This is a clip of the sound on Peachtree street, which is very loud. The main sound that you can hear is cars. In the very back ground you can hear music from various businesses, people walking on the side walk, bags rustling, and much more. This a great example of what a busy day on Peachtree street would sound like.

The sidewalk on Peachtree Street isn’t like normal sidewalks on average Atlanta streets. These sidewalks are tiled with designs. This shows how the designers wanted Peachtree Street to have a different feel from other parts of Atlanta. Even most of the streets have these patterns. So from the ground to the top of the building there is a sense of elegance and superiority.

First off I almost got arrested for taking this picture, but I am stubborn so I took it anyway. These are flags of various countries. This place doesn’t seem to fit in with the general aesthetic of Peachtree Street. It just kind of pops out from the glamorous and elegant buildings. It is a big area guarded by a security guard sitting right next to a CVS.

This is a great example of the huge signs across many building at Peachtree street. This sign shows the contrast between flashy colors and elegant simple colors of some establishments. The Westin is a high end hotel and you can tell just by the crisp smooth edges of the building and sign as well as the plain and dull colors.

This is a sign that was outside of a restaurant. It is a bright color which is deliberate. This is smart and effective, the sign caught my eye immediately. The sign is also right in the path were people walk on the side walk. This is smart because a person has no chose but to look at the sign. There are a lot of these signs up and down Peachtree street.
