Itinerary:

Enjoy this beautiful fall urban hike in Midtown, full of history and architectural detail.

We will start in the back of the parking lot of the Midtown Promenade, proceeding to cross Piedmont Park intersecting the Lake Clara Meer, exiting by the famous historic Piedmont Driving club (private club since 1887). Crossing Piedmont Rd we will go thorough Ansley Park on The Prado NE, viewing the architecture of the houses in one of Atlanta's older upscale neighborhoods to W. Peachtree St. by The Temple synagogue, across the street from the Savanah College of Art and Design (SCAD). We will continue on the W. Peachtree corridor viewing some of the few remaining late 1800's-beginning 1900's mansions, including the Rhodes Hall, through mid 20th and beginning 21st. century bldgs. passing by the High Museum, the Arts Center, Mid Town skyscrappers, the Atlanta Federal Reserve and Margaret Mitchell's House to turn back on 10th St.

The weather will be partly cloudy in the mid 60s.

Everyone is welcome to join for lunch after the hike at one of the restaurants of the Piedmont Promenade.
