This is "Atlanta's Central Park" - now accessible via the Atlanta Beltline, so you could walk or bike from my house if you are up for some exercise. Nice views of the Midtown skyline; rimmed with eateries. Great for rollerblading, biking or walking. There is a nice public pool and tennis courts.

Essentials

I would have put down "Kroger" but it's about to close for a year for remodeling. In this shopping center there is a variety of good stores for finding what you need, including Staples, PetSmart, TJMaxx, Massage Envy, WellsFargo ATM, etc.

Located in a warehouse setting, the decor is something to be seen. Food is good, but it can get a bit lively [read: noisy]. Within walking distance, or a super-short drive/Uber trip.
