Ponce City Market... Revitalizing a Neighborhood

I was a little premature posting this video last month. Jamestown had made a mistake and released it early. They promptly took the video down, leaving NUR readers disappointed. Well, they finally released it officially. So, I'm updating this post with the new link...

When it is all said and done, it will be an amazing reuse of one of Atlanta's most iconic historic buildings. We are used to seeing great reuse of historic properties here in Roswell.
