Luckie Marietta is a district of Downtown Atlanta named after Luckie and Marietta Streets, surrounding Centennial Olympic Park. The district's name has been promoted since 2007 by Legacy Properties, in support of their redevelopment projects in the district.〔(Leon Stafford, "Builder wants to make downtown district a destination", ''Atlanta Journal-Constitution, July 26, 2008 )〕〔(Carpenter and Company )〕 However, "Luckie Marietta" is used by a wide range of Atlanta media to refer to the district.〔(Google News Archive Search on term "Luckie Marietta District" on November 10, 2011 )〕 The area was mostly one of industrial and warehouse use (see map) and was in decline after the mid-20th century, even after Centennial Olympic Park was built for the 1996 Olympics. Developer Legacy's stated goals were to create a district within Downtown Atlanta that would contain entertainment, hotel accommodations and restaurants all within walking distance of each other and of the nearby Georgia Dome, Philips Arena, Georgia World Congress Center, CNN Center, World of Coca-Cola and Georgia Aquarium. It would lure visitors to stay, dine, and be entertained near those facilities and attractions instead of in the Peachtree Center area of Downtown or even Buckhead. Whereas a few years prior, few facilities existed in the area, by 2011, the district counted 25 restaurants and 6 hotels, the Ventana events center and a helipad.〔(Walking Map, Luckie Marietta District website )〕 The area is set to add the College Football Hall of Fame and Times Square South to its roster of attractions. Currently the District has 23 restaurants, 24 attractions and retail, 6 hotels, 8 sponsors and a helipad. ==College Football Hall of Fame== The College Football Hall of Fame is to move to a new facility on the southwest side of Marietta Street, between Foundry and Baker Streets.〔http://www.atlwebmag.com/atlanta-lands-college-football-hall-of-fame-site/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Luckie Marietta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
