Did you know that Peachtree Street was once lined with the grand mansions of Atlanta's elite? And did you know that only six are left (five in their original locations)? This week, I'm telling you all about where they are, when they were built, who lived in them and how you can live in one...all while mispronouncing every famous Atlanta architect's name.

They share a name, yet demonstrate two different Atlanta suburban development styles - the streetcar and the automobile. With a few homes dating back 150 years, these two Atlanta neighborhoods also showcase the city-wide boom of the 1920s. This week I mention mysterious fires, azaleas, Masons, redlining and why we should thank Clark Atlanta for the new portion of the Beltline.

The legacy of women's influence in Atlanta earliest history is not always tangible. There's no downtown office building, no company that still bears their name - but even in those patriarchal, religious, and societal confines, Nellie Peter Black was able to serve our city and state throughout most of her life. Descendant of a prominent Atlanta family, she lived with the true desire to help those in need - starting the first mission in Atlanta, organizing the first free hospital and helping to establish free kindergarten. If there was a club or organization in the city, Nellie was probably at the head.

The cornerstone at Atlanta's first public hospital was laid without the funds to actually finish building it! Finally opened in 1892, it's been serving the city for the last 127 years. This week I'm sharing the earliest hospital history, the true "Father of Grady', why the first patient was rejected and the terrible luck of its first motorized ambulance.

Until last week, I had NO clue this unincorporated Cobb County enclave was actually 'ITP'...but that's not the only surprise that Vinings has to offer. Beginning with the Cherokee, who had two villages and a ferry operating in the area, it would be given in the land lottery to Hardy Pace, who built his family home and cemetery there. Throw in a good Sherman story, historic preservation, abandoned graves, whiskey and a ski slope - and you won't want to miss this week's episode!
