Little Five Points


Little Five Points or L5P, LFP, and Little Five is a district of Atlanta, Georgia. The neighborhood is about 2.5 miles from downtown to the east. The area was established in the early 1900s as a commercial district. It is adjacent to Candler and Inman Park neighborhoods. The community is made up of retail stores, bars, restaurants, theaters, and music venues. It is a place for alternative cultures too.

In the 1970s Little Five Points lost much of its glory turning to disrepair. However, an urban renewal program was started to offer restoration to the Victorian homes and neighborhood. In 1981 a lot of the merchants were part of the Little Five Points Partnership program to restore and expand the retail section. Little Five Points is surrounded by Edgewood, Inman Park, Candler Park, and Poncey Highland Neighborhoods. It is also near DeKalb Avenue and the Georgia Railroad Underpass.

Life in the neighborhood is mostly indie with record stores, coffee shops, health and wellness locations, and clothing stores. It is considered a new age, hippie, indie segment of Atlanta for the artists and creatively minded person. The area was featured in Class of 3000, a Cartoon Network show. It was also mentioned in the Internet Girls books.
