Marta Station located at Little Five Points across from Underground Atlanta.

Little Five Points is one of the central parts of Atlanta because it separates the county line between Fulton and DeKalb County. I decided to visit Little Five Points near one of the Marta station bus pickups and train exit. I chose this place because you are able to see the different people that come in and out of the area from Marta.

I observed many people using the Marta train as one of the was to commute from different areas to get to Atlanta. Many people walk quickly without speaking to one another. While they where walking many people don’t stay in Five Points for long they crossed intersections to get to different parts of the city. Like the picture to the left many people walk into the Marta station or out to go get to their destination.

Broad Street Plaza outside Marta station

I observed that unlike others who used the Marta Station to get from one place to the other, many others stayed at the the areas surrounding Marta. I witnessed some of Atlanta’s homeless population hang around outside of Little Five Points during my time there. The picture to the right, which is located on Broad Street Plaza, shows how it was populated by the homeless community. Stores such as, Rainbow and restaurants surround the Plaza outside the Marta station where these homeless people are located; however, I did not witness any of the people who came in or out of the Marta Station visit either of the restaurants or stores.
