A Walk Through Castleberry Hill

Thursday, June 9, 2016

I finished up my day of shooting for Curbed Atlanta with a trip to the Castleberry Hill neighborhood. Lots of shops, restaurants and architecture awaited me in the quiet streets on a Thursday afternoon in the shadow of the still under construction Mercedes Benz stadium. There was plenty of character and painted murals all over the neighborhood and I can see why Castleberry Hill has drawn people from all walks of life.
