Grove Park (Atlanta)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Located in police precinct or zone 1 west of downtown neighborhood Vine City and north of the Cascade area, Grove Park is an inner-city neighborhood in Atlanta, Georgia, yet not too close to the city as it rests just inside Atlanta's perimeter highway I-285. Grove Park is the original home of new sensations such as Atlanta rap star T.I., Andre 3000, and the Baltimore Ravens Pro-Bowl halfback Jamal Lewis. Grove park is also one Atlanta's most storied neighborhoods. The city's historically black university center featuring Morehouse and Spellman Coleges are adjacent to the neighborhood as well. The schools that serve the neighborhood are Grove Park Elementary, Carter G. Woodson Elementary School, Benjamin S. Carson Honors Preparatory School, and Douglass High School.
