a complete farce. Literally, almost everything is closed by 3p. 3p! There is a gym inside, Fitness 1440, that's open 24/7 and it's a great facility, but they can only validate parking for 2 hours. But why? Past 3p, it's not like there's another reason why anyone else would park in the garage? Ok, so there are condos and the W hotel that I suppose share the garage with the mall, but I still think it's ridiculous. Oh, also, of you park in the garage after hours and need to access the mall (like for the gym) you have to ring an intercom and have "security" open the door. What makes this ridiculous, tedious and annoying is that you can access the mall, without delay, through the mall doors on street level. So why all the extraness? It clearly doesn't matter. I mean, if I were gonna blow the mall up at 2a, I'm pretty sure it's not like I'd tell you over the intercom, anyway. The juice/smoothie bar in the food court, Pressed Together, is actually pretty neat. They make the best Acai Bowls I've ever had, and I've had lots lol. Anyway, I wouldn't really call this a mall. More like... I dunno? A plaza, I guess.

A lot is happening here. So many shops are up and so many companies lease office space. The elevators are a bit slow. But in general this is an exciting office building with decent amount of excitement out of offices.

A lot to do in the area but with the construction parking is a huge issue if you try to use the deck connected to those buildings. I'd suggest parking in the Campanile deck across the street.

Really pretty definty captures the feel of dining in the big city. I enjoyed visiting here on my motorcyle. Like any busy Wal-Mart or shopping center I offer the same advice. Keep your valubles or purse out of sight. Stay where it is well lit. Travel with a buddy. And have your keys out and ready when you walk into the parking lot.

Good place to get a relatively cheap lunch in midtown, my favorite being European Kitchen. However, half the shops in there have closed their doors in recent years probably because the rent is too high and long overdue for a renovation.

It's in the middle of renovations to an open air center, so many of the restaurants have closed. Looking forward to seeing what it's like when it's done but right now I couldn't recommend it unless you can't get anywhere else.

Not much "there" there. Perhaps the renovation that's currently in progress wil give people a reason to shop and dine here. They better drop the parking rates, too. A free first hour of parking would be a good move.

Centrally located with lots of great spots! I'd recommend taking MARTA, walking, or biking to get there. If you drive, avoid their parking garage (or allow at least an extra 15 minutes to navigate it). It's quite possibly the most poorly designed parking garage in the country. And the construction right now isn't helping. There are unsafe, dead end areas in addition to their unclear signage and unintuitive layout.

Colony square was great when it was fully functional but now there's twists and turns, you can't go this way, you have to go that way. It's a mess, construction going on everywhere. Don't get me wrong, I like Colony Square, just can't wait to see it after all the construction work is done.
