Exploring Atlanta

Atlanta is a city of vibrant, distinct neighborhoods that offer a little something for everyone. Whether you’re ITP (inside the Atlanta Perimeter) or OTP (outside the Atlanta Perimeter), you’ll find plenty to explore, all within a short drive. Around here, a 30-minute drive is considered “just down the road!”


From the city streets of Midtown to the charming small-town feel of Roswell, each area has its own unique character. Below, I’ve highlighted a mix of must-visit spots in Atlanta and nearby areas around Roswell for dining, shopping, and sightseeing:

Roswell, East Cobb, & Alpharetta

Old Mill Park

95 Mill St, Roswell, GA 30075, USA
(770) 640-3253

Tucked along Vickery Creek, the ruins of the Roswell Mill trails features a waterfall, the original machine shop, and a covered pedestrian bridge linking Old Mill Park to the Chattahoochee River trail system. This park holds a special place in our hearts—it’s where we spent high school days cliff jumping, hiking the trails with friends and family, and creating many memories.
