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.

DM may have even received a mention.  A very pleasant surprise.
