Kelly Stocks, president of the Little Five Points Business Association, and Melaine Raab, secretary of the Little Five Points Business Association and co-owner of the Little Five Points Corner Tavern

The Halloween season is upon us, which means it’s time for the Little Five Points Halloween Festival and Parade, which takes place October 21 and 22 in Atlanta. More than 55,000 visitors are expected to attend this annual fundraiser for the Little Five Points Business Association. So it’s the perfect opportunity to explore the business landscape of one of the city’s most unique districts. Located just outside of downtown Atlanta, Little Five Points is known as the “bohemian center of the South” with its counterculture, alternative, artsy vibe and more than 100 independently owned businesses. Stocks and Raab talk about what makes Little Five Points special, its business history, how the neighborhood attempts to balance identity with growth, and much more.
