Here's an old photo of a new transmitter for WSB in 1929

 

WSB East Lake transmitter

 

Here's the picture description from a 1947 book:

     "Transmitting facilities constructed in the East Lake section of Atlanta late in 1929 allowed WSB to increase its power to 5,000 watts considerably expanding its coverage area"

Anybody know exactly where it was?  Thanks!

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

Here's a link to that story but there's lots more to explore.

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!
