There was lots of traffic, was it worth it?

22/12/2008 12:38:31 -08:00

This area is sort of noisy and really busy. I don't know if the atmosphere and the people were worth the shop I actually came down here looking for. After I asked the 2nd rude person, I finally was pointed in the right direction of the Boutique Africa. Now from the descripition, I was hoping to find...

Perfect place for families with small children.

22/12/2008 12:26:05 -08:00

I visited my best friend who just bought a home in this Buckhead neighborhood. Now as for the atmosphere. It seems pretty normal. Women sneer and men drool and new faces. She said she was pretty much welcomed with open arms. We sat on the porch in the late evening about 6 pm. I noticed there hardley...

The end reveals nothing!

22/12/2008 12:20:42 -08:00

This is almost the very end of Rosewell Rd. There aren't as many shops as there were earlier on in the drive. I notice the shopping plazas started getting more spaced out and smaller every 7 miles. I guess this is the desolate part of Rosewell. For those who don't come out often. There are a few sma...

My family's street. Pretty Nice

22/12/2008 11:46:10 -08:00

Rockland Dr is the actual street my cousin lives on. His house is pretty huge with a circular driveway, like most homes out here. It's too quiet out here for me but my Auntie and uncle love it. The nearest store you have to be driven to. The only indulgence is a Mickey D's at the intersection of Roc...

Dirty, Noisy and Dangerous

22/12/2008 11:19:33 -08:00

This is a dirty, noisy and dangerous street. I was waiting to meet someone in this area and noticed how dirty the street was, it was a weekday and the noise level from people outside was terrible. I was approached by someone offering to sell me drugs. I would never go near this area again.

Drove down this road looking for the music studio.

22/12/2008 11:16:20 -08:00

I decided one my week trip to Atlanta to ride with my cousin to the Atlanta Music Studio.

Close to a lot of places, not the best place to live

22/12/2008 10:34:33 -08:00

Winton terrace is just homes, a lot of which only have on street parking so the street is generally very crowded. Because the streets are always crowded with cars, the streets arn't generally clean and have debris from dead trees and leafs all over. The area isn't particullarly unsafe but its not th...

Great for shopping and breakfast

22/12/2008 10:25:27 -08:00

McLendon is a really cute and quiet street and has a small section with a few interesting shops and restuarants.

You don't want to live on this street.

22/12/2008 09:49:28 -08:00

A handful of the houses on this street or near this street got broken into when I was living there. We couldnt really sit outside on our porch without someone coming over and asking us for something whether it was a beer or for money. There were a handful of fights in the streets between neighbor ho...

Glen Iris is nothing special

22/12/2008 09:41:00 -08:00

This street is not horrible but it goes from an alright area to a "don't walk around alone at night" area back to an alright area as you go down it. It all depends on which section you live on. There arnt many retail shops or restaurants on this street, it is manly homes and some apartment buildings...

Don't waste your money...

22/12/2008 09:40:21 -08:00

Don't waste your time or money going to Baker Street. If your going to the GA Aquarium stop and go somewhere else. This place is a joke.

nice small street with a few houses, Noisy

16/12/2008 19:15:33 -08:00

This street is located between Emery st and Howell Mill Rd. The interstate is right behind it, so its pretty noisy over here.

Perfect Place for Families away from city life

16/12/2008 18:47:43 -08:00

Lambert Dr NE is very hidden and far away from most of the fun areas of Atlanta, but it is home to some of the most creative people in town.

Business Business Business

10/12/2008 21:13:22 -08:00

Bishop drive is filled with industrial business and office space. Not a place to look for houses. I had an office here and though the office space rent was cheap, did not like the area. Numerous record labels and recording studios call the 500 block of bishop home. This causes a lot of loud noise an...

Unbeatable Intown Combination

07/08/2008 14:30:39 -07:00

Close to downtown and minutes from great restaurants (Bacchanalia, JCT, FAB), and nightlife (Door 44, Vision, Northside Tavern and all of Midtown), while in a semi-sleepy residential neighborhood. We cannot believe the sense of community that we feel here. It sometime feels like an episode of that...

"Busy hustle and bustlers"

30/05/2008 14:22:39 -07:00

The road where you can find the CDC, Emory Clinic and EU Hospital and Wesley Woods all in the same vicinity. Clifton Road has everything you need minus an actual place to live, except if you're either a doctor, college student or a patient. Some patients do actually live in the hospital, I'm serious...

"Soooo serene it is..."

30/05/2008 14:15:31 -07:00

Have you ever driven road that was so perfect, it looked as if no one lived there. Well, this road is almost like that. Ok, nevermind the Clifton Road traffic, but when you just drive by all the houses there, you see PERFECTION!. Some of these houses aren't even the most newest or the biggest houses...

