About this listen

Little Five Points, Atlanta’s most concentrated pocket of weird, music, vintage, and counterculture, tucked between Candler Park and Inman Park. We talk about why it was called “Little Five Points” as a nod to downtown Five Points, how the streetcar line helped create it as a neighborhood stop, and how the 70s and 80s shaped the identity people still love today. We hit the staples, Criminal Records, Junkman’s Daughter, Variety Playhouse, Star Bar, The Porter, Wrecking Bar, Aurora Coffee, and more, plus the Halloween parade that turns the whole district into a costume-fueled spectacle. We also get real about what could change next, aging property owners, pressure from bigger corporate buyers, and how the area has shifted over the last 10 to 20 years while still fighting to keep its personality. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live near Little Five, or why people keep coming back, this one is your guide.
