I've seen a lot of downtown from that era but never any other areas... I had no idea the Waverly was that old, and I didn't know the King and Queen were built completely separately like that... good find!

Midtown looks lonely

I only remember Atlanta from 1996-onward, so this is all new to me. The only reference I have about live in Atlanta during the 80s comes from old episodes of Designing Women and reading a July 1988 National Geographic article.

Enjoyed the first video. A lot's changed, but it seems like nothing's changed, too.

Also, it took me a minute of staring at the dashboard, but I finally figured out what kind of car our videographer's driving through the city: a Olds Cutlass Calais.

That's probably because of the landscape.
