meal, extraordinary service and an inviting atmosphere, and we are going to continue making sure they consistently receive all of these elements.» The development of Alive After 5 on Canton Street is a large contributing factor to the explosion of restaurant activity in Roswell, particularly in its historic downtown corridor. The event provides invaluable exposure to those who travel
from other communities to explore the area. A surprising percentage of the visitors to Alive After 5 are not actually Roswell residents.
