Irwin Street

These are my favorite homes in Atlanta. When I moved to Old Fourth Ward six years ago, I would walk by these homes often and not only were they vibrant and full of character, but the people there were too. Everyone that lived and visited would always have a smile on their face and be having the best of times with their friends and neighbors. Every time we walked by, we would stop and chat (and of course pet Calvin the tom cat).

I moved OTP when I got married, and when we came back, they had moved. It’s not the same walking by without their smiles and chats. The sense of community and comfort in knowing my neighbors is missed.
