Piedmont Park: The Heart of Atlanta and Midtown

Roswell, Georgia: The Wild History of the Chattahoochee and Canton Street

Roswell, Georgia is known today for Canton Street, beautiful historic homes, strong schools, river access, and some of the most desirable real estate in North Fulton — but the story behind this Atlanta suburb is much wilder than most people realize. In this episode of ATL All Things Local, we explore how Roswell developed differently from many other Metro Atlanta communities. Instead of being shaped first by railroads or highways, Roswell’s story begins with the Chattahoochee River, Vickery Creek, and Cherokee Nation land. From there, we follow the rapid transformation after the Indian Removal Act, the rise of the Roswell Manufacturing Company, the Civil War-era textile mill, Roswell gray fabric, and the shocking story of more than 400 mill workers — mainly women and children — who were arrested and sent north by train during Sherman’s campaign. We also talk about the historic homes that still make Roswell so unique, including Bulloch Hall, the city’s preservation mindset, and how Canton Street became one of Metro Atlanta’s most charming downtown districts. From open-container rules and restaurants to breweries, historic buildings, walkability, and the “linger longer” strategy, Canton Street has become a major lifestyle draw for residents and visitors alike. Then we bring the conversation into modern Roswell: Chattahoochee River recreation, RiverWalk access, parks, bike lanes, controlled growth, swim-and-tennis neighborhoods, strong community planning, Fulton County schools, and a housing market that continues to attract buyers looking for lifestyle, history, and long-term value. For anyone relocating to Atlanta, buying in North Fulton, or thinking about selling a home in Roswell, this episode gives you a deeper look at why Roswell remains one of Metro Atlanta’s most interesting and sought-after places to live.

Reynoldstown – Atlanta’s Most Walkable Intown Neighborhood?

Reynoldstown is not just a BeltLine stop. It is one of the most layered neighborhoods in Atlanta, shaped by railroads, segregation, redevelopment, and now serious walkability. In this episode, Jeff Goddard and Adam Mincey break down how a post-Civil War freedmen community became one of the most sought-after in-town addresses for buyers earning $200K to $1M+ per year. Adam shares personal insight from living in Reynoldstown, working out at Terminus Strength & Conditioning, and watching values climb as the Atlanta BeltLine came online. We cover: • The Civil War roots of Reynoldstown • Why the railroad physically divided it from Cabbagetown • How Holtzclaw Yard still impacts property values • Why the BeltLine changed everything • What it is actually like to live there day to day • Where prices sit right now If you are relocating to Atlanta and want character, connectivity, and long-term upside, this is required listening. Reynoldstown is tight lots, urban energy, and proximity to everything.
