Posted April 16, 200619 yr It was a nice day yesterday so I decided to head to Little 5 Points and Chamblee and take some photos. First up is the Inman Park/Little 5 Points neighborhood. It's a streetcar suburb that dates from the lates 1880s. Little 5 Points is the bohemian commerical district of the neighborhood that is centered around the intersection of 5 streets, although most the businesses in the district line Moreland Avenue and Euclid Avenue. Inman Park Little 5 Points Chamblee is a little suburb about 16 miles northeast of DT Atlanta. It was mostly dairyland until WWI, when the military built a camp there. The camp closed after the war, but was reopened during WWII to train navy fighter pilots. The base today is Peachtree-DeKalb Airport, the second busiest in the state. After WWII, the city attracted alot of industrial development. Frito Lay, General Electric and Kodak opened plants in the 1950s, but by the 80s most of the plants had closed. In the 90s, Chamblee began to attract large numbers of Latino and Asian immigrants becuase of its cheap housing. The city is probably one of the most diverse in Metro Atlanta having gone from being 90% white in 1970 to 56% Latino and 14% Asian today. Chamblee Lofts@5300 Peachtree Chamblee is also known for its antique shops, one of the largest collection of antique shops in the South. Heritage Lofts New infill development
April 17, 200619 yr Awesome! Looks like they have some interesting stores in Atlanta. I can't wait to go there in May, although I'll probably be spending the greater portion of my time in rural parts outside of ATL :(
