Long ago and far away this was a must see
Those days are gone with the wind. Underground has been sold and is a lame duck attraction, with an emphasis on the lame. Don't bother.

Every thing is closing, but a homeless man told me they were going to make this place high rise apartments. He also said security and police bother them on a daily basis. He said he had been coming out there every day for 50 years with no problems, but now they can't even sit down without some type of harassment.

Underground used to be packed and vibrant with mom and pop shops, bars, and ppl everywhere. No there are about 10 shops 3 footlocker and all of it is run down. The food court has 3 choices and they all sucks. Sad to see what it has become. Does connect to MARTA gold line.

I read the reviews. I knew what I was in for. I was still surprised at how sad Underground Atlanta is.

I wandered in here since I was close by and it was deserted. Over half the store fronts were empty and of the ones that were occupied, the goods were not good. Most were tacky clothing shops. There was a shoe store (I think) and a Lids (I think). There was a Souvenir shop that had pretty good prices. They sold tees, long sleeves, mugs and shot glasses... typical souvenir goods. There where also many kiosks lining the walkway outside of the stores selling jewelry, hats, and other trinkets.

There is a food court area with a few options. There is also an upstairs level, but there is LITERALLY nothing up there.

I don't even know how the stores or kiosks make any money or continue to pay for rent in this space. Underground Atlanta has the potential to be really cool and really exciting, but they're doing it all wrong.

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..
