Tour Cheshire Bridge: Atlanta's Most Eclectic Street

Cheshire Bridge Road is anything but boring. So you know the third annual Taste & Tour of Cheshire Bridge on July 20-21 will be loads of fun. When else will you visit The Colonnade and Woodfire Grill in one night? The two-day tour will feature food tastings, exhibits, product samples, discounts, raffle prizes and more in this celebration of the famous street's diversity. During the 5 - 10 p.m. tour, "tourists" can take bus route 27 from the Lindbergh MARTA Station or park at one of the designated parking areas then hop on and off the tour trolley to visit participating businesses. Buy tickets online -- it's free for children 12 and under. Attendees also can follow the Taste & Tour on Twitter (@tourofCB) or "like" the Facebook page for regular updates. The Lindbergh-LaVista Corridor Coalition (LLCC) and Public Broadcasting Atlanta are sponsoring this year's event, and proceeds will be used to explore the feasibility of establishing a Community Improvement District (CID) in the area.
