We found out later she was trying to commit suicide. When I was transferring at Five Points, a lady jumped out in front of the train I was going to get on. Luckily, I was getting off at the stop this started happening at and didn't run into any problems. When I said "no," he called me a brickhouse and proceeded to grab my leg, trying to get my wallet. There was a pile of human feces on the stairs at the Avondale station for 5 days.Ī homeless guy started singing "Brickhouse" to me, then asked me for money.
When he got off at his stop, he waved at me from the platform until the train left. At some point in the middle of his facts, he mentioned that he doesn't do drugs, but has the occasional drink, and never goes to clubs. When I mentioned computers, he started talking about scientists, theoretical physics, and string theory. On my way to work in the morning, a homeless-looking gentleman came up to me asking me what I do. So Atlanta, what has ever happened to you on MARTA? good or bad?Įdit: You guys are awesome, thanks for sharing all of these amazing stories, I hope to hear even more! :) epeople are literally just watching this guys hand hover around my butt as he gets closer and closer while I'm inching away from him as best I can and OH YES LINDBERGH Oh.oh no.he dropped his cane.oh.crap.I really don't want to touch it.
Whatever, I've seen weird things on MARTA, just ignore him. I mean this guy is ragged and pulling his left sleeve up with his teeth.
#ATLANTA MARTA CRAZY CRACKED#
So I'm on the train, scooting closer to people and the doors and to my left is this really, genuinely cracked out looking dude.
#ATLANTA MARTA CRAZY FULL#
I used to ride MARTA three times a week at one point when I went to state and have plenty of stories, but this was the weirdest one by far.So I'm headed home on a friday, crowded train of course, as it was just before 5 PM, I'm just trying to get to Lindbergh to get picked up by my mom but it's a good 20 minute ride with a full train and stops from 5 points to there. MARTA says public information sessions on the priority project list are forthcoming, with its board of directors expected to vote on the list in April.Inspired by the Wa-Ho post from earlier, I would love to hear some crazy MARTA stories, I'll start. It has been reported that a former official with MARTA said the agency has been dealing with a shortfall of $1 billion in its expansion program. Projects on the priority list and those postponed until later will be funded by proceeds from a half-penny sales tax that Atlanta voters approved in 2016. It’s going to inspire a lot of private investment in the area.” Said Greenwood, “My vision for Five Points that we’ve shared broadly is that it’s a modernized center hub.
The only way for me to do that is to slow down on the other projects.”Ĭommittee chair Amir Farokhi weighed-in on the Five Points project to say he was “underwhelmed” by the plans for it. I almost hear you saying that that’s great, but relative to the other projects, you think it should be further ahead. Greenwood responded, “I can promise you that we’re moving as quickly as we can on Campbellton Road.
