I love the Fairlie-Poplar district in Atlanta. I am so glad the city preserved that small section of downtown.

Or the water

My actual hometown is very new suburb,so it's a bit difficult to find a urban landscape. Wound up choosing an area that is "urban" facing east and "natural" facing west.

Atlanta does a better job at historic districts than people on CD gives it credit for.

Main is definitely the best street in Downtown after work hours & on weekends. A lot of it has been spilling over onto Elm & Commerce. The AT&T Discovery District & newly named East Quarter (between city center & Deep Ellum) should boost it even more.

AT&T Discovery District -- use incognito mode to avoid paywall

East Quarter -- this area of downtown is the missing link between center city DT Dallas & Deep Ellum

For nature, I'm partial to Jamaica Pond:
