MIDTOWN ATLANTA STORIES
Young professionals, families and artists can all find their voice in Midtown. With an elevated dining scene and a colorful arts and culture space, the things to experience in this neighborhood are one-of-a-kind.
Midtown is one of the city’s safest areas, home to Midtown Blue, a dedicated public safety program consisting of off-duty officers and ambassadors patrolling 24/7
Midtown remains active and well-lit at night. Midtown Blue maintains high-visibility patrols along Peachtree Street and other major thoroughfares.
Piedmont Park is very safe and patrolled by the APD Path Force and city park rangers. We recommend visiting during official operating hours (before 11:00 PM).
They provide 24/7 safety patrols, jump-starts, directions, and safety escorts. Look for their distinct blue and white vehicles.
Absolutely. These venues have dedicated security protocols and work closely with Midtown Blue and APD to manage crowd safety.
