This place is a long walk to get to. And there is nothing there. No shopping. Hardly nothing. The one food place that I seen was Subway, and another place that's not good at all. Like Chinese food. The food was very cold. And not taste at all. It's old, musty, and dark underground. I would never go back there.

This mall has taken a major decline in over the last 10 years. There maybe was a total of 10 stores still open. Many homeless people camped out all day. Just very disappointing. However the mall will be closed August 1st, for 2 years to be completely renovated! Hopefully some good comes from that.

This is a public place but you are boy allowed to use the sockets in the food court our anywhere underground, this is extremely ignorant to me because in case of an emergency and you're unable to charge your phone is just crazy, I'm from Atlanta and I think this needs to change.

I visited Underground Atlanta about 20 years ago and it used to be a fun place packed with people and entertainment. Just spent a Memorial weekend in Atlanta and I was shocked how this place has changed. Extremely dirty, most restaurants were closed and out of business, cockroaches in the bathrooms and in general ghost town... Sadly... Very disappointed.

This is completely closed down now, parking garage attendant says it won't be open again until 2020. Writing this to save someone else the trip! We were sent to Atlantic station instead& it was very nice!

I can't stand Underground Atlanta. There's simply nothing of any interest or value located here at least in my opinion that is. This used to be an amazing area, especially for learning about our city's history. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case here. There's still the potential to learn the history of our city here, but in my opinion, there's much better sources for this rather than Underground Atlanta.

A sad, sad place. I lived in ATL for a couple of years in the 80's, remembered checking out the underground when it was a vacant, derelict site. Unfortunately it looks like it's headed down and will soon be an empty shell once again.

This whole area seems like a forgotten, abandoned project from the 90s. I was here on a Friday night and almost everything was closed by 8pm or out of business. I'm sure Atlanta has better to offer than this?

About Underground Atlanta

Underground Atlanta: A Historic Transformation

Underground Atlanta is a historic landmark located in the heart of downtown Atlanta, Georgia. The four-block radius was once a bustling hub for retail and entertainment, but over time it fell into disrepair. However, with the help of visionary developers and community leaders, Underground is undergoing a transformation that will revitalize the area and create a sustainable community where people can live, work, create, and explore.

The History of Underground Atlanta

Underground Atlanta has a rich history that dates back to the 1800s. Originally known as Terminus, it was founded as the end of the Western & Atlantic Railroad line. As more railroads were built in the area, Terminus grew into a thriving transportation hub.

In 1864 during the Civil War Battle of Atlanta, much of Terminus was destroyed by Union troops. After the war ended and reconstruction began in earnest in 1865-66 many businesses moved to other parts of town leaving behind empty buildings which became storage spaces for goods such as cotton bales.

In 1969 businessman R.H. Macy purchased several blocks around Alabama Street with plans to build an underground shopping mall similar to one he had seen in Montreal Canada called Place Ville Marie . The project took years longer than expected due to financial difficulties but finally opened its doors on April 8th ,1969 with great fanfare.

For many years after its opening Underground thrived as an entertainment destination featuring restaurants like Dante's Down The Hatch (a fondue restaurant), bars like Churchill Grounds (a jazz club), shops selling everything from clothing to souvenirs ,and even an indoor amusement park called Fun Junction .

However by late 1990s Underground had fallen on hard times due to competition from suburban malls and changing consumer habits . Many businesses closed their doors or moved elsewhere leaving behind empty storefronts which attracted vagrants and crime .

The Transformation Begins

They also plan on adding new residential units so people can live within walking distance from work shopping dining entertainment venues all while being connected via transit options like MARTA trains buses streetcars bike lanes pedestrian walkways etc..
