Little Five Points is the epicenter of Atlanta’s indie spirit and alternative culture with its mix of restaurants, unique local businesses and melting pot of people and cultures. The district originally grew out of the convergence of trolley lines in the area, which meant businesses thrived in the neighborhood. The neighborhood went into decline in the 1960s and 70s, but revitlization began in the early 80s and iconic shops like Charis Books & More, Wax n’ Facts records, Junkman’s Daughter and concert venue Variety Playhouse began to thrive again.
