Atlanta’s Empty Lot Filled With Fans | Atlanta News

Atlanta’s downtown just got a major makeover—thanks to the World Cup. What was once a fifty-acre empty lot, known as the Gulch, is now buzzing with life as the first phase of Centennial Yards opens, packed with fans and bars like the Irish Exit and Cosm. President Brian McGowan calls it Atlanta’s Times Square, and while only 22% of the project is complete, the World Cup proved people want to be here. This revitalization is part of a larger downtown transformation, with other areas like South Downtown and Underground Atlanta also seeing action. McGowan’s message? Come downtown—there’s so much more to discover. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
