A city best seen up close

Atlanta does not reveal itself from the interstate. Its best places hide in strip malls, in old mill and warehouse buildings along the Beltline, and on tree-shaded streets in Inman Park, Kirkwood and the West End. With traffic on the Downtown Connector being what it is, knowing the good option near you makes all the difference.
