Sandy Springs’ business district along Roswell Road (State Highway 9) is undergoing a transformation. The area is being converted to a “mixed-use,” pedestrian-friendly center with the focus on residential, commercial and community enterprises. For more than a decade, the Sandy Springs Revitalization, Inc. has worked diligently to develop and enhance the aesthetic appeal of the Roswell Road corridor and the results are impressive. Stroll along the streets, explore our many boutiques and bistros – experience the ambience and flavor of Sandy Springs at your leisure. While in Sandy Springs you may notice our Town Turtles. A work of art and a conversation piece, they sit on many street corners and throughout our shopping areas as a friendly reminder that there is more to Sandy Springs than meets the eye. These giant painted turtles are replicas of the Eastern Box Turtle, an indigenous resident of our area. During your walks along the Chattahoochee River you may find the living inspirations for these whimsical works of art. www.townturtles.org
