Atlanta Then and Now (Compact) (Then & Now Thunder Bay)

Description

Atlanta is not only the South's leading city, but also a world-class metropolis. Rich in history and culture, the city has grown and changed dramatically over the last century, while still retaining strong ties to its past. Atlanta Then and Now provides a unique view of these changes. Black-and-white archival photos from the first half of the last century are shown side by side with photos of the same scene today. Five Points, Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthplace, the State Capitol, and Peachtree Street are all here. The lovely homes and dogwood-filled neighborhoods are also featured.

Summary: "Great book."

Purchased this book for my dad, an Atlanta native. He loved it!

Makes a great gift for any Atlanta dweller, and is quite a bit of fun to look at.

Summary: "Atlanta"

As a long term resident of Atlanta, it was great to discover more about the history of the city and the many changes. Michael Rose has done a magnificent job of depicting such a variety of landmarks.
