Thousands biked, walked and skated in the Old fourth Ward on Sunday afternoon for Atlanta Streets Alive. Portions of Highland Avenue, North Avenue and Boulevard were closed to vehicles to allow merriment in the streets. Check out the photos below courtesy of Atlanta Streets Alive and be sure to visit the event’s Facebook page for many, many more!
