Piedmont Avenue (Atlanta)

Along the way, Piedmont Avenue passes through Midtown Atlanta where several historic properties are located on the street.

[2] Piedmont Avenue Southeast begins at the Georgia State Capitol in Downtown Atlanta at Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive.

It proceeds (one-way northbound) northeast, crossing under the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) line at Georgia State station.

At this point Piedmont Avenue forms the border between the SoNo neighborhood on the west and Old Fourth Ward on the east.

In this section, Piedmont passes the Georgia Power headquarters, Renaissance Park, many gated apartment communities and several newer high-rise residential buildings, and the Atlanta Civic Center, former site of the Buttermilk Bottom slum.
