Funky Amid Change
Significant changes are coming this year to Findley Plaza in Little Five Points. Property owners, landlords and residents are considering the cultural future of the eclectic east-side commercial district as well.
Sitting along Moreland Avenue where Atlanta’s Inman Park and Candler Park neighborhoods meet, Little Five Points has long been a bastion of counterculture. It is increasingly an island in a sea of development that, spurred by the construction of the Atlanta Beltline’s Eastside Trail, has brought a wave of high-dollar commercial and residential real estate projects in the past decade.

L5P Logo
The L5P Alliance is thrilled to announce an exclusive logo license agreement for the R.Land L5P logo to promote the neighborhood and raise funds towards initiatives.
“The L5P logo was originally designed as my personal homage to the village of Little Five Points, a domain I’ve proudly worked, lived and played in for many years. I wanted the logo to be a simple, iconic emblem that people who identify with the unique district could wear or brandish, to represent their local pride and connection to the area.” says Ronnie Land.

Sidewalk Dining
Sidewalk cafes have become commonplace in urban areas around the country and Atlanta is making plans to allow them. The plan has support from the head of the city’s leading pedestrian group, who views outdoor seating as enlivening streetscapes.
Although sidewalk cafes would reduce pedestrian access to sidewalks, the trade-off is worth it – unlike the trade-off for scooters, which endanger folks who use sidewalks when the scooters are operated by irresponsible riders, Sally Flocks, president and CEO of PEDS, said Thursday.
“Having outdoor cafes is a positive, in terms of having a community feeling and a friendly environment, and having people to smile at when you walk by,” Flocks said.
