Television shows and movies often depict the town square as having a gazebo and lots of lawn space, but not all town squares are the same.

This week's Best of Atlanta poll wants to know which Atlanta-area town square you think is best. Don't just vote for the one you live closest to; pick the one you think offers the most lively entertainment, captures the history of the community and truly serves as the cultural center.

Don't see your favorite on our list? Submit a write-in nominee by emailing your pick to nancy.clanton@ajc.com. If enough people suggest your favorite, we'll add it to our poll.
