Where Brunch Lines Meet Movie Industry Dreams

🧭Generally defined as the area: North Avenue to I-85, between the Connector and Ponce de Leon, basically everything around Piedmont Park that isn't Virginia Highland

📌Midtown is best known for: Piedmont Park, the BeltLine Eastside Trail, and Pride festivals

👕You'll fit in if: you walk everywhere in Allbirds and athletic wear, but also know how to take an uber and dress up for shows

👍Locals live here because: you can actually ditch your car here, but only here

👎Don't say we didn't warn you about: constant construction noise and $25 parking for everything

The general vibe is: walkable urban density with rooftop bars and easy access to the Beltline and Piedmont Park
