Atlanta Street Art in Little Five Points
Almost all these pieces are in an old eastern neighborhood of Atlanta called Little Five Points. Most buildings and design dates from around 1900-1930, with a sprinking of new buildings. Atlanta's population surged from around 90,000 to over 290,000 (It was only 9,000 before the Civil War) in this period, which saw the development of many walkable, streetcar suburbs.
Little Five Points has an amazing number of vintage clothing stores; lots of planned murals and high quality street art. I wish we had more time to explore here.

Quick Trip to Atlanta: Several Posts On The Way
Me and Jean were lucky enough to get a mini vacation / business trip to Atlanta, squeezing in as much as we could, including a holiday tour of the historic Fox Theater, The High Museum, Emory University and The Atlanta History Center. Surprisingly, some significant areas of the city are walkable.
Several posts are on the way with thoughts about transit, neighborhoods, architecture and several museum visits.
