Happily presenting Atlanta - Alicia D style! Enjoy!!
First - one must see Ebenezer Baptist Church - and experience all that MLK accomplished!
The artsy - flare version - a huge favorite of mine!
The Sweet Auburn Fire Station - an iconic civil rights area of ATL!
Switching gears - to the World of Coke - a recommendation from my parents - the pharmacists!
Snapped the giant coke bottle while sipping the best Cherry Coke!
Rented a vehicle one day to head out to Stone Mountain - quite an experience to say the least. I loved the tribute to the historical men of the South...
But found this at the base of the historical carving - it's Snow Mountain - and being from Utah this whole concept puzzled me. I'm fine with manufactured snow - we use it a lot to build a solid ski base - but the whole conveyor belt to get people back up the hill - ummm - cheating!
And finally, The Fox Theater - a historical landmark built in the late 20's with the Shriners and Fox - quite an interpretation of Middle Eastern architecture.
Atlanta was a great get-away - and now it's back to your regularly scheduled blog! :)
Alicia,
Loved the photos of Atlanta. It flooded my mind with memories of Dad and I's many visits to this enchanting city. I missed seeing a photo of Mary Macs and the memory of potlickers soup!
Love, Mom
