Erskine Memorial Fountain
Historical landmark
👍👍 Atlanta's first public fountain, gifted to the city of Atlanta by Ruby Ward, daughter of Judge John Erskine, in his memory. Installed at the corner of Peachtree and West Peachtree streets in 1896, but moved to Grant Park in 1912. A nice place to sit and people watch.

BeltLine 0 Mile Marker
Historical landmark
😐 Best place to park is in the parking lot for Lee + White. The trail here can be confusing because it’s disjointed and merges with another trail. But there were a lot less people than the east side BeltLine trail so walking was pleasant. There’s some murals along the trail. Enjoy y’all!

😐 The building that houses the zero mile marker at 55 Lower Wall Street is under ground (ie. Below Upper Wall Street and basically under a Central Ave bridge) and is home to a large number of homeless. Best no to go at night. Visited Zero Mile location Feb. 8, 2019 and found the building had been rem...
