 Not Your Average Store |
772 North Highland Avenue Atlanta, GA 30306 United States +1 404 872 1003 http://www.bellystore.com |
You've never been to a store like Belly General Store – or maybe you have. Dedicated to preserving the memory of the historic Fleeman's Pharmacy, an Atlanta institution, this store is a unique twist on the general stores of old, complete with the long wooden sliding ladder behind the counter. Instead of selling gigantic bulk bags of flour or sugar, they sell arguably the city's best cupcakes and bagels. And that's not all. Large wooden armories are stocked with everything from licorice, soap, cookies, and pasta. Everything sold at Belly's is unique, made without preservatives or additives. Patrons are invited to enjoy their goodies on one of the three wooden picnic tables. Review © 2009, Wcities |
 Nature shop with a global view |
780 North Highland Avenue Atlanta, GA 30306 United States +1 404 892 3880 |
A smoky, spicy aroma welcomes visitors to this quirky shop in the Highlands. Eccentric owner Jorge Castillo enjoys, and sells, perhaps the best sampling of incense in town. Almost more museum than store, the Crystal Dolphin derived its name from the amazing selection of arts and crafts that feature—you guessed it—dolphins. Pick one out for the porpoise lover on your list or browse through the endless array of jewelry, crystals and fine art. Review © 2009, Wcities |

Retro Style |
Koenenkade 8 (near Virginia Avenue) Atlanta, GA 1081 KH United States +1 404 870 0690 |
Shop owner Terri Hill has put together a stylish gift-giver's paradise. Treat yourself to one of the many lotions or bath salts or pick up a one-of-a-kind candle holder (along with a one-of-a-kind candle). For the serious lover of vintage clothing, head to the rear of the store. The collection of wild styles leans fancifully back toward the 1930s and beyond. Complete the vintage ensemble with a piece of period or artisan jewelry, and let the flapping begin. Review © 2009, Wcities |

Looking more like a grossly overcrowded fitness club, GRC is a veritable warehouse of athletic and exercise equipment. Choose from an incredible selection of treadmills, stationary bikes, weight machines and specialty items. While 75 percent of GRC's business is done directly with commercial enterprises such as local gyms, the showroom is open to the public, and is a great alternative to spending far too much money at retail sporting goods stores. Stop by and consult with specialist Dan Fry for assistance in building your own personal home gym. Review © 2009, Wcities |

This shop of wonders in the Morningside neighborhood just north of the Highlands provides "functional and dysfunctional adornment for the home and body," or so says the sign over the door.

All This & Braves Tickets, Too |
33 West Park Square Atlanta, GA 30060 United States +1 770 424 6552 |
Before you enter the store, you'll notice the sign that announces Braves tickets available for most home games, an often tough item to find in this baseball town. Owners Peter and Kathleen Johnson are season ticket holders at Turner Field, and are usually willing to part with their behind home plate gems if the price is right. The shop itself provides cards, wrapping supplies and plenty of gift ideas. The Johnsons also stock such fun items as hand tuned wind chimes by J.W. Stannard and the full line of Margaret Furlong products. Review © 2009, Wcities |
