mods remove this if need be, but i came up empty handed on a search.
i'm headed to Atlanta this weekend to see Morrissey and i am looking for suggestions on record stores and other cool places to shop, i.e. vintage stores, etc. in downtown/L5P. Paste rated Criminal Records #2 coolest record store in America, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything to me. anyone?
criminal records is the shit, and there's lots of other cool shops and restaurants to check out in little five points. you can't go wrong wandering around all day down there. a shameless plug, i'm playing at 7:30 at the red light cafe downtown on friday, if you're interested. we'll be doin it up for my friends birthday afterwards if you wanna party
The Junkman's Daughter is right next door to Criminal Records and is my FAVE store in ATL...it is the coolest! Has just about ANYTHING cool you can think of! Vintage clothing...the coolest Tees....fun toys and trinkets...just really neat stuff you can't find anywhere else! Trendy and trashy and all in between! And the Vortex is right there too and has the BEST cheeseburger in town and about 100 beers on tap...YUMMY! And great fried zucchini! Get it as a side instead of fries....
And THE best record store in the area is in a little town a few miles outside ATL called Decatur.....it's like the ONLY record store IN downtown Decatur.....totally cool little used CD/record store...if you can find it....GO! ;D

I know this thread wasn't really asking about food, but we just got back from Fat Matt's Rib Shack. Every time we go there, we end up going on and on about how good it was. They have the best baked beans and macaroni, not to mention the ribs and the chicken. Here's the website:

New question: My boyfriend and I have been trying to walk more, and have found that we really enjoy it, but we are getting tired of walking around the same neighborhoods over and over, so we've decided to try exploring some hiking trails. Does anyone have a favorite place that they like to walk or hike around Atlanta?

Yes, they are! I went with my family once before we moved down here, and one of them was just laid back munching on a whole mess of bamboo. It was great!
Have you been out to Stone Mountain? I really like to go out there, especially in the Spring and Fall...it's a bit much in the summer. But hiking up and down the mountain is a GREAT workout! ;D And if you just want to ride the cable car up and hike down it's just as fun...plus they have great trails just around the park too....it's a great place to spend a weekend afternoon. They have restaruants and snack places but I'd pack a nice basket of your fave foods and take it with you...there are some great places to spread out a blanket and eat and watch the laser show after the sun goes down!

We haven't yet, but we had talked about that one. Josh found one online called Arabia Mountain that is supposed to be similar to Stone Mountain but it's in DeKalb County, so I think we are going to try that one first.
Side note: I just looked up Arabia Mountain on Wikipedia, and, apparantly, parts of Pet Semetary II were filmed there.
Edit: I'm a dumbass. Stone Mountain also is in DeKalb County.
Little 5 Points should be a decent bet for ya... though, I don't live there and visit a couple of times a year so I may not know of the best actual locations...
If you're looking for good eats (if you're near it) go to The Earl... one of the best burgers I've ever had, no shit... just don't get it medium
^ Saw Legendary Pink Dots there this past November and ate dinner before hand... great place, decent little venue, too! One of my favorite smaller venues I've been to.
;D
