>>2873826Gotcha. Yeah, Atlanta's a weird city. Like you said, it's definitely not a pedestrian city, especially in the late hours. There are certainly blocks where you have people out at all hours of the night, but the difference between a decent area and a (legitimately dangerous) crack town can be just a block or two, so it's hard to really figure out where to go. If you want people milling about at night, Peachtree St NE south of Baker St NE and down to Woodruff Park is probably your best bet. It's also reasonably close to Centennial. If you go more than a block or two south of Woodruff Park, though, it gets shady fast. It's weird, though, because going one street over in either direction while give you a ghost town. When there are major events going on downtown, there are lots of people everywhere, but that's not the norm.
Plus, late night in Atlanta isn't like 2:00 a.m. Unless there's an event going on, shit shuts down around 11:00 p.m. It's hard in the summer because you've only got an hour or two of legit darkness before there's nothing going on.
If you haven't been over to the square in Decatur, that'd be a place to check out. Again, it's not late, late night, but it's usually active during the evenings to some degree.
Good on you for the teetotaling thing. That ain't easy. Where'd you move from? That might help me get a better idea of what you could be looking for.
