One MARTA stop from Hartsfield-Jackson, College Park is Georgia’s fourth largest historic district on the National Historic Register. College Park uses historic preservation as a development tool to revitalize its turn-of-thecentury downtown. A Georgia Main Street City, this community of 20,000 residents embraces its downtown as the cultural and commercial center of the city.

Through assistance from the College Park Development Office, new specialty and transitional businesses are filling storefronts. Successful recruitment efforts have resulted in over 17 new businesses like Metro Sports. Lunch on Main, a southern favorite for classic home cooking, is joined by its retro neighbor The Brake Pad.

The Pecan restaurant serves upscale gourmet Southern cuisine and great jazz in a beautiful, contemporary setting. The Feed Store, one of Zagat’s "Best Bets Close To Busiest Airports," brings fine dining to a former dry goods store. A fixture since 1973, College Park Shoes offers designer shoes. For upscale dining, Southern fare or great shopping, visit historic Main Street and return to classic College Park. For more info, visit www.collegeparkga.com.
