The first site that I visited while strolling through Ormewood Park was Holy Comforter Episcopal Church. It’s located between Woodland Ave and Ormewood Ave. The church was founded in 1893 in the heart of Atlanta. It’s a very diverse church! That’s one of the key components that they’re known for. DIVERSITY!  While taking pictures it was some sort of function going on and I saw many different ethnicities entering. Over half of the congregation suffers from mental illness therefore many different programs are held for them, numerous fellowships, and the church is also funded by Georgia Mental Health Consumers  Network.

I kept seeing this huge building while riding through the neighborhood. I figured it was just an old building, but I got curious and approached it. I found out it was a school! Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School (Middle Campus) officially opened in 2001. It currently has Kindergarten-8th grade. The school itself was actually two different charted schools merged. One was just named Neighborhood Charter school (Kindgerten-5th) and the other was named Atlanta Charted Middle School (6th-8th). It’s a tight knit community type school located in the neighborhood welcoming family, friends, and all diversity.

Before I actually approached Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School I saw this chicken coop. I tried to wait for the chickens to come back out, but they wouldn’t. The chicken coop is part of the outside activities for the students along with a basketball court, and playground area.  Not only is this school known for their academic ability and performing arts. They’re also pet lovers. I’ve never saw a chicken coop at a school, I HAD to take a picture of this. Where was this when I was in middle school?

I’m in Ormewood Park I had to take a picture of a house, right? As I explored the neighborhood  I soon realized no two houses were identical. Every street I drove down had an entirely different house set up. These two houses stuck out to me. They’re one of the more newer and upscale ones. They both have really long driveways, three-stories, balconies, and really far away from the road.
