I just thought about a Russian restaurant in Sandy Springs/Buckhead. I think it was called Papa Perioge's. It was on Roswell Road inside the Perimeter and I think it burned down in the early 90s. Does anyone remember more about it?

I do remember Perogi's...it had quite a local following. It was located in one of those high-gabled old IHOP buildings. |

That's a good link.
Somebody needs to work on a such a site for Lake Lanier. Things just keep improving out there.
Good for what ails you.

It went on, no doubt about that--still makes me sick, WASP, that I am.
As far as I can tell things have changed --fingers crossed.
Learn from the past and let freedom ring.
In the 60's DeKalb County started building public swimming pools and I know everyone was welcome at Kittredge Pool. Still open, IIRC. |

I don't understand this at all. My sister and I went to Venetian in the summer of '68 as part of a YMCA daycamp, and it was integrated then.
The one thing in my mind that stands out from back then was that Funtown DID discriminate. It was a crappy little amusement park somewhere along the Connector on the way to the airport. It was always on the news back then with protests, etc. |

That doesn't surprise me. Did you know that before WWII that the city of Decatur schools were open from Tuesday -Saturday to discourage Jews from moving in?
Ironic that it is now one of the most liberal areas of Atlanta. |
