ABOUT ATLANTA'S PEACHTREE DISTRICTPeachtree Street is the main north-south street of Atlanta, Georgia. The city grew up around this famous street, and many of its historical and municipal buildings are or were located along it. Beginning at Five Points in Downtown Atlanta, it runs north through Midtown and into south Buckhead before changing names to Peachtree Road and ultimately Peachtree Boulevard. In recent years the street's extension south from Five Points to the beginning of the Peachtree Bottoms at Memorial Drive, formerly named Whitehall Street, was renamed Peachtree Street as well. After Memorial Drive, the street continues as Whitehall Street. Located at the foothills of the southern Appalachians, the landscape of Atlanta is predominantly characterized by rolling hills and broad, smooth uplands. The Chattahoochee River is one of the most prominent natural features of Atlanta. It forms the northwestern boundary of the city, flowing through a valley, which ranges from 150 to 400 feet in depth and from two to five miles in width from rim to rim. On the eastern side of the metro area, Stone Mountain rises high above the tallest pines. At 825 feet tall, it is the world's largest free-standing piece of exposed granite. Despite having a mild Atlanta climate, the city does experience all four seasons. The average annual temperature is 61 degrees. July is our hottest month averaging 89 degrees and January as the coolest month with the average low at 33 degrees. With less than two inches of annual snowfall, it's not easy to ski or sled here, but you can enjoy more than 100 golf courses, 200 public tennis courts and hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails more than 300 days a year. The moderate Atlanta climate also allows us to take advantage of many outdoor festivals, concert venues and parks nearly year-round. |
