If you look forward to leafing through Creative Loafing’s Annual Neighborhood Issue, with little write ups about some your favorite Atlanta neighborhoods and a list of “Neighborhood Picks”, this is your week to stop by one of Decatur’s regulated green newspaper boxes and pick up a copy.  As this year’s intro states…

For this year’s Neighborhood Issue, we wanted to capture that sense of pride Atlantans have for their neighborhoods. The best way to do that, we figured, was a series of offbeat tours from neighborhood residents that showcase the underappreciated and wacky charms of 23 intown communities. In this issue, you’ll find a late-night patrol in Castleberry Hill with the Crimson Fist, a tour of the Westside on horseback with the Urban Cowboy, a dog walk through Buckhead, a crack-of-dawn workout in Midtown’s Piedmont Park, and more, as well as lists of the residents’ favorite neighborhood haunts.

Here are easy links for the neighborhoods in and around Decatur:

• Decatur/Oakhurst
• Avondale Estates
• Emory/Druid Hills
• Kirkwood
