Photo Essay: Atlanta Street Art - Caroline in the City Travel Blog. I’ve talked about my favorite places to spot street art all over the world, from Berlin’s East Side Gallery to Melbourne’s Hosier Lane.

But what about where I live? Atlanta is certainly an “up and coming” city with hip neighborhoods comparable to those in Brooklyn but at half the price. My favorite neighborhoods for Atlanta street art are Cabbagetown and Old Fourth Ward. I hang out there a lot because my friends live there and it’s near where my sister works at Zoo Atlanta.

Both certainly have the gentrified bohemian vibe, where you’ll find restaurants and cafes on random side streets. Cabbagetown runs along one side of Oakland Cemetery and was named for the cabbages that grew in the yards of residents in the 1800s when the area was a cotton mill.
