Join Kelly Jordan & Don Bender and see why Atlanta’s Little 5 Points (L5P) is unlike anywhere else!

•Explore the eclectic past of L5P, where streetcars shaped Inman & Candler Park in the late 1800s, and L5P emerged as a commercial hub in the 1920s. By the 1960s, decline loomed, but the 1970s brought a revival, thanks to passionate community efforts.

•Walk through L5P’s history, from its unique architecture to its cultural landmarks. Visit the Little 5 Points Community Center, once a school, now an artistic cornerstone. Discover how Don Bender and Kelly Jordan’s activism saved L5P from a planned highway, preserving its character and fostering its creative spirit.

•Experience the blend of old and new as we showcase legacy businesses alongside fresh additions, such as the L5P Pub.

This tour unveils the visionaries who fought for L5P’s future—ensuring it remains a haven for artists, rebels, and free spirits!
