Another Boulevard/Edgewood Parker

480 Edgewood Avenue, Atlanta, GA

This one was last Friday. Someone seems to park here every single day, so I expect to post a photo of this location every single day.

Angry Driver in Bike Lane

480 Edgewood Avenue, Atlanta, GA

This car was parked in the bike lane on Tuesday at the intersection of Edgewood and Boulevard. About a minute after taking the picture, the car pulled up next to me and started honking. The driver (whose wife apparently saw me taking the photo) began aggressively questioning me, taking pictures of me, and threatening legal action, as well as insinuating the possibility of other, supposedly more physical consequences. "You have to bike past here every single day. Could be very dangerous." "How about I follow you home, see where you live?"

To me, he seemed very concerned about the possibility of his presence being associated with this particular location. Given his New Jersey plates, he probably wasn't too worried about receiving a cheap parking ticket from the APD that he won't ever have to pay. I won't speculate as to exactly what he was so concerned about, but I will note that every single car I've seen parked in this location has been different, and has had an out-of-state license plate. Which seems very strange to me.

The driver followed me to Inman Park station, at which point I entered the MARTA station to avoid further confrontation.

Quality of Life

572 Edgewood Ave., Atlanta, GA

This was taken at the same time as my previous post. This is how the Atlanta Police Department creates a high "quality of life" for the people of Atlanta. Thanks guys!

To Serve and Protect

572 Edgewood Ave SE, Atlanta, GA

Same old story. However, this is some time after my council rep, Archibong, had gotten the police department to add "don't park in the bike lanes" to their briefing. I guess the novelty of that is gone.

Tour Bus swings into campus bus stop/bike lane

5th Street and Spring Street, Atlanta, GA

Although the pictures aren't my best work, the bus is about 3/4 into the bike lane and diagonally parked (idling!) where our campus buses pull over to stop. In this busy area, someone that pulls over here causes the campus buses to pull next to them, and then impatient drivers move into oncoming traffic to get around the whole mess.

They're just not thinking very well about where to park. A classic case of OPW syndrome (Only Person in the World).

Loomis can't decide whether to block bikes or cars

5th Street and Spring Street, Atlanta, GA

Nearly to class as I came on a Loomis truck, idling with hazard lights going. And we all know hazards are the universal nose upturned at all relevant traffic laws.

Friendly driver decided he didn't like me taking photos, and started honking at me, but no confrontation ensued.

Blank Truck seems to be USPS, unattended in bike lane

Ferst Drive and Atlantic Drive, Atlanta, GA

Came across this on my way back home, sitting outside of the BME complex. The crates inside the truck say United States Postal Service, although the vehicle itself had no markings. The tag is government registered.

Twelve Hotel

17th St. and State St., Atlanta, GA

A classic, another car parked in front of the Twelve on 17th St. You can see all the engine drippings on the ground, as there is always some one parked here. Notice the several No Parking signs as well.
