With the addition and almost completion of the Atlanta Beltline’s Eastside Trail Extension, the Cabbagetown and Reynoldstown neighborhoods may see an influx of people enjoying the sidewalks. With a good majority of the extension heading up and down Wylie St., the art along the walls blocking the view of the CSX train yard may get a lot more popular. As of now, a section of the wall near Krog St. Tunnel has already undergone a partial transformation with new graffiti art up and gaining traction. I have photographed some of the newer pieces by themselves but at the bottom of this post I am adding panoramic photos that I have taken starting at the Krog St. Tunnel and making my way up towards Stein Steel.

Artist Lela Brunet’s yellow piece of art is the first one to be seen after turning onto Wylie St. from the Krog St. Tunnel intersection.

Blue Leopard. Artist Unknown. A new addition to the wall along Wylie St. right next to Krog St. Tunnel.

Heads reminiscent of comic book characters such as the the Human Torch and Magneto float along the red worded background of a newer piece of art near the Krog St. Tunnel side of Wylie St.
