Decatur cemetery and surroundings, and optional refreshments, NEW TIME

Come join me in a walk through the historic Decatur cemetery and surrounding neighborhoods, with an optional stop at my favorite breakfast joint in Decatur, Pastries A-go-go, before walking the .8 miles back to our cars. We will see the "Old Sycamore" neighborhood, one of the oldest cemeteries in Atlanta including graves of Revolutionary War veterans, two or three city champion trees (I'm still trying to locat the third we pass), and Glenlake Park. We will then walk through the Great Lakes and Vidal/Lamont neighborhoods before heading towards the Decatur Square on Ponce de Leon. Just before the square we will have an optional stop at Pastries A Go-Go for coffee and/or breakfast before heading back to Sycamore Street  and the Old Sycamore neighborhood and to our cars. 

Walking at a 2.6 mile per hour pace, it will take a little over two hours, but we might spend more time in the cemetery. It will take about 20 minutes to walk from Pastries A Go-Go to Sycamore Street then to the Avondale Marta station where we parked.

We will park at the Avondale Marta station's North lot on Sycamore Street at Ponce de Leon. For your GPS use:

Avondale Station

That works in both Apple Maps and Google Maps once you choose the Marta station and not the apartments with that name. 915 E Ponce de Leon, Decatur, GA works in Apple Maps only. Both will take you to an entrance to the Marta parking lot. Turn right and park in the lower lot on the right as you face the station (the West end of the lot). The following link will show a map of where to park and meet:
