This one-time mill town, now a neighborhood of colorful, closely packed shotgun mill houses, is one of Atlanta's rediscovered neighborhoods. It is the oldest industrial settlement in Atlanta, and was originally the home of Atlanta Rolling Mill, which was burned during the Atlanta Campaign.
This neighborhood was a Union camp during the Civil War and its own city until 1908. The hilly park in the middle of the neighborhood has a par-three, nine-hole public golf course, and the small, thriving business district has eclectic boutiques and restaurants.
This gentrified neighborhood is on the National Registry of Historic Places. The mostly 20th century buildings are the setting for one of the hottest art scenes in the city.
This 21-acre park, with inscribed bricks, the Fountain of Rings and sculptures, is a permanent legacy to the 1996 Olympic games. Check for weekly events.
The South's largest and most unusual antiques district, Chamblee's Antique Row features more than 200 merchants and dealers hawking everything from Depression-era glass to Americana and furniture. www.antiquerow.com.
