One Square Mile: Little Five Points, Atlanta, Georgia

September 2024 · 1 minute read

Little Five Points is Atlanta’s undisputed cool neighborhood. Named after the site where the former Underground Atlanta shopping area once was, the stretch along Moreland Avenue NE is home to an independent radio station, vintage stores, vegan restaurants and a skate shop run by some pros, making it an offbeat haven. The area is also known for its high concentration of street art from local artists.
