Peachtree

Atlanta's main drag

Peachtree is a common place name in the American South, especially Georgia, where dozens of streets, neighborhoods, and landmarks bear the name.

In Atlanta, Peachtree Street is the main thoroughfare through downtown, and the name appears on so many roads that it has become a running joke about the city: Which Peachtree do you mean?
