One of my favorite things about Atlanta is that even though it's a big city, it remains a collection of neighborhoods. All of the neighborhoods within the city proper combine with the suburbs to make a charming array of very distinct areas, each with its own unique style and culture. If I had to pick a favorite neighborhood in Atlanta, it would probably be Little Five Points. Also called "Little 5" or "LFP," this is a funky area that's really the heartbeat of Atlanta's creative scene, and it's got a lot to explore. From restaurants to shops and live music venues, there's so much to do in Little Five Points, and it's worth a visit for anyone who loves music or art. Check it out:

Little Five is located in the eastern section of Atlanta, next to the also-charming Inman Park. The neighborhood gets its name because there was once an intersection of five streets here, though it no longer exists today.

One of the neighborhood's most popular events each year is the Halloween parade, which includes vendors, musical acts, and, of course, a costumed parade.

You'll find plenty to do here at any time of year, though. The neighborhood is full of great places to shop, particularly if you're a fan of vintage clothing or artwork.

One of my personal favorite spots in Little 5 is Criminal Records, an indie record shop that has all kinds of great vinyl, CDs, and tapes.

Criminal Records has moved to a smaller store than it once occupied, but it's still a great place for music shopping. You can even catch live in-store performances on occasion.

I've seen my favorite musician, Butch Walker, perform here a few times, and it's always a blast to get to see him in a small venue like this.

Get more information about this Atlanta record store from the Criminal Records website.

Another fun attraction in Little Five Points is Junkman's Daughter, a sprawling shop offering up just about everything. You'll find costumes and all kinds of bizarre artwork here.

Looking for delicious food? The Vortex is one of Atlanta's most iconic restaurants.

The Vortex's 6.5-pound Quadruple Coronary Bypass Burger is one of the most legendary food challenges in the Peach State, but don't worry... The Vortex offers up plenty of normal-sized burgers, too.

This Atlanta neighborhood is also home to one of the city's best venues for live music: Variety Playhouse. This 1,100-seat theater was once a movie theater and now hosts national acts, plus comedy shows and local musicians.

The sound quality is great and there's plenty of seating - always a plus at a smaller venue! For more information about upcoming events, check out the Variety Playhouse website.

When you think about the most haunted places in Georgia, what comes to mind? There are lots of spooky places here: places with urban legends, perhaps murders, ghosts, and, almost always, a sordid history. If you've got a few places in mind, chances are good that Savannah, GA was among them. This beautiful and historic city is considered to be one of the most haunted places in the southeast. And when it comes to haunted cemeteries in GA, one name stands above most: Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah, GA. This gorgeous graveyard is an amazing place with so much history and natural beauty, but it's also the site of many legends and it's said to be one of the most haunted cemeteries in Georgia. Is Bonaventure Cemetery haunted? Let's take a peek at the Bonaventure Cemetery history and see, shall we?

advertisement

While many of us are familiar with the fact that Savannah, Georgia is one of the most haunted cities in the United States, you might be shocked at just how many places here have spooky legends surrounding them.

In particular, one Southern Gothic cemetery in Savannah has frequently taken top honors as one of the most haunted places in America and certainly a contributor to the haunted Georgia legends. The famed Bonaventure Cemetery is known the world over for its beauty, but also for its ghosts.

Many people consider this cemetery one of the most beautiful final resting places in the world, and we definitely agree! There's nothing like seeing the Spanish moss draping from towering oak trees. The colorful flowers blossoming with vibrant color each spring is also a treat.

The Bonaventure Cemetery history is quite rich. The graveyard was featured in the novel Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. It's also the final resting place to quite a few notable figures from history.

It's also quite popular as the place where the ghost of little Gracie Watson resides. She was the daughter of a Savannah area hotel manager and well-known throughout the city. Tragically, she died of pneumonia at the age of six, and her family placed a sculpture in her honor at her grave site.

advertisement

Since her death in 1889, many residents have claimed to have seen Gracie, both throughout town and also in the cemetery. Today, tourists and locals alike visit the little girl's final resting place to pay their respects and leave behind gifts.

However, Gracie isn't the only reason that Bonaventure Cemetery has been dubbed one of the most haunted cemeteries in GA. Over the years, visitors have reported hearing inexplicable sounds.

If you visit, keep your eyes peeled and make sure to listen out. You never know if you'll hear crying babies, dogs barking madly, or even spooky bouts of laughter.

Tours are offered regularly at the cemetery, and we highly recommend coming for yourself to see what makes this haunted cemetery in Georgia so unique. Feeling really brave? Night tours are occasionally offered.

Even if you aren't a strong believer in the paranormal, a visit here is an amazing experience you'll never forget.

The intricate craftsmanship on the memorials and statues here is incredible.

We can't answer the question "is Bonaventure Cemetery haunted?" for sure - you'll have to decide that for yourself. However, we can say it's one of the prettiest cemeteries in the country and part of haunted Georgia history.

Check out this great informative video about Bonaventure Cemetery history from YouTube user Scottsdale Travel Chick:
