Street View
This mural on Forest Park’s Main Street was painted in 2017 by John W, Christian. It combines a bit of civic booster sloganeering with nostalgic and aspirational elements. An early 20th-century Main Street retail strip and steam locomotive share space with a MARTA bus, a passenger jet coming in for a landing at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, and a futuristic high-speed rail train. Signs for Fort Gillem, Gillem Logistics Center, and the State Farmers Market are tucked into the upper corners. Photos by Robin Kemp.
