Beulah Heights

The day started off with a transit ride to an unpaved section of the Beltline trail near Glenwood. Again, some friendly folks on the bus chatting us up. We learned about the famous people in Oakland cemetery: Margaret Mitchell who wrote Gone With The Wind. Glenwood is a neat planned neighbourhood which won awards for its focus on pedestrians/bikes and less cars.

The 4 miles of trail (to-and-fro) were prefect for the run! We grabbed a smoothie on the way back and took the Beltline paved trail north through Reynoldstown and Cabbagetown. The neighbourhoods have a good feel. Then we looped back to the Peachtree area to get back to the hotel.

The afternoon Happy Hour was calling us. J found Tom Dick and Hank, a short bus ride south of us. The facade wasn't very inviting, but a friendly staff member saw us through the window and invited us in. My instinct was to veto the visit. Their patio was on the roof, along with their Hookah bar 🚬. Guests were also enjoying their cigars, so we opted to change seats after a bit to get less in us. No beers on tap 🍺😕, but ok bottle selection. The happy hour rib tips and fish bites were delicious! The server commented that we got a whole rack, but there was lots bone🍖! It was an experience, but we didn't stay longer than needed🏃

We ended up walking north to the Garnett train station. There's a fair bit of homelessness in the area, likely due to support services in the vicinity . Everyone is friendly, but it can be a bit challenging determining who's stable...

We explored Midtown area. WOW, it has a great vibe like Vancouver's West End! Including a very eccentric street person laying on the sidewalk laughing hysterically! Piedmont park is being set up for the upcoming Jazz weekend.

Next we tried to find Taco Tuesday, but its passe. Rreal Tacos for a snack and a maragita tasting flight (to share) 🍹

To continue the theme we grabbed a can of mixed Maragita (Canadian of all origins!) and created home made tacos a-la-condo!

Wowzers, 33k steps (28.6km) is a long day 😊

A great movie on Netflix to wrap up: Colette.Read more
