Located about three miles east of downtown, Edgewood is bordered by Kirkwood to the east, Reynoldstown to the west, Candler Park to the north, and East Atlanta to the south. The community was developed around the turn of the 20th century as a response to economic boom, population growth, and a dramatic increase in the number of people working in the city. Located outside of the congestion downtown, Edgewood was geared towards blue collar workers that developed the land and built their craftsman-style homes there. Today, the neighborhood is marked by a booming commercial area, charming streets lined with modest homes diverse in character, and an admirably eco-concious creative community invested in coming together to make Edgewood one of Atlanta’s finest places to establish roots.
This neighborhood favorite is part wine shop, pantry, deli, bakery and rotisserie.
Equal parts physical and mental exercise, the name of the game here is building and honing a strong body while you simultaneously train a strong mind. We can’t help but be blown away by founder and executive director Carrie Heller’s impressive resume. Not only is she a professional trapeze artist with over 35 years of experience in the circus ring, but also holds a license as a clinical social worker and registered play therapist; many members of the staff have worked with her for upwards of 20 years! Workshops and training are available for children, teens, adults, families and groups. Truly one of the best non-traditional workouts Atlanta has to offer, explore activities including trapeze, circus rings, aerial fabrics (or silks), tight wire, hand-balancing, strength training, juggling and much more! Our best advice is to avoid being intimidated. Students are urged to work at their own pace to achieve greater endurance, strength and confidence.
