Originally built in 1912, the bridge has fell out of use a while ago, and now just the beginning remains on the west side of the highway.

We found this place on a Reddit thread and the Yelp reviews seemed promising after looking for…read moreplaces to go on our first trip to Atlanta. Sadly, this place didn't meet our expectations. We thought the options were basic, although different varieties, and weren't completely satisfied with the food we ordered. The service was nothing to rave about either but at least the restrooms and tables were clean. We also loved being able to walk on the trails in the surrounding neighborhood. We ordered a margarita pizza from Varuni, which was the most underwhelming if not disappointing pizza in our opinion. The crust was too soggy and the sauce was sour. It tasted like they just used a can of uncooked crushed tomatoes. We also ordered the fried turkey platter from Soul since we've never had southern comfort food. The turkey was seasoned well but was a bit dry and over fried, again just our opinion. Nonetheless, it was a better value and had more flavor than the pizza because the candied yams were delicious! Finally, we got after-meal drinks from Little Tart and the coffee was good. Overall, it wasn't the worst experience but we probably wouldn't eat at this food hall again. I would still suggest it to other first-timers since the location was really nice and it's good for groups because of the different options. The surrounding area is also a nice change from downtown, which is where we stayed.

Without the graffiti this would be just another dank, gray, slightly sinister or drably boring traffic tunnel with vehicles choking pedestrians with exhaust. But now you get spray can fumes added to the mix! A couple people have also said urine stench. I didn't happen to smell that on my two trips on my southern sojourn but I believe it offends nostrils at times. I did see a homeless person who I tried not to disturb as well. That's life in a big city though. The Ann Arbor graffiti alley back home sometimes gets the homeless and sometimes you might smell piss there, especially in one certain spot. I'd venture to say you'd get both those things with or without graffiti and the stream of artists and onlookers might even have some looking for bushes nearby instead of relieving themselves here. I spotted lots of young people going to and from bars on a weekend night. I'm sure lots of weed is smoked here and tons of pictures are taken. How many pictures would be taken here without the graffiti? And right around the corner at one end is a massive wall stretching for I don't know how long covered with huge colorful murals for as far as I walked. So, hey, legal murals are represented, too and a nice primer on "graffiti vs. street art" is there for anyone to take in. This here tunnel probably keeps more than a few malcontents from tagging any of those murals. Local color aplenty here and it's constantly changing. I think I like it better than the Ann Arbor graffiti alley though my sample size here is admittedly small, just a couple nights in February 2026 as opposed to dozens of trips stretching over a few years in Ann Arbor.

And full of every sort of eating/drinking/shopping experience you & your group could want. Even with its appeal to tourists, I'd have to imagine that locals* regularly patronize the building (and shops within). I came here with a huge group on an overcast Wednesday in mid-spring. Lots of people. Lots of agendas. Everyone was sated. Why? Because PCM is home to a bevy of experiences. I really enjoy repurposed old warehouses. From the sweeping ceilings to the ironwork to the beautiful old wood, they're reminders of why some things are meant to be kept and protected -- even when the old shell reveals something new inside. I detached from my group and went feral. I was here to eat but I wanted to explore. I did some window shopping and people watching. I attempted to access the roof but I needed a ticket or some such nonsense (Atlanta still has to Atlanta). But if you have the time and patience to get a ticket, you should check it out. I eventually settled on dinner and dessertS (reviews to come) and enjoyed every bite. There's a reason why PCM is a part of external-facing media when it comes to Atlanta. And I'm pleased to report that it acquits itself nicely. Even if it's out of your way and/or not in your plan to visit, make the time to do so. I think you'll be happy that you did. *I do understand the annoyance at parking issues being a deterrent to visiting. That struggle is real and universal.
