Old Atlanta Tells: West End Atlanta Gentrification
On Episode 3 we dive into the historic area of West End Mall in Atlanta. We walk the streets and discuss the gentrification going on in this area.
Old Atlanta Tells is a documentary series that tell the stories of so many people who have lived through gentrification here in Atlanta. Some people displaced by it, some hate it, some love it, some is benefiting and some don’t even understand it.
Old Atlanta is a term used by people who have been here to see Atlanta change and knows what was here before the changes. Some think of Cascade skating rink, some think of Marathon wings in Fairborn road, some think of Douglas High School some think of Mays high school.
The goal is for the viewers to feel and understand what comes with gentrification other than just new food and new developments.

    I've been in the West End since 2008. We are a community. My neighbors are amazing and caring. I am concerned about the increase in property taxes. My property taxes were $400 when I moved in and now, 15 years later, they are over $5000. That increase is something our seniors on fixed incomes cannot absorb and they are being forced out. I'll be right here sandwiched between two neighbors who have both been here more than 40 years. Westside!!

    Can black people revitalize it this time? I really wanted to live here til someone told me how "bad" it was. The house I liked was gorgeous and I really couldve afforded it.

    Georgia state i think is helping the community more than people think... technically The new GSU stadium which was called turner field which was the Braves Second Stadium, the first one was Atlanta Stadium across the street.

    They gentrified the entire city old Atlanta was covered in projects back then. The ones downtown I remember was capital Homes, Grady Homes, Techwood Homes, Clark Howell Homes, Herndon Homes, Eagan Homes, U-Rescue Villa. Bedford Pines is the last projects on boulevard still standing. It was so many more damn projects.
