It doesn't seem that long ago....

You remember when it ended on s.side and you had to tae 19 -41 to Daytona ?

Diehard44 is on a distinguished road
Me, I grew up in Atlanta in the '40s, '50s, and '60s and I've never lived for any real length of time anywhere else. But I have spent a lot of time in other cities. College, the service, and for my work, and I've talked to a whole lot of folks about how they feel about their cities. Sure, lots has changed here and it isn't what it was in its past but I can remember how people said the exact same thing at any time along the way.

Things always change but I still love the city and still think it's a great place to live. Every place had and has its bad points and good points. My folks came here in 1939 and never left. I was born in Boston, MA (my grandmother's house during the war.) I've been back and, thanks but no thanks, I'll stick to Atlanta.

Just the way I feel about it.

If you haven't seen this site, try it. If you've got good memories about Atlanta, you'll love wandering this one.

ATLANTA TIME MACHINE
