Auburn Ave NE 1. The Trolley Barn Edgewood Ave NE (www.thetrolleybarn.com) Inman Park Trolley Barn was the center of trans- ter Ave NE 1 portation for the neighborhood dubbed ‘Atlanta’s DeKalb first Suburb.’ The trolley transported people to and from downtown, and as the hub of activity for the area, the community grew up around it. Over the 2 years the facility has been preserved and refur- Wylie St SE bished, and now operates as a nostalgic space that can be rented out for special events and Cabbagetown private parties. 3 Reynoldstown LEFT (south) on Krog Street. 0.2 mi ial

Inman Park ends. Cabbagetown begins. Cemetery Tech H 2. Hulsey Yard Memorial Dr 4 Gibson St SE Hulsey Rail Yard is an inter-modal (‘piggyback’) freight transfer facility owned by CSX. Trains un- load their goods onto trailer trucks for further transport, and this transfer also happens in reverse – truck to train. Its massive size (approx. 33 miles of track on the lot) and location (directly crossing the corridor’s path ) present a challenge to con- necting the BeltLine from the Inman Park area north Glenwood Ave SE of Dekalb Avenue to the Cabbagetown and Reyn- oldstown neighborhoods south of Dekalb Avenue.

3. Cabbagetown/Reynoldstown StWaldo SE

Pearl Street straddles the border of two historic Maynard H. Atlanta neighborhoods, Cabbagetown (to the west) Jackson and Reynoldstown (to the east). Reynoldstown was a settlement for freed slaves and was named after Parkside Madison Reynolds, an ex-slave and entrepreneur who ran a popular grocery store in the area. The store’s building still stands on Wylie Street. The BeltLine Corridor Major Roads Interstate Highways communities served as villages for railroad workers and workers in mills, including the Fulton Bag and BeltLine Tour Route Existing Parks MARTA Cotton Mill, just west of Cabbagetown. Adjoining BeltLine Trail Proposed Parks Schools LEGEND Cabbagetown along its western end is Oakland Cemetery, one of the city’s most interesting and his- torically significant parks.

Its 21 acres will stretch over several properties at this site that were acquired by the Trust for Public Land and sold to the City in June 2007.
