CL scours the city in search of its quirkiest corners
Think of the Urban Explorer's Handbook as the ultimate guide for vacationing in your own city. Can't afford the South of France? (Um, who can?) Bummed about missing out on skiing the Rockies, sunning in SoCal, vineyard-hopping in Napa? Screw it. You can spend a sunny afternoon in Decatur for a gazillionth of the cost! Venturing along Buford Highway is almost as good as traipsing through Vietnam (or Thailand or Peru or Mexico)! Cabbagetown is Atlanta's own little slice of Bohemia!
Sure, you know the ins and outs of your neighborhood as well as anyone. But how well do you know the underbelly of Buckhead or the burgeoning scene on Edgewood? You're about to find out. So grab your travel buddy, fill your canteens and dust off that vintage Polaroid. It's time to explore Atlanta's own back yard.
