From Wikipedia:
Peachtree Street is one of several major streets running through the city of Atlanta. Beginning at Five Points in downtown Atlanta, it runs North through Midtown; a few blocks after entering into Buckhead, the name changes to Peachtree Road at Deering Road. Much of the city's historic and noteworthy architecture is located along the street, and it is often used for annual parades, (such as the Atlanta St. Patrick's Day Parade and Atlanta Christmas Parade), as well as one-time parades celebrating events such as the 100th anniversary of Coca-Cola in 1986 and the Atlanta Braves' 1995 World Series victory.
The Peachtree name is common throughout the Atlanta area. In fact, it is often joked by natives that half of the streets in Atlanta are named Peachtree, and the other half have five names to make up for it. While “Peachtree” alone almost always refers to this street or its continuations, there are 71 streets in Atlanta with a variant of “Peachtree” in their name.
Many of Atlanta's most prominent buildings and landmarks are located along Peachtree Street. In downtown, 191 Peachtree Tower, Georgia-Pacific Tower, Westin Peachtree Plaza and SunTrust Plaza all line Peachtree. In Midtown, Bank of America Plaza, Atlanta's tallest building, is a block south of the "Fabulous" Fox Theatre, a grand movie palace completed in 1929.
Author Margaret Mitchell was killed by a speeding car in 1949 while crossing Peachtree Street as a pedestrian at the intersection with 13th Street. Mitchell wrote her classic Gone With the Wind in the basement apartment of a boarding house at the corner of 10th Street and Peachtree Street. That house is now a museum and is located across 10th Street from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta which serves the southeastern United States. The film debuted at the Loew's Grand Theatre, at the corner of Peachtree and Forsyth Street, where the Georgia-Pacific Building now stands.
Office buildings 1100 Peachtree (formerly owned and occupied by BellSouth) and 1180 Peachtree, home to major law firms, are prominent business addresses. The heart of Atlanta's arts scene is found just north on Peachtree where the Woodruff Arts Center, including the High Museum of Art, Atlanta Symphony, Alliance Theatre Company, and the Atlanta campus of the Savannah College of Art & Design are located.
Although most have been demolished, there are still several historic buildings left along Peachtree in Buckhead. Several of these are stores, in single-story brick buildings constructed well before the annexation of Buckhead in 1952.
Northeast of the city limit, the road goes through Brookhaven and passes Oglethorpe University. Upon entering Chamblee, the road splits into Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and Peachtree Road. Peachtree Road becomes a two-lane road that travels further east towards Doraville, while Peachtree Industrial Boulevard continues more on a more northerly trajectory (as Georgia 141) towards Dunwoody and Peachtree Corners.

I moved to Atlanta in 1985 and Chamblee Doraville was the first area I learned. I moved from Atlanta in 2001 and I miss it. Thanks for the memories! I was able to locate a lot of familiar spots on your drive.
This was great! I go out for a drive at night like this and usually I start or take P'Tree street midtown straight to memorial Dr where this vedio ended. Been living here for more than 30 years I'm very familiar with this route. Great ride! 😊
Lived there 25 years miss it Atlanta was good
What Part Of Atlanta U Lived For 25 Year’s
Absolutely stunning...
Peachtree = broadway of the south.
Southeast, the term south is vague
@neox9369 they're correct. Atlanta is the de facto capital of the south to most people...
Cool. Made much of that same drive around Christmas. Saw those same lights. Peachtree Street is awesome.
Yep. It was a pretty nice Christmas display.
@@MileageMikeTravels .yes.it was.just georgeous.atlanta sure do know how to do up the holidays
Was just there a couple of nights ago. Got to see this new lounge called Soig'ne Garden. Go check it out sometime. Amazing place to go and hang out, and you won't be disappointed by the "scenery." ;)
I been to Atlanta twice, but never been to Buckhead. Buckhead is huge!
Yeah Buckhead is large enough to be its own city.
Yea but like “large” in terms of what?
@@user-hf3eb8lj5g shit man, both population and land area, but I think they meant land area. Bulkhead is like 1/3 of the city
Nice driving 😃
NO
27:08 Peachtree Road changes to Peachtree Street at 26th Street right here.
Great job, how about Peachtree Industrial Boulevard- Buford to Norcross
I considered coming from Buford for this one but I was already in Norcross shopping at the Target so decided to start it from that area.
Okay
I would go back to Atlanta to see if the weather channel headquarters do a tour
Wish it was 75 out..were buried under a ton of snow!..
Yes I heard.
Did U Have A Hard Driving AT Night In Atlanta Mike Especially Not Knowing Where The Unmarked Police Vehicle’s Might Be Compared During The Daytime
I drive slow lol.
Mike Can U See Driving AT Night Without Glasses Cause Some People Have Bad Night Vision Just Asking
Yeah I'm fine but I've heard as you get older it gets harder to see at night.
@Mileage Mike Travels Hey,Mike. Do you know the exact date this was recorded? My wife was in Piedmont Hospital a couple of years ago and I was wondering if you were recording this at that time. Thanks 😊
@@oneobserver6116
I do think that it was recorded in December 2020. And then it was uploaded on December 22, 2020.
This was around Christmastime.
You can tell your wife that this was filmed on December 22, 2020.
@Darnell Graham Thanks. She was in there about six months later.
