Yet this is merely one of many abandoned and dilapidated apartment buildings around Atlanta that have been razed in the past year. A dozen buildings in the Essex Court Apartments on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, the Wishing Well Apartments in southeast Atlanta and an abandoned apartment complex at 2020 Allison Court in southwest Atlanta met with a similar fate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Generic image via Wikimedia Commons, author <a title=\"User:Snek01\" href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/User%3ASnek01\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Michal Ma\u0148as<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After receiving countless complaints from community members, the city of Atlanta decided to tear down an old and abandoned apartment complex in Southwest Atlanta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1489,21742],"tags":[39387,1815],"class_list":["post-1004079677","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-atlanta","category-latest","tag-atlanta","tag-national"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
