The Candler Park neighborhood and the Little Five Points business district share both a common border along Moreland Avenue and an interconnected bohemian history. Before being swallowed by Atlanta, Candler Park was a town called Edgewood. Today, it still retains its charming small town vibe. It's a bit like Mayberry, if Andy Taylor biked to work and Aunt Bea baked "special" brownies. Historic craftsman bungalows and smiling young families dominate the landscape. The business district of Little Five Points is Candler Park's younger, counter-culture cousin. Although dotted with head shops and curious teenagers, newer businesses like the Wrecking Bar Brewpub are decidedly more grown-up in nature, a possible sign of changes to come.
