East Atlanta

The up-and-coming neighborhood now popular with the young and hip once had a streetcar line that connected residents to the city. Commissioned and unofficial pieces line Glenwood and Flat Shoals Road including the Interesni Kazki work on one side of Argosy, a restaurant and beer bar. On the other is a dragon fighting a fox by local artist Shaun Thurston. Another Kazki collaboration with Indigo nearby features portraits of three young girls.
