Just east of the Atlanta BeltLine trail is the historic city of Decatur—four square miles packed with stroll-worthy outdoor sculptures, colorful crosswalks, warm welcomes from “indie”storefronts, and critically acclaimed dining spots. Love books, beer, and art? There is a festival for that here, part of a year-round calendar of outdoor events. Bike and dog friendly, too!
