Downtown Decatur is a hidden treasure in the array of teen hangouts in the metro Atlanta area. It’s full of entertainment and a great place to go with a few friends for an afternoon of awesomeness. Last week, I took some of my friends to Decatur, and we explored a few of the best hangout spots in the area. Bonus – it’s super easy to get there on MARTA!
