- A drive down Peachtree St. from its beginning in downtown to where it becomes Peachtree Rd. in Buckhead and Peachtree Blvd. in the northeast Atlanta suburbs. Along the way this route passes through Downtown Atlanta, Midtown Atlanta, Buckhead Atlanta, as well as the suburbs of Brookhaven, Chamblee, Norcross, Doraville, Sugar Hill, Suwanee, Duluth, and Buford.

From Wikipedia:
Peachtree Street is one of several major streets running through the city of Atlanta. Beginning at Five Points in downtown Atlanta, it runs North through Midtown; a few blocks after entering into Buckhead, the name changes to Peachtree Road at Deering Road. Much of the city's historic and noteworthy architecture is located along the street, and it is often used for annual parades, (such as the Atlanta St. Patrick's Day Parade and Atlanta Christmas Parade), as well as one-time parades celebrating events such as the 100th anniversary of Coca-Cola in 1986 and the Atlanta Braves' 1995 World Series victory.
The Peachtree name is common throughout the Atlanta area. In fact, it is often joked by natives that half of the streets in Atlanta are named Peachtree, and the other half have five names to make up for it. While “Peachtree” alone almost always refers to this street or its continuations, there are 71 streets in Atlanta with a variant of “Peachtree” in their name.
Many of Atlanta's most prominent buildings and landmarks are located along Peachtree Street. In downtown, 191 Peachtree Tower, Georgia-Pacific Tower, Westin Peachtree Plaza and SunTrust Plaza all line Peachtree. In Midtown, Bank of America Plaza, Atlanta's tallest building, is a block south of the "Fabulous" Fox Theatre, a grand movie palace completed in 1929.
Author Margaret Mitchell was killed by a speeding car in 1949 while crossing Peachtree Street as a pedestrian at the intersection with 13th Street. Mitchell wrote her classic Gone With the Wind in the basement apartment of a boarding house at the corner of 10th Street and Peachtree Street. That house is now a museum and is located across 10th Street from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta which serves the southeastern United States. The film debuted at the Loew's Grand Theatre, at the corner of Peachtree and Forsyth Street, where the Georgia-Pacific Building now stands.
Office buildings 1100 Peachtree (formerly owned and occupied by BellSouth) and 1180 Peachtree, home to major law firms, are prominent business addresses. The heart of Atlanta's arts scene is found just north on Peachtree where the Woodruff Arts Center, including the High Museum of Art, Atlanta Symphony, Alliance Theatre Company, and the Atlanta campus of the Savannah College of Art & Design are located.
Although most have been demolished, there are still several historic buildings left along Peachtree in Buckhead. Several of these are stores, in single-story brick buildings constructed well before the annexation of Buckhead in 1952.
Northeast of the city limit, the road goes through Brookhaven and passes Oglethorpe University. Upon entering Chamblee, the road splits into Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and Peachtree Road. Peachtree Road becomes a two-lane road that travels further east towards Doraville, while Peachtree Industrial Boulevard continues more on a more northerly trajectory (as Georgia 141) towards Dunwoody and Peachtree Corners.

I stayed in Doraville during my failed attempt to move to ATL. Loved it, very slow, laidback area.

Atlanta has income inequality and a crime problem
Atlanta has LOST 50% of its trees since 1990! Should have seen it during its Liberal days in the 90s
Lived here 31 years.
What happened back then
Atlanta needs to be more commeralized
@@GAURAV25855ify that's true. alot of opportunities in Atlanta but nothing to do with it.
Why are there no comments about what we’re saying. Just a waste of my time unfortunately.
??
@@MileageMikeTravels lol idk
Seeing homeless bums already they are all over downtown areas
I thought it was bad till I saw other states. The ratio isn’t as bad considering the population and we still have panhandling laws. Fayetteville NC isn’t near as populated but there are homeless drug addicts on every side walk. I’m not even exaggerating. Seattle is bad too. The SeaTac airport is scary at night, because they let them squat in the lower level. They get mean with each other and security just disappears.
