The nightlife in Edgewood can be described in one word: Eclectic. The bars have their own specific identities and personalities, and there is never a dull moment in the area. They have gimmicks for all demographics ranging from the underground musicians (Department Store), the hipsters (The Sound Table), the karaoke lovers (Mother), the gamers (Joystick) and the plain eclectic (Sister Louisa’s). I decided to take one night, and have one drink at each spot. Let’s see how this goes.

It's difficult to know where to begin describing Zoo Atlanta, which houses more than 1,400 animals, representing more than 200 species from around the world.
