Digital Record of Downtown Decatur #5

My final destination was the shopping center of the Downtown Decatur area. This picture shows the mixture of shopping and urban living that is starting to spread in many recently urbanized areas. On the bottom floor, there are different vendors such as Taziki;’s, a Medditeranean restaurant and Fro-yo, a yogurt vending company. On top of these already existing stores are leasing offices as well as lofts for new residents of the town. This reflects the  new trend of city ‘s starting to expand up instead of expanding out where there is barely any room to use. Across the street, there can be found many different ethnic restaurants such as a Jamaican Restaurant that mirrors that growing demographic changes of area’s around and in Atlanta. Overall, this is a shining image of the increased economic expansion that Atlanta is currently going through and how it has an effect on its neighboring counties.
