Do Decatur!

As many of you know by now, Creative Loafing’s latest issue features a “Do” list for many of Atlanta’s most interesting and entertaining “neighborhoods”. Here’s Decatur’s intro…
Just a few miles from downtown Atlanta down Ponce de Leon Avenue sits what’s arguably metro Atlanta’s most desired suburb — a progressive enclave of quaint homes, solid restaurants, a walkable downtown, and tight-knit neighborhoods that are very protective of the community they’ve created. And with well-performing schools and a high quality of life, the city’s managed to attract young families, its laid-back attitude has lured the LGBT community, and its proximity to Emory University and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gives it an academic vibe.
DM may have even received a mention. A very pleasant surprise.
Huzzah!
natch
From downtown, you’d have to head down Decatur St./Dekalb Ave/W. Howard Ave. Just saying. 😉
Yeah, baby!
liked their comments and agreed with most. I laughed when they mentioned that downtown was developed around transit–I think transit was placed downtown. Totally agree about the old twosome on the square, I’ve never loved them the way many do, enough already. Totally pleased by the shout outs for book festival and wine festival, one is big and the other small but both are perfectly Decatur events.
Very cool about the DM shout out. “The city’s sounding board and virtual gathering place” nicely sums it up, at least until DawgFan, Scott, JoeBlow and KeithF bring it down to the gutter 😉
Yes, congrats on the DM shoutout, very true.
