Downtown East Point

8/27/2010

4/5 stars

I'm bouncing between A-OK and being a fan. There is a mountain of potential here, but it's masquerading behind empty store fronts. The clusters of great are fantastic. Oz Pizza and its courtyard, Corner Tavern and its skinny stairs and updoor deck, the hardware store a few blocks over, etc. Events like the Possums show, the Taste of East Point, and outdoor movies definitely give the downtown a good community feel. So my A-OK feeling is more a reflection of the current economy.

I haven't felt "unsafe" downtown or walking to downtown. I also haven't tried many of the restaurants, either. Street parking is plentiful and well-lit.
