Despite a multitude of gay spaces, Midtown is the gayborhood in Atlanta and those communities do not shape overnight.
It’s a blessing that gay people not only have a place to dignify themselves as a community in public and that that place is a microcosm for mainstream gay culture entirely. It’s a good thing that this place exists. No, I mean the rainbow-crosswalked, incessantly poppin’, an intersection that’s hailed as the gayest corner in Atlanta. There’s no way to go to bat for that place. Though, obviously, I’m not talking about the wholly unenjoyable restaurant 10th & Piedmont.
This claim on Ten Atlanta’s Yelp page hasn’t been corroborated, but it’s kinda funny tho, isn’t it?īut first, allow me to go to bat a ‘lil for 10th and Piedmont as an intersection and local landmark.
