This week, we dive into the rich—and sometimes wild—history of Grant Park, one of Atlanta’s oldest and most beloved neighborhoods. 🦁 Did you know the park once had a lake, or that the zoo may have started thanks to a broken-down circus and a rogue orangutan? We unpack the stories (both verified and legendary), including Civil War fortifications, the philanthropy of L.P. Grant, Margaret Mitchell’s unexpected real estate ties, and how the neighborhood evolved into one of ATL’s most sought-after places to live.

Whether you're considering relocating to Atlanta or just want to explore the charm of its historic communities, this episode is packed with colorful stories, real estate insight, and neighborhood vibes—past and present.

From architectural gems and alleyway history to why Grant Park’s Farmer’s Market hits different, this is a must-listen for anyone curious about where Atlanta’s been—and where it's going.
