After months of construction, Three Taverns Imaginarium at Memorial Drive’s Atlanta Dairies redevelopment will be opening in late October 2020.
The Imaginarium is part of the Three Taverns Brewery family in Decatur, which is known for its fresh brews. Paces Properties, which is the developer behind Atlanta Dairies, announced the news in a press release.
This means that the Memorial Drive corridor will continue its reputation as a place where some of the best bars in Atlanta can be found.
Three Taverns Imaginarium To Open At Atlanta Dairies
“Following delays brought on by COVID-19, we are happy to finally have Three Taverns Imaginarium open to our Atlanta Dairies community,” said David Cochran, president and CEO of Paces Properties. “As a well-known Georgia brewery and with a successful flagship location in Decatur, Three Taverns has grown to become a prominent Atlanta brand. We are confident the Imaginarium will be welcomed with open arms by the surrounding neighborhoods and beyond.”

The Southside Trail of the Beltline has opened to the public. City officials commemorated the event, which has been anticipated for years.
Walkers, joggers can now travel 12 miles total on the Atlanta Beltline, officials said this week. The path is all gravel as of now, but will be beautified in the future.
Southside Trail of the Beltline opens to the public
The opening of the Southside Trail is important because it bridges University Avenue and connects the Eastside and Westside Trails.
The Southside Trail, still considered in what is called an “interim” state, is four miles in length and connects the Westside and Eastside Trails with plenty of mobility options and programming.
What’s new on the Beltline Southside Trail?
The Southside Trail of the Beltline is unpaved but has gravel for easy walking. It also gives you access to 11 public streets.
“I am delighted for the opportunity this represents for the residents of south and southwest Atlanta,” said Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms. “Already, in an interim state, the Atlanta BeltLine Southside Trail is having a profound impact on affordable housing, jobs, and the economy in the surrounding communities.”
City officials will now turn their attention to linking the respective trails so that the public can easily access them.
“Linking the west and east sides of the Atlanta BeltLine is a top priority,” said Clyde Higgs, President and CEO of Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. “We recognize that this connectivity has been highly anticipated by our neighbors along the southern corridor. We are thrilled for this milestone and future construction.”

The Atlanta Beltline winds through some of the most picturesque areas of the city. And no wonder, since it is one of the most celebrated civic projects in the nation. And it’s about to get a lot more beautiful.
The Beltline is currently requesting proposals for Art on the Atlanta BeltLine’s ninth year. Artists are asked to submit to have their work displayed in the annual temporary exhibition along the Beltline’s many parks and trails.

Signaling a deeper commitment to the community, this year’s exhibition will have a more local flavor.
“The vision for Art on the Atlanta BeltLine 2018 will break with the traditional template of prior exhibitions,” Miranda Kyle, Beltline Arts and Culture program manager, said in a statement. “We intend to be responsive to our Atlanta BeltLine communities, building on the strength of Atlanta’s rich history and culture and reflecting the intersectionality of Atlanta’s diverse art scene.”
Artists, professionals and collectives are encouraged to submit works that are well-researched and relevant. Here are the components of the exhibition open to artists, as written by the Beltline:
- Atlanta BeltLine Walls – A two-week-long mural festival at the beginning of August. Artists will work on their walls side by side for the duration of the festival, culminating in a grand reveal and community celebration at the end of the festival.
- Performance Series – Artists are invited to perform along the Atlanta BeltLine corridor throughout the timeframe of the exhibition. These performances are not limited in number of times the performances may occur, nor are they subject to any specific dates on which performances must occur. These are designed to act as a pop-up style events to creatively activate and celebrate the corridor in many locations.
- Atlanta BeltLine Concert Series – Unlike its pop-up style counterpart, these may take place in several BeltLine parks including Historic Fourth Ward Park, Gordon White Park, the multipurpose field at Historic Fourth Ward Skatepark, and Piedmont Park. The Concert Series provides opportunities for artists that have technical requirements, and those who need a fixed location. The dates for these will be: August 18th and 25th, 2018.
- Inertia – Artists and Professionals are invited to submit proposals for this year’s sculpture exhibition along the Atlanta BeltLine corridor. Sculptures may simultaneously function as a bench, pavilion, or other infrastructural component.
- Lecture Series – Artists and Professionals are invited to submit proposals for panel or individual discussion to address topics related to Arts & Culture, Ethics & Responsibility, Equity, Affordability, Science & Education, and Transit.
- Special Projects – We invite Atlanta arts and culture organizations to submit proposals that use the Atlanta BeltLine to show your work/project, host a pop-up event, and many other exciting ideas.
Proposals are due March 16, 2018. Submissions will be accepted via art.beltline.org through callforentry.org. The complete proposal and more information is available at art.beltline.org.
