Adair Street was a dare for youngsters
Placeholder Image
Adair Street, which connects Oak Street to Ivey Terrace, is one of Gainesville’s shortest streets. It isn’t insignificant, though because it provides another access point to Ivey Terrace Park and trails, including Wilshire and Longwood, that lead from the shores of Lake Lanier to downtown Gainesville. The Adair Street hill also wasn’t insignificant to children who used to ride it like a race track when there was even less traffic on it than there is today.
