Edgewood

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.

To the average passerby, this 28-acre industrial complex speaks more to disrepair and abandon than it does a rich history and bright future. Originally built by Pratt Engineering, a parts manufacturer for sugar and fertilizer processing plants, the site was later purchased by the Chicago-based Pullman Company to serve as a repair station for railcars. Currently owned by the State of Georgia, the vacant site is a favored location for graffiti artists and filmmakers alike. Helping Atlanta earn its reputation as “Hollywood of the South,” the iconic buildings of Pullman Yard are frequently used for filming blockbuster hits including the Hunger Games and Divergent movie franchises. It is unknown what the complex’s future holds, as various groups push hard for its development. Pullman Bike Path, part of the PATH Atlanta project, lies adjacent to the neglected structures. It easily connects to the Trolley Line Trail via Rogers Street, and is a great route for walking, biking and running.
