I walked twelve miles and all I got was this map of it!

Martin Luther King Jr. Drive stretches across the midsection of Atlanta. It leaves Cobb County near Six Flags in the west and travels through Fulton County (and Atlanta) almost all the way to Moreland Avenue and Dekalb County.

Here's a description of what I gathered by walking along MLK yesterday.

• Cars make noise, something between a shushing and a wheering
• The noise cars make drowns out most other noise, like birds
• Birds chirp and tweet, primarily in thick foresty areas (foresty areas number about ten along all of MLK)
• Windows don't get fixed, especially in poor neighborhoods
• Broken windows usually have busted-up blinds behind them - I saw lots of these
• Empty houses and apartments tempt me into moving in, though I imagine some things I don't want to live with already moved in
• Airports, no matter how small or infrequently used, amaze me. My trek yesterday started at Fulton Co/Brown Airport
• Trains and train tracks, no matter how frequently or infrequently used, amaze me. I considered leaving MLK and walking along the tracks from Cobb to Dekalb
• Cemeteries can hold beauty as much as they hold sorrow 
• Westview is an especially beautiful cemetery. It has a castle in the middle and slow, green hills for what feels like miles around it. I saw a woman who appeared to be meditating in the middle of one of those hills. It was an image of sadness and peace
• Oakland Cemetery hosts lots of events, like some reenactment yesterday that involved a man who dressed up in a red and black striped body suit. The man had very dark facial hair and very gray/white head hair. He tied a bowtie on his collar. He had on boots and his boots made click-clocking noises when he ran
• MARTA operates buses
• Buses have unique problems and unique bus stops and unique bus drivers and unique bus passengers
• The Castleberry Hill neighborhood reminded me of the Bellavista neighborhood in Santiago, Chile for all the art attractions and new, colorful businesses
• Walking can be meditative
