Tips
- Named in honor of Georgia's founder, James Edward Oglethorpe, in 1742. On the East side of the square, check out the Owens-Thomas House, an example of the finest Regency architecture in the US.
- Grab a take-out from Zunzi's around the corner on York Street, find a park bench and enjoy a meal and some people-watching. Benches are low to ground...almost as if they were designed for dwarfs.
- Live moss!!!
