Hi I’m new - sorry if this was already posted or if this isn’t the right place. Sad news the legendary AT&T spot in Atlanta next to the north ave Marta station is now (mostly) demolished. This spot was in almost every classic 90s video up to recently. After I saw this in Skypager it was one of the reasons I was stoked to move down here. RIP
Edit - I talked to a worker who was leaving the area he said they’re eventually going to totally redo all the existing surfaces and concrete.

Damn. I moved away maybe a month after they put the fence up to start construction. From the plans I saw it looked like the ledge/wallride on the front side might still be skate able, could you tell if it might be?

Managed to grab a couple chunks of granite last time I was there, I think there had been talk of them demolishing the front end of that spot for a while now. I think the stuff in the back is still skateable though

Yeah - that part appears to still be intact, I couldn't really get an angle on it from where I was yesterday. But, if the construction worker I chatted with is to be believed all of it will be ripped up/redone sooner or later - he could have been full of shit, but the amount of equipment and materials around the area make it look like it's a big project. I walk by there almost every night - I'll update this thread again as things develop.
