Flashback Photos: Once upon Edgewood Avenue, 1890s-2007
It was the main thoroughfare between downtown Atlanta and the city's first suburb, Inman Park, and the street was home to the city's first electric streetcar lines, created to connect the two locations in the 1880s. Edgewood runs through the re-invigorated Old Fourth Ward, and the street is once again host to a streetcar with the launch of service in December 2014.
