Downtown Decatur Square

Tuesday, February 23, 2016

Tuesday I was tasked with heading to Decatur Square to grab some photos that represent the quintessential feel of the city. I personally love Decatur. It’s been a place that I have called a second home for a long while. I have spent maybe more time than I care to admit in Brick Store and Raging Burrito. I have seen lots of events happen on the square and the streets that surround it. I have heard music played on the gazebo and at Eddie’s Attic and have walked past the historic Dekalb County Courthouse countless times.

Although a little rainy on Tuesday the photos needed to be shot and so I covered my lens the best I could and grabbed snippets of the city.
