Atlanta History
Like the Dew
Written by trainiac   
Thursday, 28 January 2010

I've been exploring a great website lately: Like the Dew. It was founded by a bunch of ex-AJC folks and has many other writers too and they don't just cover Atlanta but there's a lot of Atlanta stuff to be found.

 

Here's a taste. A great old photo of Lewis Grizzard and Hosea Williams

Great interview on City Cafe  with Prof. Crimmons this week about the history of the Fabulous Fox Theatre. It celebrates it's 80th anniversary on Christmas Day!

Ran across an outstanding paper on the history of Ponce Springs from the early days when the streetcar first went there in the 1870's through the amusement park days ending in the 1920's. Highly recommended work by Sarah Toton for Southern Spaces:
 

Wading in Ponce Springs in 1890
