About Normaltown
Normaltown is the stretch of Prince Avenue west of downtown named for the old State Normal School, with local restaurants, coffee, bars and shops, the UGA Health Sciences Campus close by and streets of bungalows and older homes around it.
How we measure the walk
We follow actual walking routes on sidewalks, trails, paths and streets, at an easy 3 mph, from the edge of Normaltown. A home counts if the walk takes 20 minutes or less. Straight-line distance can be misleading when a creek or highway is in the way.
