Say goodbye to the Gulch and hello to Centennial Yards

ATLANTA - The area known as the Gulch is set to be transformed from a giant empty spot in the middle of downtown Atlanta, and Channel 2’s Dave Huddleston was the only Atlanta reporter to meet with the developer of the project Tuesday, which will now be know as Centennial Yards.

Devon McCorkle told Huddleston that the name reflects the area’s rich history of the Olympics and the rail yards that built this city.

"We wanted a name that was authentic," McCorkle said. “One that would make clear where the project was located and also honor the history of the site."