"Great to be downtown"

30/05/2008 14:02:46 -07:00

Well they say downtown is always fun. It's true if you like being in traffic all the time, but accessible to everything. Fourteenth street is pretty much like the rest of the numbered streets. Lot's of pavement, plenty of bums asking for spare change, and even some nice attractions to go to.

The...

Can you say Lil' Mexico

30/05/2008 13:51:59 -07:00

If you can read many of the signage in spanish than maybe you would recognize all that Buford Highway has to offer. This is indeed a highway but also small enough to be considered a street.

It connects 'downtown' with 'midtown' and all along the way you'll enjoy the many shoppes, casitas and rest...

Can you say Lil' Mexico

30/05/2008 13:51:57 -07:00

A safe haven- NOT!

30/05/2008 12:28:10 -07:00

Memorial Drive is a loooong street. I mean it runs forever, connecting Atlanta all the way down 'til Decatur where it's greater. Memorial Drive is probably called just that because theu have stips malls galore, soul food and ethnic restaurants and every hair, nail and barber shop you can think of! Y...

A college street with college values

30/05/2008 11:55:48 -07:00

Clairmont Road is a hip street if you are a college student or if you have a family. You do not need a car to get around, you can go by foot, bike or a nice set of skates. There are restaurants out the wazoo! Willy's Mexican Grill is my favorite.

There are several bookstores to make you feel sma...

Noisy and you need to have a friend with you

So If you like to travel with a friend then I must say you should when you visit Peachtree NE. Pretty much any Peachtree Road, Street of Place in Atlanta. After all you'll most likely end up on any of the 'Peachtree' pavements because there are a dozen.

This particular one is one of the less urba...

"Way too overpriced"

30/05/2008 11:17:06 -07:00

This street is EXACTLY how it sounds--for the EXECUTIVES! If you are big-time, then this street is the place for you! Recently this street had a HUG apartment complex that was built. The price to rent these apartments, yes I did say apartments are about 2 g's per month.

Now, I must also say that...

A nice hub if you have some mulah!

30/05/2008 10:56:48 -07:00

Well Lavista Road is a happening place but you really need to have some mulah before you even think about moving over there.There are tons of beautiful eye-catching houses mixed in with the most beautiful greenery that you can imagine. It seems like every neighbor there knows how to make their lawn...

Quiet and a nice place to walk the dog

30/05/2008 10:35:48 -07:00

North Druid is one of the best streets to walk your dog, jog with friends and do just about anything fun!
This road is pretty long, extending from Buckhead all the way to Lawrenceville Highway. Two major interstates are easily accessible from this street. It is probably better to access any of the...

Working-class on one end, leisure-class on the other

27/05/2008 08:52:51 -07:00

South of Ponce de Leon, Highland Avenue is a working-class neighborhood with dozens of apartment buildings with homes under $1000 a month. They range in style from depressing concrete panelak to arty Brooklyn-style railroad flat. There's an independent video store here, as well as a tavern or two...

Homes and shopping in the Emory area

27/05/2008 08:39:52 -07:00

North Decatur Road starts at Briarcliff Road. In this neighborhood, North Decatur is a residential street with nice homes and not much going on. There's a tiny traffic circle at Lullwater with signs warning that the yield signs are enforced by camera, but I've never spotted the cameras or figured...

Gorgeous shortcut from Virginia-Highland to the highway

27/05/2008 08:27:35 -07:00

Nobody lives on Freedom Parkway. Not by choice, anyway. That's surprising, because it's a gorgeous road with very few intersections and lots of parkland popular with joggers and cyclists. On the other hand, there are no driveways on Freedom Parkway, so there are no homes there either. Yes, a few...

Shopping center with built-in lofts and condos

27/05/2008 08:13:10 -07:00

Caroline Street is in the middle of the Edgewood Shopping District. It might be fairer to say that Caroline Street IS the Edgewood Shopping District; on both sides of the street, you'll see small shops (GameStop, Five Guys, American Deli), and parking lots for large anchor stores (Lowe's, Best Buy,...

Georgia State's restaurant row

27/05/2008 08:01:14 -07:00

Just north of the Five Points MARTA station, Broad Street is home to student-friendly restaurants with patio seating. If you're craving Asian fast food, you'll find it here at Georgia's Best Bento and BBQ (don't be fooled by the name; it's run of the mill Chinese takeout, but plentiful and affordab...

The street where nobody lives

27/05/2008 07:50:46 -07:00

Collins Street barely registers on the consciousness of most Atlantans, even though many will drive past it on their way through downtown. It's only two blocks long and entirely within the campus of Georgia State University.

