This cache is hidden on Cornelia St., a side street off Edgewood Avenue. Make your way to this cache and then head up to the top of the hill where Cornelia intersects with Edgewood and take a stroll. If you turn left, you will pass some great restaurants and bars as you head toward the downtown skyline. If you head right, you will cross over the Beltline and into the quaint neighborhood of Inman Park.
Edgewood Avenue has played a significant role in the city's development since the late 19th century. Originally known as Foster Street, it was renamed Edgewood Avenue as part of a broader initiative to improve connectivity between downtown Atlanta and its emerging suburbs. In 1886, entrepreneur Joel Hurt established the Atlanta & Edgewood Street Railroad Company, introducing the city's first electric streetcar service in 1889. This streetcar line facilitated access to Inman Park, Atlanta's first garden suburb, promoting residential expansion eastward. The avenue became a hub for various architectural and infrastructural developments. Notably, the Equitable Building, completed in 1892 at the corner of Edgewood Avenue and Pryor Street (now Park Place), stood as Atlanta's first skyscraper until its demolition in 1971.
Edgewood Avenue continued to evolve, reflecting the city's growth and the increasing importance of electric power in urban life. In 1926, the Georgia Railway and Power Company constructed a substation at 148 Edgewood Avenue to supply electricity to downtown Atlanta. This building has recently been the subject of preservation efforts due to its historical significance and its association with the Civil Rights Movement. Today, Edgewood Avenue is renowned for its vibrant nightlife and cultural scene, particularly around its intersection with Boulevard in the Old Fourth Ward. The area boasts a variety of restaurants, bars, and art spaces, contributing to its reputation as a lively and dynamic corridor within the city. The ongoing efforts to preserve historic structures along Edgewood Avenue highlight the community's commitment to maintaining the area's rich heritage amidst modern development (Atlanta History Center, 2025; Wikipedia, 2025).
