Largest urban greenspace

I once read somewhere that Atlanta has the largest urban greenspace in the country.  I understand that to mean we have a lot of trees.  Check out the view I have from the parking deck of my current engagement.  I'm on the 9th floor in Midtown, a 2 minute walk to Lenox Mall - the big downtown mall.

You can't even see another building!

Downtown Atlanta is not far away

Proof that I'm in a parking garage

It should be added that this is perhaps the best time of year for Atlanta.  All the trees are turning to green's gold hue.

Lenox isn't exactly "downtown" but it is the big intown mall and the only one that can even remotely qualify as downtown.  I did say that I was in Midtown...

Either way, that's still a lot of trees to be well inside the city limits of a major metropolis

I'm sorry, but if you are two minute walk from Lenox, you are absolutely, positively not in Midtown.  Lenox is no where near downtown and downtown does have a mall at Peachtree Center.  Just because you are ignorant of intown geography doesn't mean you can play it off as no big deal.  Just admit you don't know what you are talking about and all will be forgiven.

For your future reference, heading south Midtown starts when Peachtree crosses the interstate and  Downtown starts at North Avenue.  Both would take several HOURS to walk to from Lenox Mall.

Yeah Jason, you're right.  I'm being lax in my geography references here.  All I'm trying to say is that I'm in the middle* of a major US metropolis and "look at all the trees"


*middle refers to an approximation of the center of Atlanta, give or take 20 miles
