Tucked behind the glamourous retail shops on South Dixie Hwy in West Palm Beach<\/strong><\/a>, Georgia Avenue has grown from its industrial roots and has transformed into a shopping district of its own. Lined with hip food trucks, off-beat restaurants, and modern design shops, Georgia Avenue has become a destination for anybody looking for luxury with an air of cool sophistication.<\/p>\n

Surprising Style<\/strong><\/p>\n

The industrial backdrop of Georgia Avenue gives way to some of the longstanding antique shops and craftsmen that have been a part of the neighborhood for decades. \u201cOur friends Melanie and Chris have run Kofski Antiques for over 30 years and represent the hard-working blend of Georgia Avenue and the sometimes mind-boggling universe that lies just over the bridge,\u201d says Reed McIlvaine, owner of Renny And Reed. \u201cI believe it\u2019s the character of the businesses that is still creating the character of the neighborhood. Sometimes old neighborhoods lose character during similar times of change, but Georgia Avenue feels like it\u2019s just getting polished up a bit, all while maintaining its integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n

McIlvaine is just one of many retailers and curators to see the unique beauty that Georgia Avenue embodies. Charles Peed, one of the owners of the family-run retail and design shop Casa Gusto, loves the surprise element of the neighborhood. \u201cIt is very unexpected to find high end design stores sandwiched in between car repair and upholstery shops. The street allows the businesses to be as edgy or as traditional as they want to be with no parameters.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Cool Cach\u00e9<\/strong><\/p>\n

Upscale and cool, gritty and ultra-chic, the world class style on a walkable and accessible street gives the avenue it\u2019s unique feel and \u201cbrings together such a broad universe in the design world,\u201d according to McIlvaine. \u201cLook at Pete and Nelson and their exquisite collection at Devonshire. It\u2019s Georgia Ave that allows for the character they\u2019ve created.\u201d<\/p>\n

It’s this creative freedom and collaborative atmosphere that gives Georgia Avenue its distinctive eccentricity. \u201cI believe in building in places you want to make better. I think just about everybody else on this street feels the same way,\u201d says Danielle Rollins, owner of the design and housewares business that bears her name. \u201cThere\u2019s a \u2018stronger together\u2019 mentality and we are very supportive of each other. It\u2019s important to everyone here that we all thrive and that we preserve and protect craftsmanship.\u201d<\/p>\n

For those looking to see the magical atmosphere firsthand, the second annual Georgia Avenue Holiday Stoll is coming up December 6th from 6:00pm until 8:00pm. \u201cWe are all passionately dedicated to the area and committed to making things happen, hence the creation of the Holiday Stroll,\u201d boasts Rollins. The community of business owners initiated this event in 2022 and they\u2019re pleased to keep this event going. McIlvaine echoes the sentiment by saying they\u2019re \u201cbeyond excited for the second annual Holiday Stroll. I just feel so lucky to be a part of it all.\u201d<\/p>\n
