Visiting Decatur’s downtown square is like going “Back to the Future”! This historic court building with its clock reminds me of the one in the movie. It sets the scene for a quaint downtown area with a lively restaurant scene, and quirky shops. Worth a visit.

As a Foodie, I was in heaven!!!This is truly an enormous international market, with fresh produce, canned and dry goods from all over the world, fresh bakery, fresh meat, seafood and cheese from every where! Fresh flowers. An elegant Fresh and fancy dessert aisle. A spice shelf as long as an ordinary grocery aisle - floor to almost ceiling, fresh dried herbs and spices at prices so low you look twice! (Example. large bag of bay leaves for 67 cents) Everything from allspice to zatar! There's a wine section, fresh made pasta of all shapes and sizes! Did I mention the fresh coffees? And an array of cooks tools...But - the crowning jewel is the self serve restaurant - a buffet line really - with hot and cold selections that will amaze you! Homemade soups, international vegetables such as spicy Chinese eggplant, miscellaneous meat, an entire aisle of cold international salad like tabouli, then several kinds of fresh made Indian Samosas, pizza, fried chicken...A dizzying array of food delights! It's wise to get it in a takeout container as you will inevitably get tooooo much and not be able to eat it all. This is a destination NOT to be missed!

We rented the covered pavilion for the Sunday after wedding brunch. Great gathering place after all the excitement of the prior evening reception. There are tennis courts, play ground, dog park, soccer fields, walking trails and swimming pool that are nicely maintained. There are two entrances for parking. About one mile from Marta station in Decatur.