If you're on Collins Street, you probably can't see the sun. That's...

Quiet, walkable, and great shops

27/05/2008 07:32:58 -07:00

Monroe Drive extends north from Ponce de Leon Avenue to Interstate 85 (also known locally as the Northeast Expressway). At the south end, you'll find a gas station where you're guaranteed to be asked for change. A mile north of there, Monroe Drive is a swinging hotspot for hippies and the yuppies...

The road less taken

27/05/2008 07:22:31 -07:00

South Ponce de Leon Ave NE (could we somehow cram "West" in there?) is a short, quiet street bordering narrow parkland and palatial homes. It runs parallel to Ponce de Leon (the main drag in the neighborhood), but is about half its speed. Oddly, South Ponce exists in two discrete pieces, looping b...

From Little 5 Points to "You in the hood now"

27/05/2008 07:13:59 -07:00

Moreland Avenue runs south from Ponce de Leon through Little 5 Points (L5P) and beyond. In Little 5 Points, Moreland Avenue is the main drag. There's almost no parking streetside, and most stores will tow or boot your car immediately if you leave the premises. On the other hand, Moreland is so wa...

Used to go to and from Atlanta

25/05/2008 19:48:02 -07:00

Interstate 85 runs concurrent with Interstate 75 until you get out of Atlanta. You can use I-85 to go from Atlanta to Greenville, South Carolina. The road has some really rough spots and could use some road work. You have to watch the speed limit because unlike most interstates it goes from 55 to 65...

Just your average Interstate

25/05/2008 19:43:43 -07:00

Interstate 20 is really your average interstate...needs road work, traffic can be very congested during certain times of the day, and accidents can cause major traffic jams.

Bypass Around Atlanta

25/05/2008 19:40:18 -07:00

Interstate 285 is the bypass around Atlanta. The traffic can be heavy at times but usually not as congested as the interstates going through Atlanta. It is a great road to take if there is any construction or road work going on on the other interstates or if there has been an accident that is holdin...

Very Congested Interstate

25/05/2008 19:37:08 -07:00

Interstate 75 is one of the main roads coming in to and going out of Atlanta. The traffic is very congested all of the time and there is always road work and construction going on which causes very bad traffic jams. The one good thing about Interstate 75 is that it will get to just about anywhere is...

Felt Very Unsafe

25/05/2008 19:21:33 -07:00

I felt very unsafe driving along this road. There are a lot of homeless people walking around all over Ponce De Leon and they get really close to your car begging for anything that you may give them. There are a lot of big company headquarters here. I do not recommend driving this road unless you th...

Everyone Needs to Visit Here

This is the Business District

25/05/2008 19:00:11 -07:00

Trinity Avenue in Atlanta is where the Atlanta City Hall is located. Most buildings on this road are occupied by businesses so there is not much to do here.

One Smart Street

19/05/2008 18:31:40 -07:00

This is a great street, especially if you are young and are in need of either education, fun, or a little bit of both. This is an amazing place to be during the week as all you see are young people coming and going to classes, being social and just having a good time.
The weekends can be really fun...

I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech

16/05/2008 08:57:13 -07:00

Boy do I like Urban College Campuses. Atlanta has one of the best. The Georgia Tech Campus is large and very interesting. Probably the best way to get a real feel for this campus is to pick a very busy school day and traverse the campus on Ferst St. This street basically forms a circle inside the ca...

16/05/2008 08:46:06 -07:00

Not to be disrespectful but his area is smack dab in the middle of where the horiffic tornado hit downtown Atlanta last summer. Happily things are back to normal an open for buisness.

epitomy of city life

15/05/2008 09:27:10 -07:00

this street is the epitomy of city and street life and is a main reason why people avoid cities and Atlanta.

Private and quiet

15/05/2008 09:16:16 -07:00

This street is a nice one to live on. Luckily, they haven't destroyed this area by building a bunch of square box homes that make a neighborhood look like a bad nintendo game.

Come to find out the person in the...

Because of the Market

29/04/2008 13:29:12 -07:00

Although this street is dead smack in the middle of Atlanta and is a little rough around the edges I still love it, it has a charm.

No bars or clubs nearby. A few restaurants, but most are very pricey or fast food. Except for O.K. Cafe, it's an Atlanta landmark and has decent homestyle southern food for average prices.

The highway is right outside my window, but most of the people who live on this street live in the expen...

Industrial Area Transforming Into Trendy

30/03/2007 10:43:12 -07:00

I've lived in Midtown West // Westside since 2001 - and it is really transforming.

I enjoyed the more industrial edge that kept most people away for a while - it is becoming crowded and noisy as the trend setters start moving in and housing prices are really starting to move up out of the afford...
