The Old Lady rode the MARTA train in Atlanta for the first time since 1984 – 35 years!

Forget Space Mountain and the Tilt-a-Whirl. The Old Lady gets her kicks from screeching rails and The World’s Longest Escalator – now THAT’S a thrill ride!

She is excited by the top-down view on the city of her growing up years – so much has changed, so much is the same, and so much has been painted over with the brilliant colors of free-range public art.

But the trains are the same.

“They haven’t changed a thing,” she observed, “except that all those people who used to stare out the windows to avoid looking at each other are now staring down at their phones.”
