Itinerary:
Join me for a stroll through Springdale, Virgilee, Brightwood, Shady Side, and Dellwood Parks. These small but pretty parks along Ponce de Leon Ave have a paved path that winds its way through the grass and trees and past the famous "Leaving Atlanta" sign.

Total distance of the path is approximately 1.25 miles one way, and we will be walking out and back for a total of 2.5 miles. For those wishing a longer walk, feel free to walk the route again for a total of 5 miles.

We will be meeting at the corner of Moreland/Briarcliff and Ponce de Leon. Parking is available along S Ponce de Leon, just pay attention to the no parking signs.

It's completely optional, but everyone is welcome to come along for lunch after the walk at the Majestic Diner, a local Atlanta icon.
