BELTLINE ART OPENING: Waiting for the train

Progress on the Beltline has been so agonizingly slow that I’ve had time to go from excited to skeptical to hostile and back to excited again about four times already.
I’m back at excited again, not because I expect to be able to (nor especially want to) ride a train from Ormewood Park to the Bellwood Quarry in my lifetime, but because the Beltline has inspired some good art.
Last night Urban Intervention: The Beltline opened at the Ernest G. Welch School of Art & Design at Georgia State. Artists included Joan Tysinger, who documented her exploration of the city from her wheelchair, and Danielle Roney and Ryan Gravel, whose Domain videos argued for the importance of witty, provocative, unannounced public art.
