Little Five Points
One of my favorite hang out spots is Little Five Points.

Shoppers head to Moreland Avenue’s indie stores for offbeat vintage clothing, vinyl and cool gifts, while young locals hang out at the dive bars, burger joints, and Ethiopian and vegan eateries that line the surrounding streets.

I've been living in Atlanta 8 years and didn't realize we had an Anne Frank Museum.
