Seal Place

Seal Place is a small non-through street in midtown Atlanta that runs a short, straight line from Monroe Drive to Monroe Circle. Near Monroe Drive's intersections with Virginia Avenue, 8th and 10th Streets, it is an easy walk to Piedmont Park. In the early 1970s, the small neighborhood was home to numerous creative individuals representative of the counterculture of the time: artists, musicians, journalists, photographers, actors, architects, designers, and others. The rock club Richards was just around the corner, as was the homecooking of The Silver Grill. Arlan's, a 24-hour supermarket fronting Ponce de Leon Avenue, was easily reached via a rear cut-through off Monroe Circle at Greenwood. It was a unique place in a unique time.
