And I’ve finished the anagrammed MARTA map. Enjoy… I think some of these anagrams are really funny. Click on the thumbnail below to view full-size.
(I can only hope that MARTA is more lenient about fair use rights than the London Underground, who forced someone to pull a similar parody down…)
(Here’s the real version of MARTA’s map, for reference’s and comparison’s sake.)

Awesome anagrams! I had no idea you could make such words out of MARTA names.
Curses. It appears that you posted your anagram-remix of MARTA mere hours before my own. See?
Still, I’m quite impressed with the similarities, some right down to the letter. After all, when you have the opportunity to use “Antacid Yolk,” you just have to do it.
er… pretty funny, but “Vine of Spit” isn’t a true anagram for Five Points (where’s the F?)… how about “Pit of Vines” instead ?
doh!… I gotta drink more coffee in the morning.
Adam: It’s just like the old ‘count the F’s in this sentence’ trick… it’s way too easy to skip over ‘of’. Don’t feel bad; I have those moments all too frequently as well. 🙂
Rude Cat was closest, but I generally used Naval Ode. Funny stuff, this.
This is a great map. Lots of fun for a former Atlanta resident (just a mile from the Rude Cat station).
Hey, thanks for letting me know about this. I posted the link on my blog.
I killed a Saturday morn on this too.
Here’s my AM RAT map:
