The city is an exceptionally beautiful small-city downtown comprised primarily of boutiques, antique shops and tourist attractions. Its architecture reflects the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Much downtown revitalization has occurred since the early 1990s. Significant commercial enterprises that do not serve the tourist trade have relocated almost entirely to the "strip mall" corridors along U.S. Hwy. 64 East and U.S. Hwy. 176. The center city has little resident population, but historic neighborhoods may be viewed on the city's west side and in the northern suburb of Druid Hills. Depressed areas are to be found along the city's east side, though redevelopment efforts are underway along formerly depressed 7th Avenue East.
