Atlanta Overview (12/28/24)

This is our 4th repeat housesit of 2024. The other three were in Canada. This is the 3rd time Bob has sat at this house and my second. It is a lovely home in the Midtown area of Atlanta, and we are completely taken with the cat, home, and the neighborhood.

Jax we enjoy because of his fun personality and occasional lap/leg sitting.

The home is super comfy with all the kitchen utensils you could want, and the neighborhood may be the best ever in terms of walkability. There are so many stores, grocery stores, and restaurants within a 5 to 30 minute walk. It is definitely something that we would love to have whenever we land again. Then, there is the nearby Beltline Trail for running, biking, etc., and the city is sufficiently sidewalked to make longer walks possible.

We have explored two neighborhood retail/restaurant areas, and today, we went back to checkout the vibrant Ponce Market, about 15 minutes from the house.

The building that now contains the Ponce City Market was built in 1926 as a retail store, warehouse, and regional offices for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. It was renovated in 2011 as a space for retail, restaurants, and pop-up shops as well as a rooftop deck with a mini golf course, carnival games, food and drinks. Due to the weather, we stayed inside today. There is also apartments and workspace in the building.
