Looking to learn more about the Midtown Atlanta neighborhood? Many condominium residents forget that they actually live in TWO communities….their condo building AND Midtown Atlanta!
If you’d like to know more about Midtown, and meet some of the people that live here, then check out the Midtown Neighbors’ Association (MNA) Mingle in Midtown!
One credit you CAN give to the 12th & Midtown development is they have brought some life to Peachtree Street, between 11th and 12th Streets! While their retail space scale has tipped mostly to restaurants (why is it all we get is more restaurants?) the dining choices are pretty good. And more are on the way in the coming months.
But for the holidays, 12th & Midtown has again called out the 12 Days of Midtown for the holiday season. From December 12-23, when you mention the 12 Days of Midtown, you’ll get a discount or a tasty beverage at one of their retail businesses!! Just take a look!

One of the fun things of any city you live in…is the local activities that happen all around you. From festivals to street markets, there is always something happening in your city…and in Midtown Atlanta!
A week from this Sunday, mark your calendar for the West Midtown Market at 1000 Marietta Street. This is one of those infamous “pop-up markets” where an organizer brings together local merchants into some unused space for a day of commerce! It’s really pretty cool stuff!
The West Midtown Market website has links to all the merchants that will be featured, as well as some restaurants that will be offering up some specials as well. I’ve been meaning to get to the 5 Seasons Brewery location in West Midtown….like forever! (I’ve been to the Prado location in Sandy Springs!) Now, I’ve got a double reason to go!
West Midtown is creating its own spice….with the warehouse-type space available, and numerous new restaurants as well as totally cool living options like White Provision...it’s a part of Atlanta you need to check out! Keep in mind, you a hop, skip and a jump from IKEA and Atlantic Station to keep your holiday shopping moving right along!
Hope we see you there!
If you are a runner (unfortunately, feet and knee issues keep me from this exercise/sport) you may be looking for new and interesting places to run in Midtown Atlanta. Let’s take a look at Places To Run In Midtown Atlanta!
Some of you choose to just take to the streets, or of course the road and Active Oval of Piedmont Park. But there are more organized options for you dedicated runners!
The race will start off from the Stoveworks at 112 Krog Street. After a quick jog onto Irwin Street, you will be on the Eastside Trail of the Atlanta Beltline. Runners will see exciting parts of the Atlanta Beltline like the new Historic Fourth Ward Park and Skatepark, get some great city views of downtown and Midtown Atlanta, travel an off-road stretch of the Atlanta BeltLine corridor, and enjoy a jaunt through Piedmont Park.
There is also some fun for the college alumni and neighborhood associations. Tailgate and Neighborhood Challenges have been set up as well. You can learn more about those here.
Runners may register HERE, and the fee is currently $40.
Enjoy a great run, and check out the Atlanta Beltline Eastside Trail!

Happy Friday one and all!
This is a big one for Midtown Atlanta….but even if you don’t LIVE in Midtown, come on out for….
Sunday, May 19th from 2-6pm, join your neighbors, family and friends and take to Peachtree Street! Some 2.7 miles, from just shy of the Brookwood split (Where Peachtree Street meets West Peachtree Street) South all the way to Downtown Atlanta, Peachtree Street will be closed to all gasoline-powered transportation for FOUR HOURS! AWESOME!
There will be activities all along the route for you to enjoy! You can see a map of the activities here. It’s interactive, so just click on a star to find out what will be at that particular location!
You can see from the Map below there are FIVE MARTA stations along the route! HINT HINT! If you are coming from outside the area, you might want to consider MARTA. Peachtree Street will be closed, and I suspect only 1 or 2 places for cross traffic along the route, especially in Midtown!
I hope to see you out on this rare opportunity to share Peachtree Street WITHOUT dodging any cars, trucks or buses!!!!
