Decatur is the rare small city that's genuinely worth the trip on its own terms—a walkable downtown square with zero chain restaurants, a DeKalb Farmers Market that stocks food from 50 countries across 140,000 square feet, one of the country's largest independent book festivals, and Eddie's Attic, the intimate music venue where John Mayer, Sugarland, and the Indigo Girls launched careers. Six miles from Atlanta and a world apart from it.
