A few stations away on the MARTA track from the heart of Atlanta is a town named Decatur, named after Stephen Decatur, a United States Navy officer at the turn of the 19th Century. Like I have mentioned in a previous posting, Decatur is is home to about 18,000 Georgians and is just to the west of I-285 and a few miles east I-75 and I-85 in the heart of metropolitan Atlanta.
Its citizens are a very friendly sort, where conversation is bound to start up somewhere as you pass by all the local businesses and shops. There are a wide variety of things to buy, eat, drink, and play on the main streets of Decatur, and the place is most certainly lively on any day of the week. As you leave the train station, you will notice all the people in or around all over the shops or the green spaces. The city hall is well within walking distance of just about anywhere within the town as well as the high school and Agnes Scott College, which is the all girls school located in the southern part of this community.
People all over this neighborhood enjoy living in it so much that they keep a multitude of blogs to share stories and make announcements; the most famous of which is inDECATUR, a blog that boasts just about 7 posts a day from all you can think of.
Below are some of the pictures I took with my phone while I was there. (Please Click on each of them to see them in full view)
