Friday Jan 25, 2019
This week I got to explore the rich history of East Atlanta. Beginning with area's earliest Native American trade route, the site of the Battle of Atlanta, school desegregation and a very unique neighborhood cemetery. There is even a mention of a glass eye and llamas! Listen and learn about this great neighborhood and why I personally love EAV so much.

Possibly Atlanta most famous park, we've all visited at least once. Whether it's the Dogwood Festival, Music Midtown or the finish-line of the Peachtree Road Race...these are just some of the hundreds of reason to visit Piedmont Park. Today I'm telling you about the early history of the land, two important expositions, as well history that will make you notice and appreciate the park in a new way.
